Farm animal welfare, Europe and the meat manufacturer

Abstract

Explores the suggestion that the UK is at the forefront of Europe with respect to animal welfare issues and looks at farm animal welfare legislation and consumer concern in the UK and Europe. Results of a survey conducted in 1992 and a follow‐up in 1994, which looked at the importance with which meat manufacturers in the UK, Germany and Switzerland, view consumer concerns for animal welfare. Concludes that the meat industry needs to develop ways in which real concerns for animal welfare can be satisfied in a manner which both reassures the consumer and brings about improvement where it is necessary.
