Petition launched online to end live animal export for slaughter
An increase in live animals being exported for slaughter from the Isle of Man has prompted an online protest from campaigners.
A petition is calling for a ban on live animal export for slaughter amongst claims that animals are subjected to unnecessary stress with long journey times possible.
Isle Of Man Friends Of The Earth campaigners Alison Corlett and Janet Lees say the practice is wholly unacceptable when there is a modern and efficient abattoir on the Island and if the Isle of Man is unable to rear farm animals and kill them in the most humane manner possible, it shouldn't be doing it at all.
