We all know it happens, thats how meat gets in the shops, some gory sceens but thats what happens.
I'll still be eating meat, if we wern't meant to eat meat it would not taste so good. My better half will not watch it at all as she doesn't want to see it. |

Animals should be stunned before their throat is slit.

Re: killing baby animals LIVE on tv
I had a conversation about this very subject yesterday in work. I've not seen the program but understand from the trailers what is going on.
What it comes down to is the disassociation from what is bought in the supermarket and what runs around on a farm. I personally have no problems with any animal being slaughtered for food provided it is not subjected to excessive suffering. And I would have no problem what so ever in doing the job myself. Having not seen the program can someone explain the aim of it, is it to stop people eating meat? Is it to do with animal welfare? Or is it just to educate the masses as to what happens in the real world? |

Every time you eat meat, something has to die.

The program takes you through the whole animals life with emphasis on the slaughter. Inside a slaughterhouse they put a screen all the way down the middle so the public could walk along and see each stage in to process. After showing the animal and whereabouts it has come from; they walk it in and show you the kill, the draining of the blood, disembowelment, the skin being peeled off and the cutting in to specific cuts. After this there's a butcher who prepares the meat and a chef who cooks it for the public who just watched that animal be killed. The idea is that we have disassociated meat with an actual animal; and that we should understand the orgins of the meat and respect it. It's a rebellion against the common gorging (myself included) of expecting to eat meat every day.
It's a really good program; well worth a watch. Especially if it makes you squeamish as that's who it's aimed at educating! |
