Blowing the whistle on the meat industry.

[llamedos]

Consumers have been exposed to meat contaminated with potentially dangerous bacteria because of poor hygiene practices and ineffective regulations in some UK abattoirs, according to a whistleblower meat inspector.

After 20 years of working in abattoirs - inspecting animal carcasses for disease and making sure safety and hygiene rules are followed - he has decided to speak out. Regular hygiene lapses, coupled with poor regulation, could lead to dirty meat getting into the food chain and endangering human health, he believes. Previously unpublished official reports obtained by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism back up many of his claims.

This is very sad, and very damaging, despite all the so-called regulations, the slaughter trade is still in the headlines..

We have only ourselves to blame, we play into the hands of our objectors.

In my view, any slaughter house that is not complying strictly to the regulations should be shut down - instantly, and the owners stopped from plying there trade again.

The fact that humans are still involved means there will always be problems, the whole thing should be automated.
