Ravensburg (dpa / lsw) - Agriculture Minister Peter Hauk (CDU) wants, according to a media report, to have stunning systems in slaughterhouses checked by a kind of TÜV.
On Tuesday, the green-black cabinet will deal with a Federal Council initiative that Hauk wants to get on the way, as a spokesman for the minister of the "Schwäbische Zeitung" said (Tuesday).
The submission of the initiative to the Federal Council is planned for February 12.
The federal government has not yet introduced such a testing and approval process, the spokesman said.
Now Baden-Württemberg wanted to campaign for this as part of a Federal Council initiative.
The minister had come under pressure after the publication of video recordings from the Biberach slaughterhouse.
The recordings of animal rights activists show, among other things, how the killing of cattle by faulty nail guns was tortured for the animals.
At the beginning of 2018, a slaughterhouse in Tauberbischofsheim (Main-Tauber district) was closed due to animal welfare violations, and in September 2019 it hit a company in Gärtringen.
