CALL FOR CCTV IN ABATTOIRS

THE Australian Alliance for Animals has called on the country's pork and meat processing industries to support the mandatory use of CCTV in abattoirs to ensure animal welfare standards are upheld.
 
The open letter, jointly signed by the alliance's member organisations and addressed to Australian Pork Limited and the Australian Meat Industry Council, comes in the wake of footage aired on the ABC’s 7.30 program showing pigs being lowered into CO2 gas chambers.
 
The UK, Israel, Spain and several local jurisdictions in Europe have introduced CCTV as a regulatory requirement, while it is already mandatory in Queensland for facilities that slaughter horses.
