What the petition asks
Consumers have a right to know if the meat they are purchasing has been stunned to render the animal insensitive before exsanguination.
Until this information is clearly displayed, consumers are not able to purchase in a manner which allows them to make choices based on animal welfare.
Until this information is clearly displayed, consumers are not able to purchase in a manner which allows them to make choices based on animal welfare.
There is a clearly recognised animal welfare issue in non-stun slaughter. Consumers should have the information which enables them to make a welfare based choice.
