Slaughterhouses across England to have compulsory CCTV
All slaughterhouses in England will be fitted with compulsory CCTV under a government proposal to crackdown on cruelty amid concerns about the mistreatment of animals. The Food Standards Agency vets will have unrestricted access to footage of all areas containing livestock, officials said. Slaughterhouses violating the welfare standards could face a criminal investigation or lose staff licences.
