Kill it cook it eat it You seen it?

So the electric shock doesnt make them unconscious? I always thought it did, hence making it humane
 
Ok, i suppose, I dont want to get into a big debate about it ;) but I would have classed it more as a programme about where food came from rather than a cooking programme.

I can understand that, it just seems a horrible way to go.
 
watching this at the moment. not sure if i want to watch the killing bit but hey. the lamb (baby) does look very tender and yummy
 
It's far to dragged out and far to biased. Oh look at that cute little fluffy animal.
It's no different killing a baby anything than an adult anything..

If you can't kill your own meat then you shouldn't eat it.
 
The presenter is just trying to provoke debate, each and every program is the same except slight differences in way the animal is put to death, I think the whole series of programs is just drawn out drivel.

Credit where its due though, it must be a hard job to attend everyday, and those knives are crazy sharp.
 
Most of the time it's a bolt fired into the animals brain from a bolt gun used to kill the animal, death is pretty much instant and they feel very little. I've been watching this programme and i can't say the process bothers me although i've been brought up around this sort of thing. I've found the process very interesting and much of the ideas raised enlightening, i will certainly look for British reared veil to try some next time i go shopping.

Used to. Didn't kill any, asked but you have to have some serious certification before you can get anywhere near that knife, I mainly just cut the legs of and pushed carts about. It was a bit bizzar the first day, but never had any problems with it.

Was your experience at all like we see it on TV? I'd imagine standards weren't so high the further back we go, I'd also imagine after 100s of slaughters you wouldn't be so considerate towards the animal, you'd be in more of a rush. I know you say you didn't kill anything, but I imagine you saw a lot.
 
there killed a lot lot faster and so it's not one in at a time. they also squeak there heads of. They know what's going to happen. Still killed fast though, all highly trained. It's more shocking what happens after there dead.
 
What with this and the Hugh F-W chicken program, I definately feel that people should be a little more careful about the meat they buy. I know that free range / organic meat is more expensive, but I feel it is worth it for the taste and if I have to, I just buy less.

I know that this is mis-quoting some one who said it much better than this, but why spend £50 on a pair of jeans that do not become a part of you, but skimp on food that does.

BTW, I am told that the Jamie Oliver program on chicken this week is amazing and Sainsbury are reconsidering his contract, but he has stated that he won't back down from his position on this.
