The article seeks to outline the images of cruelty towards animals for slaughter in Poland at the turn of the 1950s and the 1960s. The source materials constituting the basis for the research are primarily the scarce archival documents found at the Archives of Modern Records and the Archive of the Institute of National Remembrance. The author seeks to determine at which stage of the animals’ life the level of cruelty was the highest, how the abuse was manifested, and what forms it took.
