Treating animals humanely throughout their lives, including at the end, is essential for improving animal welfare.
Animal welfare at slaughter remains one of the most challenging and overlooked areas. Practices vary enormously across the world, and the gap between what is possible and what is actually happening on the ground can be vast. The HSA exists to close that gap through evidence-based research, hands-on training and influence over policy and best practice.
