Footprints, I have a neighbour who uses that method. I have to say I wasn't at all comfortable watching it - it just seemed to take forever. You definitely have to bleed the chicken, though, otherwise the meat is a very odd colour. I just prefer the animal to be dead before I do it, even at the risk of not bleeding it out quite as efficently. |
I know of a home killed bullock(when it was allowed) that had a load of meat spoil because it had been killed too quickly, and didn't bleed out properly.
To vegetarians, these details must disgust. I'm not a vegetarian and I'm not happy.
There are other things though that I class as cruel and unnecessary.
For example. Scottish beef commands a premium. So, cattle are sent from our part of the world to live in Scotland for a few weeks, so that they can be killed and legally marketed as Scottish beef. Perhaps this view is a litle simplistic, but to me it seems that a little more suffering is inflicted in the name of a few pence more per kilo.
Could long distance live transport be stopped? Yes, it will probably happen around the time that the french stop force feeding the geece for pate. |
