Argentina | Mercedes | Slaughterhouse Lamar | Horsemeat Import

We return to the slaughterhouse Lamar at 3:00 at night. More pens are now also filled with horses that have been delivered in the meantime. The pens look overcrowded and the horses do not have enough space. Animals often show aggressive behaviour in crowded conditions. Most of the horses are calm and resting, but we note a black horse that repeatedly bites the others standing nearby. At 4:30, the first workers arrive at the plant. Watchdogs that have noticed us keep barking. We leave Lamar and drive to the slaughterhouse in Entre Rios.
