Private Investigator Leeds Comments on the Recent Investigations into Illegal Slaughter Practices
(PRWEB UK) 13 May 2014 -- The BBC revealed in their article on 4th March 2014 "llegal meat' investigation in County Armagh welcomed by UFU" that police were investigating suspected illegal slaughter practices in County Armagh. The police operation focused on properties in the Forkhill area. A search was also carried out in Bessbrook, but the police confirmed that no suspicious activity was taking place in that location. The UFU president Harry Sinclair welcomed this police action against rural crime in the BBC article. The investigation was still in the early stages and Sinclair stated that ‘we still don’t know the scale of this operation’. He added that farmers had been in contact with police for some time regarding rural crime in the area. Sinclair provided his support to the police in this investigation and said it was ‘good now to see action taking place. The BBC article also revealed that other organisations had been involved in coordinating the investigation including the Food Standards Agency and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD). This cross-departmental and cross-agency response was welcomed by the UFU. The BBC article also provided input from local councillor Terry Hearty, who stated that illegal meat entering the local industry was a cause of concern for everyone. He commented that it was difficult to know ‘what conditions might exist’ in illegal abattoirs. Hearty was keen to highlight the fact that the Farm Quality Assured scheme was well-supported in the area and that this did provide a quality, high standard source of meat for the local industry.

It can be too easy for criminals to infiltrate legitimate industries. This can cast a shadow over the whole industry, damaging the reputation of everyone involved, even those that are innocent.

By cutting corners and deliberately avoiding their responsibilities, criminals could potentially save huge amounts of money.
