chelsea Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I just wish they would outlaw importing anything that comes from a country where they have lower welfare standards than here Mind you we would all starve as the state of the UK farming industry is so bad it couldn't sustain us Lets hope we don't have another world war anytime soon I agree.....the way some other countries treat their animals is way more shocking than welfare in Britain. Spain being one of the worst culprits. I watched a programme years ago on lambs in a spanish abattoir and it turned me vegetarian. I agree tonights programme should be shown to persuade the british public but its not for me...im WAY too sensitive....even seeing a dead rabbit on the road starts me off !!

Tom and Barbara Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 thanks for the milk tips guys, have found a farm shop not too far away where we can buy direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I get my milk from a proper old fashioned milkman who does a reliable (even in deep snow) delivery and provides a community service by collecting prescriptions for the elderly folk on his round and being an altogether really nice bloke. I feel it is important to do my bit to keep people like him in employment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom and Barbara Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 oh what a nice guy!! that is the other option we're looking in to, dave is trying to find out where the local milkman's milk comes from and what time of day they deliver (we leave for work at 6 and don't want it left in sun all day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
