Excerpt:
A halal poultry company that supplies major supermarkets boiled chickens alive after failures at a slaughterhouse.
1Stop Halal this month admitted causing unnecessary suffering to 81 chickens at its plant in Eye, Suffolk.
The company, co-owned by Ranjit Singh Boparan, a multimillionaire known as the "chicken king", was fined £8,000 and ordered to pay £6,000 costs.
Faulty electrical equipment meant that the birds were not stunned before being killed. 1Stop Halal also failed to cut the chickens' throats before they entered a scalding tank used to loosen feathers on dead birds.
