Humane Slaughter Association – Statement on the Prospect of a Pig Cull in the UK
14 October 2021
The Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) is concerned by reports that a cull of pigs in the UK may be necessary because of problems in the abattoir sector which have limited its capacity to slaughter pigs. An on-farm cull poses significant potential challenges to animal welfare, and it is important that the government works with the industry to minimise these risks. The HSA’s extensive expertise in emergency killing is available to all stakeholders and we stand ready to assist with practical advice.
