SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS APT 1955.
There are twenty persons licensed by the Council as fit
persons to slaughter animals in the district as compared with
twenty one in the previous year.
Ho complaint was received concerning the conduct of any
of these men.
Slaughter houses are visited frequently by an Inspector of
the R. S. P. C. A., who holds an honorary appointment under the
Council, thus giving him power to enter slaughter houses in order
to see that animals are humanely slaughtered.
A complaint was received from the Rabbinical Commission
for the Licencing of Shochetim, stating that the attention of the
Commission had been drawn to the fact that the killing of cattle
for Jewish use had taken place in a slaughter house in the district,
by a Shochet(Ritual Slaughterer), who did not hold the Licence of
the Commission. The owner of the slaughter house in question,
informed me that the slaughter-man produced what purported to be
a Licence to Slaughter Animals, but he could not say if it was a
Licence issued by the Commission as it was written in Hebrew.
Ho slaughtering by Jews is now carried on at the slaughter
house.
