Nominations for the Humane Slaughter Association’s (HSA) prestigious 2020 Humane Slaughter Award are now open.

Around the world millions of animals are transported, marketed and slaughtered every day to provide food and other resources for human benefit. Since 2010 the HSA has honoured the achievements of an individual or organisation whose work has resulted in significant advances in the welfare of farmed livestock during transport, marketing and slaughter.

The award was established to promote and recognise the important contributions and significant advances made in this field by individuals and organisations, as well as to inspire others to work in this area of animal welfare.
