UK: FSA proposes CCTV in slaughterhouses
The UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) has advocated the use of cameras and closed circuit television (CCTV) in slaughterhouses in an attempt to prevent animal welfare violations.
The FSA's director of operations, Andrew Rhodes, has proposed the voluntary introduction of surveillance cameras after secret filming carried out by animal rights group Animal Aid last year suggested that abuse was taking place in a small number of British slaughterhouses.
