Out of sight...out of mind...
Scotland for Animals are conducting a campaign to get CCTV into all abattoirs in Scotland by law – and we need your help. Don’t worry – it’ll only take a minute of your time but it will make a big difference to the 900 million animals slaughtered in abattoirs every year in the UK.
Look to your right on this page and see just some of the deliberate cruelty filmed in our slaughterhouses. We really can't stress how urgently we need to act.
Undercover investigations repeatedly produce footage of animals being beaten, stabbed, burned, electrocuted and enduring terror during the killing process. Earlier this year 9 abattoirs were chosen at random and monitored by our colleagues at Animal Aid – serious and repeated breaches of welfare laws were recorded on film in 8 of them.
UK slaughterhouses are an unchecked free-for-all. This cannot go on.
What you can do:
Write to your MSPs asking for them to support a legal amendment in order to make CCTV mandatory in all of Scotland's slaughter areas
Order our free CCTV campaign materials for your workplace, school, library etc.
Ask your family, friends and contacts to get involved.
You can ask your MSP to take action – write to them by clicking (here). There’s no point in us asking you to cut and paste a letter as these get deleted as spam. But don’t let that stop you. Send a short email in your own words expressing:
I am fully in support of Scotland for Animals’ campaign to amend the law to ensure CCTV is installed in all of Scotland’s slaughterhouses.
I ask that as my MSP you do all in your power to ensure that legislation is brought into effect to make legal obligation for the killing process in every slaughterhouse in our country to be monitored by CCTV at all stages.
That you wish to see Scotland for Animals and other highly informed animal welfare agencies (e.g SSPCA) on board to advise and give support.
We know this is a lot to ask of you when everyone has hectic schedules these days. But we only have a small window of opportunity here to make this happen.
If you're not a Scottish resident you can still ask the Scottish Government to bring in legislation by contacting First minister Alex salmond here: FirstMinister@scotland.gsi.gov.uk
Please support us – a Scottish charity. Many animal welfare organisations take funds from Scotland’s citizens but they do absolutely no work up here, nor do they have a clue as to how our Parliamentary system works.
We desperately need funds to make this campaign effective. Please consider making an urgent donation to this campaign – no matter how small. Every penny will go directly towards this – SFA is staffed entirely by volunteers. We take no wages, no expensive offices to run and no staff perks. This ensures 100% of donation goes straight to the 'front line'. Thank you.
Let’s make 2013 the year that slaughter stopped being out of sight, out of mind

Scotland for Animals is completely staffed by unpaid volunteers and receives no Government, lottery, etc. funding. We rely entirely on donations and time given to us by supporters.
We're a grassroots campaigning charity, your charity so if you can donate some time to help in our campaigns no matter how small contact info@scotlandforanimals.org
