MSPs have come out in support of a petition calling for mandatory CCTV to be introduced in all areas of Scotland’s 38 slaughterhouses.
Alison Johnston, MSP for the Scottish Greens, hosted a briefing in the Scottish Parliament on the proposal for mandatory CCTV and how it can be implemented to ensure Scotland leads the UK in protecting the welfare of farm animals.
So far, more than 10,000 people have signed a petition from OneKind, Animal Aid and political activists which calls for the introduction of CCTV in all areas of all slaughterhouses in Scotland.
