The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals otherwise known as (PETA) is asking for a investigation into a Callaway County slaughterhouse.
A letter from PETA was sent to the Callaway County Prosecuting Attorneys Office asking for the consideration of criminal charges against Central Missouri Meat and Sausage.
According to a press release from PETA on July 3rd slaughterhouse operations were suspended after a worker allegedly shot a pig with a handheld pistol twice causing it to struggle and cry out.
No word on if the Callaway County Prosecutor is considering on bringing forth any charges against the slaughterhouse.
