Block plans to repeal an array of official guidance on animal welfare standards
The government are planning to put guidelines on chicken-farming standards into the hands of the poultry industry - the plan is to revoke the code on 27 April. However, the move could weaken animal welfare standards, which are already poor and could fall under industry leaders' rule.
'In a change that has caused concern with the RSPCA, Compassion in World Farming, and opposition parties, the government has already quietly tabled a draft order to scrap the official code on farming chickens for meat and breeding.'
'However, charities are worried that the move regarding poultry could weaken animal welfare standards in farms and lead to fewer prosecutions for animal cruelty.'
