All slaughterhouses in England will be required to install CCTV
British authorities want to make CCTV mandatory for every slaughterhouse in England, givind the Food Standards Agency's official vets unlimited access to footage. The move is set to reassure consumers "that high welfare standards are being effectively enforced."
Furthermore, the Government will raise standards for farm animals and domestic pets by modernising statutory animal welfare codes to reflect enhancements in medicines, technology and the latest research and advice from vets. The codes will remain enshrined in law and the first to be updated will cover chickens bred for meat.
"We have some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world and the actions I am setting out today will reinforce our status as a global leader," Environment Secretary Michael Gove added. "As we prepare to leave the EU, these measures provide a further demonstration to consumers around the world that our food is produced to the very highest standards."
