Environmental watchdogs have closed —
for a second time — a cattle incineration plant in Glasgow
because it has been breaching pollution regulations
The incinerator, run by Sacone Environmnetal at Carntyne,
reopened in December after being shut down for 3 months for
breaching the terms of its licence. It is believed that a
number of BSE-infected cows have been incinerated at the plant
(Meat Trades Journal, 04 April 2002). Reopening will be allowed
only after further changes to equipment.
Our Minds are Made up; don’t bother us with......!
“Animal welfare is not a primary concern for mainstream
consumers and plays no part in the purchasing decision for
bacon, or other meats for that matter. Consumers put their
faith—and their buying decision—in the hands of
retailers. If a retailer has chosen to stock a product, the
consumer concludes that it must be safe and have been “properly
produced” (Meat Trades Journal, 26 April 2001).
“The first thing to remember when talking to the
kids about meat is don’t rabbit on about the different
cuts and why they taste different because the kids will just
lose interest. And don’t tell them that it comes from
dead animals as there is nothing that upsets a kid more,”
advises Trader, Talking Shop to butchers on Winning Over the
Kids (Meat Trades Journal, 29 November 2001).
