Protest Outside Shrewsbury Slaughterhouse Draws Response From Company

On Saturday, My9NJ filmed a local New Jersey group held a peaceful protest outside of Catelli Brothers slaughterhouse in Shrewsbury, NJ.

Catelli Brothers was temporarily closed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture after an investigation by the Humane Society showed still-conscious calves hanging upside down on a conveyor belt, and a calf being prodded while struggling to walk.

Catelli Brothers has now been cleared and reopened for business, but some in the state disagree with the reopening, including Amy Horowitz an organizer for the group NJ Farm Animals Save.

Watch the video produced by My9NJ's Chasing New Jersey to hear the Catelli Brothers response to changes they've made at the Route 35 slaughterhouse. 

Chasing New Jersey airs weeknights at 10pm on My9. Visit their Facebook page.
