During ARM’s investigation of Ali Meats, shocking footage was captured of mass slaughtering. Goats are inhumanely butchered by having their throats slashed open and thrown on top of piles of animals still alive, thrashing in pain and suffering. Aside from the disturbing incident, this is in gross violation of the USDA guidelines of the Humane  Slaughter ACT of the United States.

At the completion of this investigation, ARM documented 41 felony acts of animal cruelty resulting in death and the illegal sale of unadulterated meat to consumers.

A detailed report of ARM’s findings was submitted to the Orange County Sherriff’s Office, Orange County State Attorney’s Office, and the USDA on August 4th, 2022.
