Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 3272 of 2003).

These Regulations amend the Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Regulations 1995. The amendment to Schedule 1 requires a person whose licence has been suspended or revoked to surrender the licence to the Food Standards Agency. The amendment to Schedule 4 shortens the time that birds can be suspended before being stunned or killed. The amendments to Schedule 6 remove the requirement that certain animals are not bled within sight of any other such animals. The amendment to Schedule 9 permits the use of pneumatic or cartridge operated percussive devices producing immediate death for the slaughter or killing of birds for the purpose of disease control.
