The industry’s supply chain has been severely disrupted and in some cases halted, with suppliers unable to move chicken products and other food items across the country.
Breitenbach said the poultry industry condemned in the strongest terms the spree of violence, looting and destruction of infrastructure, which would have a lasting impact on all South Africans. “Storage capacity for frozen product at our members operations is limited, with no way of accessing frozen outside storage. To add to the challenges, the ability to move animal feed to poultry farms and other livestock sectors has been severely disrupted, especially in KwaZulu-Natal.
“This can lead to a massive animal welfare issue for the industry. Day-old poultry stock that could not be moved to farms across the country for placement has had to be euthanised,” he added. These acts of violence, lawlessness and looting were endangering the poultry sector that is key to food security in SA, an industry whose finances were already under enormous pressure due to high input costs, the impact of Covid-19 and hard lockdowns, and recently the bird flu outbreak, Breitenbach said.
Just say they killed them.
Why euthanize though, couldn't they be given to the poor and hungry people? I also saw the milk trucks getting rid of fresh milk yesterday🙆♀️
