Show Rules Governing Killing Of Beef Issued By OPA OPA has ruled that every person in the U. S, who slaughters and delivers to others, even so much as one animal of the sort listed in the OPA meat restriction order of October 1st cattle, sheep, hogs and lambs is subject to the restriction re-striction of the order and its penalties pen-alties in case of violations. Farmers Farm-ers who slaughter animals only for their own use are exempt from the regulation, the purpose of which is to limit delivery of meat from these animals to Civilians so that there shall be enough for the fighting forces of the United States and its allies. Everyone, from the country butcher or the farmer who slaughters slaugh-ters meat for others, to the largest larg-est packing houses, must keep records of all slaughter for delivery de-livery to others and make them available to OPA inspectors. False statements of the number of animals ani-mals slaughtered and delivered, or other violations of the order, subject the offenders to fines up to $10,000 or 10 years in jail or both. |
