alex3659 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 BUY BRITISH and you wont have this problem. ie; most bacon from supermarkets comes from belgium so dont be fooled. Woolley's is in Sheffield the last time I heard that was "BRITISH". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNRV Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 my dad is doing some building work up there and he says they are treat good, if there is no time to slaughter them they are bedded down in pens with hay and fed and watered and has seen them slaughter and has said it is humanly as it can be. Unfortunatly if you like meat and want to eat it this is what you have to live with, they are slaughtered, not saying they should be mistreated before hand and i like to think (for my piece of mind) that they are humanly, as possible, killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hello1964 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 All major supermarkets are now insisting on cctv in these hellholes. Yes, conditions are disgusting.And that is a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annina Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I used to be the canteen manageress at Wooley Bros,my husband was a driver,fetching livestock from market,and two of my offspring worked in the holding pens. I can honestly say that the animals were always treated with the greatest respect,in fact better than I was treated recently in A@E recently. The animals were brought in,put into nice, clean pens,well fed and watered,and a Vet on call 7-24. The slaughtermen,while a rough and ready lot,were very sensative of the feelings of livestock,indeed,once after killing a cow with a calf inside her by misake,were all in tears. I have to say though,the Hal Al butcher that visited once a week was hated for the way that he slaughtered his quota. Nuf said on that subject!! For anyone who eats meat but has twinges of conciense about the killing side of things,I once ,by mistake, witnessed the slaughter of some cattle. The notion that they sense fear is rubbish,the cows lined up in the alley were as calm as if they were waiting to be milked,and when they were killed,it happened so fast that the next in line seemed to be unaware of their fate . I hope that this will make you carnivores feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time I think it is difficult to be sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that, the camera footage of other abbatiors in our country does not reflect that sort of concern or care, the animals are supposed to be treated with dignity and respect. Not everyone choses to be vegetarian so it is important to some of us to know that animals are treated well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
