There is a very distressing video of the possums being inhumanely killed in Mr Kellys processing plant. We are trying to get it put online for people to use in their submissions, but there are some legal issues to work through first. The comments below are taken from the Animal Lib SA website. A video was taken in the Lenah Valley possum slaughterhouse in January 1999, over 6 months after the Senate Committee report was published, with its endorsement of the industry. The video clearly showed: Several possums were not rendered unconscious by the first hit of the captive bolt pistol. The stunner then slowly walked over to reload the pistol, and slowly returned to the possum for a second shot. Since the possum was hit by the first shot, it is likely to have suffered pain during this time. A disturbing number of possums were not unconscious when their throat was cut. Some were sufficiently mobile to leap out of the trough onto the floor. Problems occurred when the slaughterman stopped to sharpen his knife, and stunned possums coming through the chute piled up. In some cases the slaughterman had trouble holding a struggling possum still while he tried to slit the throat. Pouch joeys were picked up and bashed against a metal trough, then dumped in a waste bin. to sign the petition, go to:http://www.aact.org.au/possum.htm
