A VISIT TO THE ANIMALS ON DEATH ROW AT THE DANDENONG SALE "SLAVE" YARDS
(Dandenong Stock Market, Victoria, Australia)
Photos and Text by Fiona Rees

There were many pigs at the Dandenong 'slave' yards. These pigs were touched with blue paint meaning 'tomorrow's bacon.'

Sloppy shearing job, cuts all over the other side. Red paint meaning - knackery - pet food. I talk calming words - I would have bought her but she was already sold and it meant death for her and a broken heart for me.

My friends, they have been sold. By the end of the day their lives will be drained away.

Cold, and wanting mum, in pen alone. Five days old.

Few days old, number 0286. Sitting in a urine puddle for warmth. Needs his mum.

Blue forehead - tomorrow's veal.

These cows came in two storey truck - urine and shit falling on to their bodies and heads.

Yearlings awaiting auctioning.

"Can you hear me? I'm calling out. I want my mum." A pen of calves a few days old left over from the dairy industry.

Afternoon. Exhausted cattle. No water provided.

A sun-blistered nose.

"I'm here and I want you to take me. Can you see me?"

We followed the trucks to Cranbourne slaughterhouse. These babies await death adjacent to the killing room.
