Plan to end long journeys to slaughter for livestock
Transporting animals on long journeys for slaughter could be banned, under animal welfare plans unveiled by the Conservative party.
Under the move, livestock would have to be sent to the closest abattoir - effectively banning most live exports.The move will be one of a number of measures on animal welfare to be discussed at the Tory party.Environment Secretary Theresa Villiers said the proposals would"choke off" the live exports trade.
She said:"We have a long tradition of protecting animals in this country, often many years before others follow. Leaving the EU allows us to take even bigger steps forward on this. "The measures we are announcing today will protect our animals in our homes, in agriculture, and in the wild."making micro-chipping for cats compulsory
