EXPOSED: South Africa’s Barbaric Ostrich Slaughterhouses

The Western Cape in South Africa is the ostrich killing capital of the world. Seventy five percent of the world’s ostrich leather, feathers, and meat come from slaughterhouses in this region.

The most lucrative part of the ostrich is the skin on the back; this is where the money is made. Handbags, purses, and shoes manufactured under designer names such as Prada.

In September 2015, PETA US investigators traveled to South Africa to record never-before-seen footage inside the largest ostrich slaughterhouses in the world, including that of the exclusive supplier of ostrich skins for Hermès’ Birkin bags.
