Welsh Conservatives support mandatory use of CCTV in Welsh slaughterhouses

Following the passing of regulations on The Mandatory Use of Closed-Circuit Television in Slaughterhouses (Wales), Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:

“These regulations are essential for humane treatment throughout an animal’s life.

“The Welsh Conservatives have long campaigned for mandatory use of CCTV in Welsh slaughterhouses, as it ensures transparency and protection for animals.

“It’s now essential that the Welsh Government supports the sector in installing these facilities, especially the smaller abattoirs which have suffered such economic pressure over recent years.”
