The Meat Processing Unit (MPU) of the Department of Animal Science, School of Agriculture, has received a donation of modern slaughtering equipment  from Eyes on Animals, an animal right organisation based in the Netherlands.

Presenting the equipment, the leader of Eyes on Animals, Lesley Moffat, said all living beings have the right to peaceful life and death. She said the equipment was to assist MPU to use humane methods in slaughtering animals.  She indicated that the equipment known as stunner would lessen the pains the animals go through before being slaughtered.
