Humane Slaughter Law Will Become Effective Aug. 30 Washington, (Science Serv- ice)-A new Federal humane slaughter law becomes effec tive Aug. 30. It requires pack ers selling meat to the Gov ernment to use an approved humane method of immobil izing the animals before slaughter, There are three approved methods of Immobilization. In one, animals are knocked out by carbon dioxide. i In the other two methods, electrical shock or mechan ical concussion is used to stun the animals. Animals are held in a restraining pen while an electric probe or mechan ical instrument is applied to their heads. Emerge on Conveyor Belt Cardox Division of Cheme tron Corporation, a supplier of carbon dioxide, claims the carbon dioxide system keeps hogs unconscious for about four minutes, twice the time needed for slaughtering. The heavier-than-air gas gathers at the bottom of a tunnel which is depressed In the cen ter. Animals walk into the tunnel and emerge, uncon scious, on a conveyor belt. 1 Cardox reports that in one If you wish.) Chill thoroughly.

The new law requires that animals be rendered uncon scious painlessly before before being killed. It also regulates animal handling, the construc tion of restraining pens and the training of personnel. Requirements of the law, and the techniques which have been developed for im mobilization can be used to improve the initial stages of animal dressing and, in some cases, to increase productiv ity, according to packers who have installed humane slaugh ter machinery. Spared Horrors "But infinitely more impor tant is the fact that these animals will be spared many of the horrors of the pack inghouse," said Mrs. Christine Stevens, president of the An imal Welfare Institute. Five states, California, New Hampshire, Washington, Wis consin and Minnesota, will have humane slaughter laws which become effective Aug. 30, the same date as the Fed eral law. Massachusetts re cently passed a law which will become effective Jan. 1, 1962. Generally they supple ment the Federal law and pro vide specific penalties for failure to comply. 3 .
