SIGN THE PETITION

Ask the Mexican government to protect animals from cruelty

Mercy For Animals was instrumental in securing a unanimous point of agreement in Mexico’s senate that encourages the department of agriculture to implement supervision and inspections of Mexican slaughterhouses and shut down establishments like this one that engage in such extreme acts of cruelty.

Now it’s up to you to add your voice to that of Mexico’s congress and sign a petition demanding that the department of agriculture take action.




Dear Department of Agriculture,

I am horrified after watching incredibly disturbing video footage of animal cruelty at a government-owned slaughterhouse in Mexico.

The video shows terrified cows cut open and left to bleed while still able to feel pain. This sickening abuse has no place in a civilized society and does not reflect the values of Mexican citizens, who care about animal welfare.

Cows and other animals are sensitive, intelligent beings who deserve protection from cruelty and suffering. As long as they’re slaughtered for meat, the least we can do is ensure they aren’t tortured to death.

It is time for the Department of Agriculture to reduce the suffering animals endure by implementing proper supervision and inspections of slaughterhouses in Mexico, in light of their legal responsibilities under the Federal Law on Animal Health (Ley Federal de Sanidad Animal) and applicable technical regulations on the protection of animal welfare during slaughter. It is vital for authorities to ensure compliance with our legal framework and penalize those who violate current laws and regulations. Noncompliant and clandestine establishments carrying out extreme acts of cruelty should be shut down.

This is a commonsense measure that would greatly alleviate suffering for millions of animals a year in Mexico.

Thank you.



Death row

Imagine being trapped with no way to escape—and what happens next is your worst nightmare. Cows are repeatedly shot with stun guns, kicked, dragged, cut open, and left bleeding—all while still able to feel pain.

Television star María Gabriela de Faría narrates this shocking video exposing even more rampant animal cruelty inside Mexico’s government-owned slaughterhouses.

Some cows are sent to slaughter pregnant. Babies never take their first breath. They die along with their mothers.

Rampant abuse

This is the seventh investigation Mercy For Animals has conducted at government-owned slaughterhouses across Mexico.

Every time our investigators enter these facilities, they emerge with appalling images of animal abuse.
