From January 1st 2018 it will be mandatory for all abattoirs to install CCTV in a bid to ensure that animals to be slaughtered are treated with respect. Inhuman handling of animals was highlighted in clandestine filming by an animal rights group called L214 in several abattoirs. This week parliament has passed a law to try to end such practices by having video cameras in all such establishments. Inspections currently carried out by Ministry of Agriculture staff will include monitoring of the video records.
