STARVING, MAIMED CHICKENS SOLD TO PUBLIC

Inspectors from the NSPCA Farm Animal Protection Unit found starving and maimed birds being sold to the public on Nulaid’s premises.

Durban – Employees of one of the biggest commercial egg producers have been caught selling starving, maimed and sick chickens to the public at steeply discounted prices.

Some were in such poor condition that their wings had become infected with gangrene, according to the national council of the SPCA (NSPCA), which said on Tuesday it would press charges against Nulaid.

The company is owned by food giant Pioneer Foods, which admitted on Tuesday that a “mistake” had been made and that standards had been breached. It said some of the employees involved had been fired. The NSPCA said about 1 558 chickens were slaughtered under its supervision on February 26, after it obtained a court order authorising the humane killing.

Grace de Lange, the NSPCA’s spokeswoman, said they planned to charge Nulaid under the Animal Protection Act for maiming the chickens and causing unnecessary suffering.

She said inspectors had been horrified to find them in a terrible condition during a routine inspection on a Nulaid distribution outlet in Phokeng, North West last month.

From the company’s own records, the NSPCA discovered that in less than a month, 1 737 chickens had either been dead on arrival at the outlet, or had had to be “emergency-slaughtered” because of their severe injuries. It was also discovered that Nulaid employees had been selling injured and sick chickens to the public at the steeply discounted price of R21 each. The chickens are known as end-of-lay hens as they had reached the end of their economically productive life as egg layers.

De Lange said last month’s incident had not been the first, as the council had been sending warnings to Nulaid since 2011 to change their practices.

Hennie Lourens, the general manager of Quantum Foods, the Pioneer division that includes Nulaid, said the company was taking steps to remedy matters.

“We did make a mistake; there was a breach of our standards. We’ve taken decisive action against the individuals involved. Some individuals who were responsible were fired and some received warnings,” he said. “We’re engaging the NSPCA and are continuing discussions on how to move forward on a constructive basis.” While applauding the NSCPA’s decision to charge Nulaid, Louise van der Merwe, representing Compassion in World Farming, a non-governmental organisation aiming to put an end to cruel factory farming, said it would be better to press charges against Pioneer Foods.

The charges, she said, would be for “the suffering of all the millions of Nulaid hens who spend their lives in impossibly tight spaces in battery cages”.

Van der Merwe said she had laid a criminal complaint against Nulaid’s predecessor, Lemoenkloof Plase, in 1991 for allegedly violating the act by, among other things, “maiming” hens (through de-beaking) and by causing them unnecessary suffering at cull outlets.

However, after 18 months of deliberation the State had refused to prosecute on grounds that there was no reasonable chance of success.

Van der Merwe also claimed the court file had “mysteriously disappeared”.

Pioneer’s spokesman, Lulu Khumalo, said this was not the first time that complaints had been made against Nulaid.

“Accordingly, Nulaid is taking this very seriously … and will certainly be working very hard to ensure there is no repeat of this.”

She said the veterinarian responsible for Nulaid’s local operations would ensure that the company’s culling operations were “welfare-compliant in terms of the Sapa (South African Poultry Association) code of practice”.

Asked to comment on the possible health risks of eating sick chickens, Dr Ivor Funnel, a gastroenterologist at St Augustine’s Hospital, said the symptoms would include diarrhoea and vomiting.

OUR COMMENTS

(1) The company’s averment that it had “made a mistake”, is the flabbiest of excuses. It is utterly baseless. The absolutely unacceptable and brutal reality are standard practices in these miserable chicken-killing facilities which the Carrion Cartel halaalizes. That this vile practice is standard at the plants is substantiated by the NSPCA’s representative, said: “De Lange said last month’s incident had not been the first, as the council had been sending warnings to Nulaid since 2011 to change their practices.”

(2) The arrival at the killing facilities of thousands of dead and near-dead chickens is a norm at these miserable plants. Dead and near-to-dead chickens all get halaalized. Muslims must ponder what exactly they are devouring when they consume these rotten, diseased and haraam chickens.

(3) The revelations in this report will undoubtedly revulse Muslims. The deluge of evidence condemning and damning the Carrion Cartel is more than adequate to convince Muslims of the imperative need to abstain from devouring the filth and disease which SANHA & Co. halaalizes. Scandal upon scandal in the carrion chicken industry is being exposed with increasing frequency.

There is no need to wonder why there are so many inexplicable grave diseases in the community. What other than disease is to be expected from the consumption of rotten, diseased and gangrene-infested chickens?

In addition to the disease of these chickens including their eggs, is the irrefutable fact of the haraam slaughtering process yielding nothing but Haraam carrion chickens which are deceptively passed off as ‘halaal’.

IT IS WAAJIB (COMPULSORY) FOR MUSLIMS TO ABSTAIN FROM CONSUMING ALL CHICKENS KILLED BY ALL THE NON-MUSLIM KILLING FACILITIES. ALL OF THESE HALAALIZED CHICKENS ARE HARAAM WITHOUT ANY SHADOW OF DOUBT.

RAINBOW, EARLY BIRD, COUNTY FAIR AND EVERY OTHER BRAND OF COMMERCIALLY KILLED CHICKENS ARE HARAAM.
