CCTV in Slaughterhouses

This Assembly:

Joins the Food Standards Agency and animal welfare organisations in recognising the positive role that CCTV can play in protecting and monitoring animal welfare in slaughterhouses;

Notes that CCTV also provides other benefits, including acting as a security measure, acting as a tool for training for slaughter staff, vets and meat hygiene inspectors, and helping prevent workplace bullying;

Welcomes the high consumer confidence in our excellent Welsh produce, both at home and abroad; and

Believes that CCTV in slaughterhouses can play a role in safeguarding and further developing that confidence.
