Slaughter of Animals Bill as amended by Standing
Committee A.
A Bill as amended by Standing Committee A to amend the law relating
to slaughtering of animals for human food.
This Bill introduces a uniform system for the licensing and regulation
of slaughter-houses throughout the United Kingdom. Under the present
law there is no adequate control over slaughter-houses in large areas of
the country, and in some areas there is no control at all. The Bill
proposes that all persons carrying on the business of slaughterers, in
rural as well as urban districts, shall be required to take out licences
which will require periodical renewal.
The Bill also contains provisions intended to prevent, as far as
possible, the occurrence of cruelty in connection with the slaughtering of
animals for human food, and, with the same object, proposes that a
licence shall be required for all men employed to kill animals.
The Bill does not touch the powers of local authorities to provide
public slaughter-houses.
