The thing is that was done on tv so its going to be made to look humane, what really happens in slaughterhouses? I doubt the animals are treated with the same respect

I think you will find that they are......A slaughterman has to have a licence to operate and any infringement bring severe penalties.
Regular visits by RSPCA Officers ensure rules are observed.
The Slaghterhouse also has to be registered with resident Meat Inspector.

Lipitor and a consultation with a good arterio-vascular surgeon ... I can recommend Dr. Zelt at Kingston General.

Yum yum. I love offal - even knowing what lamb's fries are.

I generally buy my eggs at Sainsburys. I buy free-range and either large or very large. Medium look very small compared to them and I don't know what "ordinary" must be like but I guess they're tiny.

When I was growing up we kept hens. For a while one of my brothers kept hens in battery cages but it didn't last long as it was too cruel and he hated it so they went back to their free-range life. We had a big hen-run and my dad kept a pile of rotting wood in one corner of the run. Every couple of weeks he turned the pile over and the hens used to run like the clappers to eat the creepy-crawlies, worms, spiders etc. We had quite a lot of customers for the eggs but, for a number of years, I could not be persuaded to eat them.

We never ate the hens either. How can you eat something that has run over your feet and clucked at you when you dished out the hen-food?

I think you're right, Willow.

Battery eggs are bound to be small with a poor insipid yolk.

If I'd had them reomoved as a lamb, I wouldn't have gotten myself into so much trouble in my life

The last free range eggs we got from our friends had the most gorgeous bright yellow yolks and were of a fair size, they have also rescued some battery hens and the longer they have had them free range, the better and bigger the eggs have got.....
