Loss of a small poultry farm and abattoir
If we value high welfare and local food, we need to value small abattoirs. This film shares the story of Robert Whitwam who runs a chicken farm in Huddersfield. Robert prides himself on the welfare of his animals and the fact they are slaughtered on-farm. He supplies 30 local shops and businesses with his home-reared chickens, all within 18 miles of the farm. When the birds are ready for slaughter, they are taken a matter of yards, rather than miles, across the yard to the on-farm abattoir and processed as quickly and humanely as possible.
