PRIVATE SLAUGHTER - HOUSES.
The number of Slaughter-houses in the district is five,
four of these are Licensed and one Registered. The regis tared
Slaughter-house which was closed last year owing to the owner
giving up business has been struck off the register, the premises
having been taken for a different class of business.
Beyond the usual intimations requiring limewashing of
premises and removal of garbage from time to time, the premises
were found to be well conducted.
SLAUGHTER Off ANIMALS ACT 1933,
There are eighteen persons licensed by the Council as fit
persons to slaughter animals in the district as compared with
twenty in the previous year.
No 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.
