Sawicki on Ritual Slaughter: It's Not Just About Poultry Farms, It's a System of Interconnected Vessels

It's not just about the farms producing this poultry, but it's also about the entire feed industry, it's about producers of grains, corn, wheat; it's truly a system of interconnected vessels. If we cut off one branch, others will collapse. That is why I am in favour of seeking positive solutions. Certainly, my Koalicja Polska club will not vote for the PiS project in the formula you have now proposed, but I am pleased that you promise it will be sent to committee. I want to say this: concerning fur animals, there is indeed a global trend, it needs to be humanized, it needs to be abandoned. But abandoned in a civilised manner. We cannot tell entrepreneurs, who only half a year ago were investing, that in a year's time, we couldn't care less about you. Please. A ten-year transitional period to phase out production or ten years of compensation for lost profits, and then we can talk about consensus on this matter – Marek Sawicki said during the first reading of the so-called "Five for Animals".
