I did get emotional in the next segment, a retired vet who worked the big farms started up his own small holding where he kept 50 chickens, and he talked through the process all the way through to death. Then he killed a chicken by stunning it and then severing the spinal cord thus instantaneous death. I must admit my eyes welled up at that.

It was the rawness of what he did so that he could have meat for dinner. We all know that the meat is killed for us, but we take it for granted about the process and we kind of blank it out that the animal is killed for us.

Its certainly made me think about it, i think I'll watch the whole program on iplayer, quite thought provoking.
I would not worry Thor. 5G is going to be a very effective way of genocide. We won't need to worry about meat then.

Bloody hell, if they could come up with a system to capture all that, plug it into the House of Commons. That lot could fuel us for years.

Put a hot air balloon above the cow shed and let the methane waft into it.
