(Belga) To prevent a large-scale culling of pigs, the British government wants to bring up to 1,000 slaughterhouses from abroad to the UK this year under comfortable conditions. Sky News TV and the Daily Mail reported.
As a result of Brexit, the British are facing a serious shortage of thugs. As a result, pigs ready for slaughter are stuck en masse on farms, and according to the British Pig Farmers Association (NPA), the culling of up to 120,000 pigs is threatened due to a lack of space. So far, 6,000 healthy animals have already suffered this fate, and if a solution is not found soon, 10,000 healthy pigs per week will soon be culled, she says. The British government has already tried to alleviate the shortage of workers from Eastern Europe in the transport and poultry sectors, with more flexible visas for foreign workers. Now there will also be exceptions for up to 1,000 butchers. For example, the government can temporarily relax the requirements for knowledge of the English language when applying for visas. (Belgium)
