| For years, we have been lobbying the authorities to have regulated and humane slaughter practices for animals like frogs and turtles. This is because the conditions that these animals are housed in are often inadequate and cramped. In addition, they are subjected to unsupervised slaughter.
In our opinion, present guidelines by the authorities do not guarantee humane treatment.

Below are the pictures taken by the SPCA at two branches of a supermarket chain in August/September 2008. |
