2016.01 CRUELTY FREE MEAT
Whereas #1 the current extreme cruelty to Canadian factory farmed animals at all stages: handling and living conditions, transportation to slaughter and slaughter itself, is unacceptable in a civilized society, and is a stain on the reputation of Canada; therefore be it

a. legislate humane handling and living conditions, transportation and slaughter for factory farmed animals with specific instructions about each of these stages
b. strictly enforce the legislation.
Resolved #3 that NCWC urge all Councils of Women to work with their respective Governments to:
a. legislate humane handling and living conditions, transportation and slaughter for factory farmed animals with specific instructions about each of these stages
