§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on how many occasions in each of the last three years his inspectors have supervised, examined or monitored the slaughter of farmed mink by injection.
§ Mr. MacleanOfficers of the state veterinary service monitored the slaughter of mink by injection once in 1988 and once in 1989. At the visits to fur farms so far in 1990, at which slaughter was observed on four occasions, the method used was gassing rather than injection.
