Your Say: EU CAN'T BE CRUEL

NOT for the first time it seems there's one rule for us and another for other EU countries, this time in the area of the humane slaughter of animals.

We have stringent regulations in this country requiring all animals to be stunned before slaughter to avoid unnecessary suffering. But a recent investigation by Compassion in World Farming shows that in Greece this practice is ignored - some animals are slaughtered while fully conscious.

It is a travesty that Greece has taken presidency of the EU when it so blatantly ignores EU legislation.

I will be writing to the Greek Embassy about this and encourage others to do the same.
