Attitude and outlook of butchers, etc

ATTITUDE AND OUTLOOK OF BUTCHERS

• The butchers, livestock, meat and hide traders generally are not ready to accept for any improvement in relation to slaughter process, slaughterhouse and related matters.
• They constitute a conservative hostile group to anything new which they consider to be a nuisance. They also intended to think that such tightening control over their industry may check their income or increase their losses if they accept centralized slaughter and to work according to strict hygienic measures.
• In such conditions new slaughterhouses and a tightening up of hygienic control may be resented.
