The Division of Agriculture, Marine Affairs, Marketing and the Environment has temporarily suspended cattle slaughter operations at the Scarborough Abattoir.
This has become necessary, after it was discovered that the hoist system currently used to suspend the carcass of animals at the facility, is no longer sturdy due to structural failure. After assessing the situation, D.A.M.M.E engineers have asked that operations be suspended as a precautionary measure, to prevent injury to staff at the facility.
