What the petition asks
Introduce independent monitoring CCTV monitoring of all slaughter in English abattoirs with mandatory prison sentences for any abuse of animals
We are told that government inspectors monitor CCTV in abattoirs but we are not told how much footage is inspected or whether abuse of animals is prosecuted. All footage should be monitored by an independent body and all abuse should be prosecuted. Abattoirs that do not adhere to strict animal wefare guidelines should be closed
