Chicago-based activist group Slaughter Free Chicago was recently successful in shutting down one of the city’s slaughterhouses. Aden Poultry was closed after a city inspection revealed  numerous code violations. The inspection was triggered by complaints submitted by members of Slaughter Free Chicago and those who were concerned about the conditions of the slaughterhouse. 

总部位于芝加哥的活动组织“芝加哥无屠场”最近成功促使该市取缔了一家屠宰场。“芝加哥无屠场”组织的成员以及对屠宰场条件感到忧虑的人们纷纷提出投诉，促使该市检查并发现亚丁禽肉公司有大量违法行为，随即将其关闭。

“We want to thank every person who filed a complaint because every single one is making a difference,” the group posted to its Facebook page. Slaughter Free Chicago members say they will be meeting with Chicago’s top government officials, who have already pledged to inspect the city’s remaining 15 slaughterhouses and cite violations where appropriate. 

“我们要感谢提出投诉的每个人，因为每一个人都可以发挥作用，”该组织在其脸书专页（Facebook page）上发文称。“芝加哥无屠场”组织成员表示将进一步与芝加哥市的政府高级官员举行会谈。这些高级官员们已经做出承诺，将检查本市剩余15家屠宰场并在适当时指控（屠宰场的）违法行为。

“We have good reason to believe that what they found at Aden is going to be typical of all of the other slaughterhouses,” the group said. 

该组织宣称：“我们有充分理由相信，在亚丁禽肉公司发现的事实也是其余所有屠宰场的典型情况。”

Slaughter Free Chicago is a campaign to end slaughter in the city that once promoted itself as the slaughter capital of the world. They believe the current system for regulating existing slaughterhouses is broken and their strategy is to rally communities, activists, local media, and city officials to demand that existing laws be enforced—which they believe would effectively shut down all slaughterhouses, as demonstrated by Aden’s closure.

在这座曾自我标榜为世界屠宰城的都市里，“芝加哥无屠场”组织的目标是全面终结屠宰行为。该组织认为目前现有屠宰场的监管制度已经失效；其采取的策略是联合社区群众、活动人士、本地媒体和市政官员，共同要求政府实施现行法律──该组织认为这样可以有效取缔所有屠宰场，因为亚丁禽肉公司遭到关闭就是一个明证。
