London Experts Urge End To Five Day Dispute
London experts warn that Britain may face mass slaughter of livestock and poultry if the dock strike isn’t settled within five days. Thousands of tons of feed lie blocked, risking gassing and burial for up to 10 million chickens and many pigs.

Prices at home remain stable but could rise if slaughter occurs.
