"The report on the protection of animal welfare, though it does not deal with the issue of reducing animal transport to eight hours – an issue for which I have fought – since it will be dealt with in an appropriate document at a later stage, is balanced on the whole and so I voted in favour. Particular attention has been paid to abuses of derogations to allow un-stunned slaughter in the EU, a practice that I find unacceptable in civilised countries, as does the note calling on the Commission to accelerate its evaluation on the labelling of meat obtained from these animals. The Commission is also called upon to improve the welfare of farm animals and to ensure that good animal husbandry is adopted in the knowledge that a better quality of life for animals often leads to a better quality of the product that ends up on consumers’ tables. Classic examples of this are cattle led to pasture instead of being shut up in cattlesheds or free-range laying hens instead of battery hens. I also agree with the section on researching alternatives to animal testing, as such testing is technically unnecessary and more expensive."@en1
