Pig Abattoir Cambodia

Khmer Pig abattoir. Thousands of pigs are slaughtered everyday, in huge abattoirs in the city's outskirts. Abattoir workers, team up in pairs to kill the beasts. Firstly the pigs are stunned with the blow from a heavy metal pipe, then one abattoir worker sits on the beast to hold it down, whilst the other cuts the pig's throat with a huge blade and its bled to death. Other beasts huddle together in fear during the slaughter process. The dead pigs are bathed, butchered and meat cuts carried away in trucks to the city's markets. The male abattoir workers are mostly dressed in shorts, with flip flops or bare feet. Vehicles often enter the abattoir. There is not much attention paid to health and safety. Phnom Penh, Cambodia
