National Pig Association fears ‘acute welfare disaster’ within weeks if farmers unable to get stock processed
The UK is on course for an “acute welfare disaster” as a shortage of butchers could lead to a mass cull of animals nationwide, according to the chairman of the National Pig Association.
Rob Mutimer said a mass cull may be needed in a matter of weeks as farmers are unable to get stock to be processed due to staff shortages in the supply chain.
