If you want to eat them you have to kill them first. Many of us like to pretend they don't know where meat comes from and just get on with eating it.

Animals are here to eat, if god did not want us to eat animals he would not have made them of meat.

Thats true. Its still a shock actually seeing how they are slaughtered. I know they do it as humanely as possible but its still a shock. No many people will have seen inside a slaughterhouse.

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

Well gonna agree with Neil. Besides which I still maintain that if starving whatever your likes or dislikes on food they will eat meat after killing gutting and skinning it

. Doesnt matter if its a little clucker out of a pen or egg

a rabbit (great roasted

) or some mooer that has become no good for milk we still eat it. At least we dispatch them humanelly in this country unlike some that could be mentioned.

Now I only buy free range chicken and eggs. I know not everyone will change their opinion, but I feel like I'm doing my bit.

I feel that all chickens and indeed all livestock should be allowed to live their lives out in the fresh air and not be cooped up (excuse the pun) as they are. They don't have long on this planet as it is, so what little time they have should be as free as possible.

Here, here, this has been mentioned before on here when the programme first aired, the programme shocked a lot of people......i`ve been vegetarian for 19 years and would`nt touch any egg thats not free range and have`nt done for years.......try to use frre range farm shops when i can.

I dont know because i dont buy eggs!

SPUGGIE J · 08-09-2008, 14:21

2 fried eggs 3 rashers of bacon 2 sausage mushrooms tattie scone a fried tom fried bread. Now the question is "what else tasty can I add?"

polly · 08-09-2008, 18:53

I thought the opposite, that egss were getting bigger! Well the 'large' ones seem to be. Makes you feel very sorry for the hens, free range or not!

Slightly off topic, but I have found a farm in the Ribble Valley that sells eggs at just 1 pound a dozen, compared with the Co op and their 1.43 a half dozen!! Shows you that someone is making a profit al9ong the line
