It is mandatory to be a member to have livestock processed at the salt spring abattoir.
Members will also be able to have a say in how the facility is run by voting at the AGM.
Benefits of having a local abattoir include:
- Animal agriculture helps us meet our climate goals by supplying local food. Ruminant animals help sequester carbon in the soil and improve soil health for future generations while omnivores like chickens and pigs reduce food waste
- Keeps local animal agriculture possible by reducing farmer’s costs both in time and money spent on transporting animals
- Local processing helps keep food costs down
- Provides local employment
- Local food is better for the environment and provides food security in uncertain times & climate disasters
- Our local abattoir makes it less stressful for the animals as they spend less time in transport
Please support the abattoir by becoming a member today and help keep animal agriculture on Salt Spring Island!
