Before i write anything on this subject i would first like to say that i know people have different opinions and i completly understand that some people may not agree with me.

I was a vegetarian for 6 years, not a long time i know but it was long enough for me to discover and act on the reason for my dislike for meat.

In school i watched several video's about animal slaughter, it was an undercover reporter who was visiting different companies and pretending to be a new worker.

I was shocked to discover how animals are killed and treated in these slaughter houses.

The problem lies with the methods used to kill the animal before preperation for butcher. It showed how many (not just one or two) but many of the animals were not dead before they were butchered.

The pigs were given a shock in the head to knock them out. They were then strung upside down by their back legs on a revolving track. The pigs are then taken to an area where they have their throats cut and legs chopped off at the knee, they should be still knocked out in this area and they are meant to bleed to death before they ever wake up.

Shockingly i watched in horror as some pigs begin to wake up while they are still on the moving track, they struggle and one actually got free and fell a meter or so onto the floor. The men around were laughing and shocked it again and again before stringing it up again.

It was awful watching this and worse still when they showed the 'new worker' into the area where all the throats were cut. These pigs were not knocked out as they were cut, even after their legs were chopped they were still squealing and wriggling upside down while the workers just carried on. How do these people sleep at night?

I like to mix up my diet
