The CEO of the slaughterhouse responded with the following. (Please excuse my translation skills)

A few violations of protocol have been filmed and put together in this video. The footage has been created with the use of a hidden camera over the course of 1½ month. This method results in a large amount of video footage, that have let to the video where the viewer gets the impression that this is par-of-the-course. It is not. The specialised external control would've never allowed this to happen.
