Slaughter of Animals Act, 1933.
This Act which came into force on January Ist, 1934, includes
provisions as to the slaughter of certain animals in Slaughterhouses
and Knackers Yards and the prohibition of slaughter and stunning
except by licensed slaughtermen. Humane slaughtering of animals
(not including sheep) by mechanically operated instruments is made
compulsory with the exception of any animal slaughtered for consumption
by members of the Jewish or Mahomedan faiths. Section
3 of this Act requires Local Authorities to license slaughtermen and
during the year this Council issued licenses for a period expiring at
December 31st, 1934, to three approved persons. The Pood Inspector
satisfied himself on every occasion when slaughtering was
being carried out, that the work was being performed by licensed
persons and by humane methods in the manner prescribed by
Section I of the Act. In this Borough sheep are also required to be
slaughtered by mechanically operated instruments.
The Transfer of Powers (London) Order, 1933, transferred from the
London County Council to the Metropolitan Borough Councils the
function of licensing Slaughterhouses and licenses were granted by
the Council during the year in respect of the two slaughterhouses in
the Borough.
There are no Poultry Slaughterhouses in Camber well.
