You know what disgusts me most about this. They are doing it in front of the sheep that are alive. Tell me if that is not crappy. What anxiety are they giving them and i noticed they were all watching what was happening.

Thanks for posting these pictures. The purpose of the sheep is to be slaughtered. Actually doing it ‘at home’ is more humane than shipping it to market. I hope it tasted good. It looks like it would.

makes me want to become a vegetarian and I say that seriously. My grandfather use to home kill, but he took the sheep away from the others and i remember my father sending us away so we could not see what was happening. He had a set up where he could do it properly at home. I am sure it was way more humane than what these people were doing.

The only thing I find distasteful here is the fact that the other sheep have to look on and know that their time is to come. I pity the last sheep, who must be wishing it were the first to be slaughtered. I do believe that it is kinder to animals to be born, reared and slaughtered on the farm – not in front of each other though.

I eat lamb, and if it were available/accurately labelled I’d be keen to have mutton too. Well, not keen .. appreciative. I was brought up on meat, and still enjoy it. I agree that a sensitive person would not have the others there – sheep might be … well, they ARE … stupid, but they’d have an accurate idea of what is happening. People who drink cows’ milk don’t know that the cows grieve fortheir dead companions/babies … it is quite clear that they smell the blood if another cow dies, and they certainly bellow for their calves. We need to ask ourselves whether our lives are led with such virtue that we deserve the death of those animals inorder to continue our lives … I can’t say that I am always worthy. Laziness and habit will take me back to the butcher’s shop, though. Thank you for this grim reminder.

BTW – anyone who thinks that the meat they eat did not know, when it wa alive, that it was in a place where other animals were being killed, is fooling themselves. In my opinion, most sheep, beef animals, horses, etc, that I’ve been around when they were being slaughtered, except the first in line, knew very well what was coming. Except our rabbits. We killed them well away from where the others’cages were. They were never allowed to roam free onto that particular area of the yard.

Also, these blokes, rough though they may be, are not like the disgusting slime who took to pigs with iron bars recently.

I came back to read the other notes. I am unsure. I think it’s best to give animals as good a life as you can while you are responsible for them. What happens afterward is not good but is necessary. My humble opinion – as someone who knows cattle. And pigs in the past. Chickens a few.
