Britain will offer six-month emergency visas to foreign butchers to prevent a massive slaughter of pigs caused by labor shortages and market disruption, Environment Secretary George Eustice reported.
“What we are going to do is allow slaughterhouse butchers and meat processors who deal with pigs to temporarily enter under the seasonal worker scheme for up to six months,” he said.
“That will help us deal with the backlog of pigs that we currently have on farms to give meat processors the ability to slaughter more animals.”
“Crucially, we are also going to make what is called private storage aid available to help those slaughterhouses temporarily store that meat to help clear this buildup before they can put it on the market.”
