The Slughterhouse Options

1. The 'cold-chain' approach:

On Central slughterhouse capable of processing 100,000 chickens at a time. All dressed chickens undergo chilling.

Pros:

Low risk of contamination

Less contact between consumers and chickens than fresh-slaughtering

Cons:

More job losses

Drastic change in eating habits

2. Freshly slaughtered approach:

All live poultry killed and dressed at regional slaughterhouses.

Pros:

More jobs saved

No drastic change to eating habits

Cons:

More expensive than centralised slaughtering

Higher risk of contamination

Higher risk of human contact with live poultry
