it is either them or me, and i choose them!

Itoo eat meat, but if I had to kill it myself i would be on fish only!

its just chickens ...

are you going to feel sorry for the cod or sardines as well ??

No i thought the programme was intresting and ok i will admit it did freak me out a little at first. But i thought the slaughter process was fast, efficent and didn't distress the animals before the slaughter. Meat is tasty and i wouldn't stop eating meat because i saw how the animals we eat are killed. You knew this all along, but never watched it before, so whats the difference?

It is what you do if you want to eat that kind of protein.
It is not that shocking if you think about the people who live in the jungles, they have to catch, kill and cook to survive, it is a natural instinct.
The decision to not eat meat is primarily a moral one.

Last nights episode was pretty bad
it was sly on the pigglets lol

At least they slaughter the animals quickly and humanely. My husband works for a firm that deals with weights and measures and sometimes has to go to slaughterhouses. He says that what they show on the TV isn't half of it.

That's why we only buy organic food from local farms that are slaughtered on site. It's not much but it's the best that I can do at the moment.

Hi
Skywise is right, my son in law worked at a slaughter house and he say's what was portrayed on the telly was a joke, can you imagine the screams alone that come from a slaughter house ?

I think it is sensationalism. There are some aspects of life that are unpleasant, but it does not mean we should give up meat because they show slaughterhouse scenes on TV.

I grew up with chickens in the back yard and was wringing their necks by the time I was ten. I also learnt to shoot (rabbits mostly with the odd hare, pheasant, duck, pigeon and hare) and to fish. Everything was eaten or frozen to be eaten later and nothing was wasted.
It would be easy for me to call meat eaters who could not bear to kill their own food weak but my two of my three sisters could'nt even contemplate it whilst the third quite happily dismembers anything in the kitchen.
I believe it is a matter for personal choice and conscience whether or not to eat meat but I do believe the welfare of the animals needs more attention as some are cruelly treated before death and this unneccessary.
They are not THINGS.

veg....

I do not think that slaughtering an animal in what is basically a TV studio is really anything like a real slaughterhouse, but I don't think that is the point of the programme. So many nowadays have no idea where our food comes from - be it meat or veg. It does not just appear magically in a can or carton. I think the programme is good in the respect of showing the meat comes from a real animal.

I watched last night's one with the piglets. I thought it might bother me, but it didn't. And it will not put me off, but turning folk veggie isn't the point, either. It is just highlighting something that happens everyday to feed us, but something we know happens but just don't think about much.

I'm off for a bacon roll now!!
