About
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Concerns about the humane handling and slaughter of livestock have grown; for ex., a 2009 video showed employees at a Vermont slaughter plant skinning and decapitating conscious 1-week old veal calves. The Humane Methods of Slaughter Act of 1978 (HMSA) prohibits the inhumane treatment of livestock in connection with slaughter and requires that animals be rendered insensible to pain before being slaughtered. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is responsible for HMSA. This report: (1) evaluates FSIS's efforts to enforce HMSA; (2) identifies the extent to which FSIS tracks recent trends in resources for HMSA enforcement; and (3) evaluates FSIS's efforts to develop a strategy to guide HMSA enforcement.
