Background

From field to fork, we believe the treatment of animals should be carried out in the most humane way possible.

Additional details

We think non-stun slaughter does not meet any welfare standards and the culling of animals in this way is far from humane. By introducing taxes on non-stun slaughter products, the revenue from this could be used for research into other animal welfare projects. We feel some eateries give you very little choice but to consume non-stun slaughter meat without advertising so. If the government can put a duty of tax on tobacco products, we think they can surely do the same in regards to non-stun slaughter produce.
