Abuse of pigs in abbatoir

[markjay]

back up north via the M1 presumably?...

Nope, down south in London...

As a very small aside to animal abuse which is absolutely rank. The workers should be fired for smoking in the workplace. That must be a breach of their company rules.

Smoked ham is more authentic with ash clinging to its sides.

Amid all this, I would have to say that those that work in an abattoir are not going to be too caring and considerate towards others. to be able to do what they do, you definitely need to be emotionally detached to an extent.

I know someone that has worked there since he left our school and he is very emotionally detached, in fact the job is probably a great release for him....

Actually, some years ago one of our kids found a baby ferret in our garden, nice RSPCA lady attended and took it away... not before we took some pictures of it with the kids.

Ferrets are deemed domesticated rather than wild animals.

When I've contacted them about birds and various wild mammals they didn't want to know.

i say use the stun guns on them lets beat them with bats and eat them after lol

All that ham and bacon may improve your punctuation.

Have you ever tried contacting the RSPCA with regard to a wild animal that you have rescued or that may need help ? Yes and they came out to assist - it was a wild pheasant.

Have you ever asked them for details of other charites or volunteers in your area that may be able to help when they can't or won't ? No because I am perfectly able to do that myself.

Have you ever tried to contact them for urgent assistance out of hours ? Yes, I visited an RSPCA centre out of hours and interupted a meeting to get help with a Swan on a large roundabout who might be run over or cause a crash.

A few years ago I was driving up Leeds Road at 1-15 in the morning when a four wheel drive full of partying youth passed me. An owl swooped out of Chevin woods and I saw it hit the front side of their car. I stopped (as I have a taxidermy habit), thinking an owl would be quite an addition to the collection and they are much too beautiful to leave in the road. I put her in the boot, she was a mature tawny with the most gorgeous feet.



A few miles later there was a bit of a kerfuffle in the boot and I rang the RSPCA and was diverted to the 24 hour vet. The RSPCA said they would cover any costs.Removing the owl was a skilled task involving tea-towels and the vet's assistant crawling into the boot from the passenger compartment. She (the owl) was examined and found to be whole but concussed, we transferred her to the RSPCA Bird specialists in Bradford and waited for her to start eating.



Three days later I got the call to say she was fit for release, I gathered a selection of nieces and nephews and we set off for the woods. We had been advised to set her box down in a shady spot, open the lid keeping our faces back and to wait for dusk.
She was in no hurry, we waited nearly an hour, it really was dusk when she flew, a silent brown explosion of movement, only a small shuffling noise as warning. Three beats and a soundless glide down towards the Otley road, low to the ground then a swoop up into the oaks. Gone.

Is an abbatoir a place where they kill pigs by making them listen to 1970's pop music?

If so, I agree that it is totally inhumane.....................
