Sinergia Animal supported the Vietnamese NGO Vive in the release of Behind the Walls of Small and Medium-Sized Pig Slaughterhouses in Vietnam, an investigation exposing the normalization of extreme cruelty in Vietnam’s pig slaughter industry. Filmed in Hanoi in October 2024, the footage shows pigs having their throats cut while fully conscious, without prior stunning, and being dragged with metal hooks as other animals look on in fear. These practices are widespread, occurring in facilities responsible for around 80% of pig slaughter in the country—approximately 40 million animals each year—despite clear legal requirements under Vietnam’s 2018 Law on Animal Husbandry mandating stunning and shielding animals from witnessing slaughter. The investigation highlights the urgent gap between law and practice and the need for effective enforcement.
