Final narrative
An employee was attempting to shackle a cow that had survived the slaughter process, using a chain connected to a winch. As the cow was rolling around, the employee attached the chain to the cow and started the winch. When the winched tightened, the chain also tightened and pinched the employee's fingers, amputating the left middle and index fingers.
