Abattoirs
A studio discussion about the issues facing UK abattoirs, with Nick Allen from the British Meat Processors Association and John Fishwick from the British Veterinary Association.
Charlotte Smith chairs a discussion about the issues surrounding abattoirs in the UK, with panellists Nick Allen, chief executive of the British Meat Processors Association, and John Fishwick from the British Veterinary Association. We also hear from the campaign group, Compassion in World Farming. During the programme, the panel discusses animal welfare standards, staff shortages, new research into stunning methods, and public awareness of how meat is produced.
The programme includes a recording of an animal being slaughtered, which some listeners may find distressing.
