Subject: RE: Entertainment & Alcohol Licence ? UK
You are right Paul people should have a right to "lice" where they want, however I was thinking more of avoiding in pig parasites such as Cysticercus Cellulosae and Echinococcus Granulosus, rather than pig Pediculi.
But seriously, as Doug states "Picking and choosing which laws you will obey is the road to anarchy", food hygiene and meat inspection legislation is there for a reason. For example the reduction of the two parasites, in humans, mentioned above is mainly due to good legislation and efficient meat inspection.
I for one would not want to go back to the situation where anyone, that wanted to, was permitted to slaughtering an animal for consumption by others, without some trained person examining the carcase and associated offal.
I have spent over 40 years attempting to improve hygiene standards and detecting problems that could affect human health from meat and offal.
According to the some of the previous posts I have wasted my time!
I hope not.
