Meat processing is inherently messy, but it should never be dirty. Breaking down a carcass inevitably spreads around a lot of blood and meat scraps, which is precisely why cleaning is so important - there's nothing unhygienic about that debris unless it's allowed to accumulate and fester.

There is no excuse for the kind of violations described in this report, nor is there any excuse for allowing such a dangerous plant to continue operating. In my country, I would expect an inspector to immediately close a plant in such a state; following prosecution, there would be a real possibility of the operators being indefinitely prohibited from operating any food business.
