UK - The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has expressed its concern that almost two-thirds of food companies have no information on their commitment to stunning animals before slaughter – with only four per cent having a “universal commitment”.The findings were published in the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare report (BBFAW, published 27 January) and also show that slaughter without pre-stunning is the only welfare measure showing a decline in the percentage of food companies that have a specific policy on the practice, down from 34 per cent in 2014 to 32 per cent in 2015.

　　英国兽液碍会(BVA)表示感到担忧，三分之二的公司没有任何在屠宰前击晕牲畜的允诺信息，惟独四分之一的公司有一个”笼统的允诺”。这个发明被发表在《农场动物福利业务基准报告》(BBFAW，一月27日发表)，同时也表示屠宰预先击晕才是唯独的福利措施。这项措施表明在实际屠宰中有击晕特别政策的食品公司数目在下降，从2014年的34%到2015年的32%。
