from AP/Yahoo! News

Australia recently announced the suspension of live cattle exports to Indonesia on account of the latter's "cruel" methods of slaughtering cattle! The cruel practices of animal slaughter in Indonesia was recently documented on video by an animal welfare group based in Australia  which exports up to 40 per cent of Indonesia's beef  consumption amounting to roughly Australian $ 33O Million  annually!

According to an article , " RSPCA chief scientist Bidda Jones, who analyzed the video slaughter of 50 cattle, said the slaughter men used on average 11 cuts to the throat to kill each animal, and as many as 33. The Australian standard was death within 30 seconds.

"They basically hack the heads off with blunt knifes, causing a lot of distress and pain," Jones said.

Furthermore, there were documented cases where " video showed abattoir workers break a bull's tail and repeatedly gouge its eyes and nostrils in failed attempts to get the animal to regain its feet, despite a broken leg."

Below are some video footage showing  cruel practices of slaughtering cattle in Indonesia...
