Watched "The F Word" yesterday.
There was a scene where the calves that Janet Street-Porter had been raising were sent to the slaughterhouse. It's a family-run business and all that touchy-feely crap!
Anyway, JSP asked the question that any caring farmer would, "How will they be killed?"
The reply was that they would be killed in the most humane way possible. "We'll shoot him with a stun gun and then slit his throat while he's stunned allowing the blood to drain from the carcass."
Not overly humane really is it. I can't imagine that if euthanasia were ever legalised there would be too many people asking that their loved ones were stunned and then had their throats slit!
Let's never forget though, the main message of the exercise. Veal is tasty!
