Inspection of foreign cattle at the Metropolitan Cattle Market, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Inspection of foreign cattle at the Metropolitan Cattle Market, [Copenhagen-fields, London], 1865. The importance of exercising a strict supervision over the sanitary state of these cattle...has lately occupied much of the public attention...Mr. Gibbins [chairman of the Markets Committee, Corporation of London] and Mr. Rudkin...[inspected] the cattle market at Islington, and visited the several slaughter-houses. Here a number of cows were found in a very bad state of disease, and they were immediately seized and condemned by the officer. The market itself was also inspected, and the attention of the inspector was called to about forty cows which had been sent to the market from a dairy at the west end of London, among which were several in a diseased condition. The inspector, acting under the powers vested in him, ordered the whole number to be immediately destroyed, so as to prevent the spread of the disease. The Markets Committee have made a report on the desirability of establishing hospitals or sanatoriums...to which diseased cattle may be removed...[and] may there receive proper medical treatment with a view to their ultimate recovery. There is a strong feeling among the cattle salesmen...in favour of the establishment of such places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865
