Lewis Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I watched the cattle one this morning and thought it was really interesting ... have set it to record later, should be interesting what they make of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 So far i've only see the cattle one too as none of my family are interested so am watching them on iplayer when i get time. I found it really interesting and has made me think more about supermarket meat. We tend to get a lot of our meat from a farm shop so its local and on a smaller scale, however we buy organic mince from the supermarkets as the farm shop doesn't seem to sell it. Its got me thinking about how those animals are slaughtered as well as reared. Definately interesting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 We've watched all 3 so far. It is very interesting and certainly makes you think about where you buy your meat from and if you need to eat it. I found the pig one last night quite upsetting, as I'm not convinced the pigs were stunned enough before they were hung up. The killing shown is on a small scale only 2 pigs in together it must be far worse in a larger abbatoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 We've been watching these as well, have only seen cattle and lambs, have recorded the other 2 and not watched them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just watching the Chicken episode - they're big chickens! The whole programme is really interesting and goog to hear about other peoples points of view - I think I agree a lot with Phoebe, the 'country girl', and that if you want to eat meat, you should be prepared to kill it and see it being done. I think James, the vegan man, has a really closed mind, and that you should leave an animal in pain to die naturally. I love animals but know that they have to be killed at some point otherwise they wouldn't exist in the first place - each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
