To intoduce effective collection, transportation and processing of proteinous waste material which would otherwise attract vultures, kites, birds and vermic
To create public awareness for safety of aircrafts
To provide wholesome and hygienic meat to the public; and
➤ To effectively utilise fallen animals slaughter houses waste, hatchery waste, poultry waste, fish market waste bones etc. to wealth from waste
5.2. On closer reading of each objective, it seems to be a device to cover up sinister design of opening slaughter houses for public
5.2.1 It is evident that such agencies can not be allowed entry within the precincts of airfields for security. Outside the boundary of air-fields, slaughter house or carcass utilisation centre have to be at least 10 km. away as per Aircraft Act 1934, Section 5 (qq) quoted below
"The prohibition of slaughtering and flaying of animals and of deposting rubbish, filth and other polluted and abnoxious matter within a readium of ten km from aerodrome reference point."
5.2.2. So far as precincts of airfields are concerned, there is no problem as no slaughtering or flaying is
done. The problem of illegal slaughtering is outside the airfields and air force authorities are unable to take action. They have to depend on police, who rarely interfare in such matters.
5.2.3. Simply by having a new slaughter house adjacent to airfields illegal/clandestine slaughter can not be checked. Moreover, setting up of slaughter house under Aircraft Act 1934 is prohibited within a radius of 10 km. As such, if any slaughter house is set up, it would infringe this Act.
5.2.4. Effective collection of proteineous waste material has not been defined. If small pieces of meat or
bones are lying over scattered areas, how they would be collected, is beyond reasoning. 5.2.5. By having a slaughter house, in what way public awareness would be created is self defeating.
Nothing has been done all these years. Hence it is only mentioned to give some kind of respectability to proposal. This has absolutely no link with setting up new slaughter house.
5.2.6 The real intention is to promote more and more killing of animals for supply of meat to public and not
for defence personnel. There is no mention about defence. In fact, by having a slaughter house in the vicinity of air field, it would jeopardise security of airfields as general public would have to be allowed entry
5.2.7. Moreover, large number of animals would have to be brought on foot or trucks and there are great chances of undesirable persons finding easy access to airfields.
5.2.8. The last one is also full of falacies. No fallen animals are available within the precincts of airfields. Beyond their own area, disposal of fallen (dead) animals contract is given by Municipal Authorities. As such no fallen animals would be available, unless successful bidding can be done.
Even Khadi Village Industries Commission had to close their Carcass Utilisation Centre in Delhi, since Municipal authorities would not give rights to KVIC but through tenders. In fact, this is a major hurdle for setting up carcass centres.
Moreover, where live animals are slaughtered, nowhere fallen animals are brought, in any of the 3600 authorised slaughter houses in the country. In Delhi, due to exhaustion and exhalation, many animals die during transportation by trucks. Not one such dead animal is allowed inside the slaughter house.
