Henry Heap is probably the most wanted man in the meat industry. Just the mention of what he does is enough to make a butcher's blood boil and a meat producer go weak at the knees. And there's no doubt that between them they would probably like to have Henry hung, drawn and quartered, then baked into a meat pie. Most photographers have their speciality but Henry's is more unusual than most. He is an animal photographer, but we're not talking about pet poodle portraits here.
Henry deals with animals in far less dignified circumstances.
Henry has dared to go where few other vegetarians have dared to go before, right into the bloody, dripping jaws of the meat industry's abattoirs. For he has made it his mission in life to expose the horrors that go on in these dingy dens of death and bring them to the attention of the general public. Knee deep in giblets, Henry has photographed harrowing scenes of animals systematically going to their deaths in the most humiliating conditions. His hard-hitting photographs have been used for posters, leaflets and in magazines and newspapers promoting the animal cause. With a lot of cunning and guts is the answer.
