slaughter

hauliers

The

The
Animal
Welfare
Act
2006
contains
the
general
laws
relating
to
animal
welfare
.
It
is
an
offence
to
cause
unnecessary
suffering
to
any
animal
.
Unlike
previous
legislation
,
the
Act
applies
to
all
animals
on
common
land
.
The
Act
contains
a

-
this
means
that
anyone
responsible
for
an
animal
must
take
reasonable

to
make
sure
the
animal

s
needs
are
met
.
Adult
cattle
must
be
restrained
in
stunning
____________________
which
is
usually
a
solid
-
sided
metal
box
with
a
vertical
sliding
door
at
one
end
to
allow
the
animal
to
enter
.
The
pen
must
have
a
device
that
restricts
the
____________________
of
the
animal's
head
to
permit
accurate
stunning
.
The
majority
of
cattle
in
the
UK
are
stunned
with
a
captive
-
bolt
____________________
.
Alternatively
,
cattle
are
stunned
using
____________________
or
stunned
and
killed
using
electricity
by
applying
an
____________________
____________________
to
the
brain
and
heart
simultaneously
.
If
using
a
captive
-
bolt
,
the
slaughter
man
stands
on
a
platform
,
in
front
or
to
one
side
of
the
pen
and
shoots
the
animal
in
the
head
between
the
eyes
and
the
ears
to
accurately
target
the
brain
.
The
pen
side
then
opens
and
the
unconscious
animal
rolls
out
of
the
pen
,
is
____________________
by
one
hind
leg
,
hoisted
on
to
an
overhead
conveyor
and
moved
to
the
bleed
area
.
Here
the
animal
is
bled
by
the
severance
of
all
major
blood
vessels
supplying
he
brain
with
oxygenated
blood
.
This
causes
rapid

The
animal
dies
from
loss
of
blood
before
it
makes
any
recovery
from
the
percussive
stun
.
