SLAUGHTER.. LIVE ON TV
EXCLUSIVE Schoolkids weep as pig is butchered, skinned
& eaten
By Jenna Sloan
LIVE animals are slaughtered in front of horrified school-
children in a new TV shocker.

Graphic scenes from BBC's Kill It, Cook It, Eat It show
smoke coming out of a pig's head as it collapses after being
electrocuted. Abattoir staff then hang the twitching animal up
by its legs and cut its throat, sending blood gushing to the floor.

Audience members including schoolkids watch behind a glass
screen and some weep as the pig is thrown into boiling water
and skinned. Earlier a film showed the same animal as a cute
piglet.

After the animal is dead, a butcher carves it up and cooks it -
and guests tuck into meat they saw alive only minutes before.
In other episodes a cow is sawn in half and a lamb's head is
cut off, in an effort to "reconnect" us with the meat we buy.

Kids' TV presenter and vegetarian Rani Smith burst into
tears as she saw blood gush from a cow's neck. Vegetarian
Society spokeswoman Liz O'Neill said: "It was upsetting."

Beef farmer Ken Howie told presenter Richard Johnson:
"I do question whether the general public needs to see that."

Another disgusted woman said: "It actually made me feel
sick seeing an animal being killed just for TV."

But BBC Three controller Julian Bellamy said: "There is a
desire to learn where the food we eat comes from and how
that food reaches our plate. It will get people talking."

KILL It, Cook It, Eat It is on BBC3 from tomorrow to
Wednesday at 10.30pm.

"If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be
a vegetarian." ~Paul McCartney

I initially thought complaint was in order here, but on consideration
this is probably the best case for going vegetarian we have on TV at
the moment. Let it run I say?

Not quite slaughterhouse reality. Very clinical, obviously special
effort made for the cameras. It certainly opened up a few eyes I'm
sure.

Kosher/Halal slaughter is utterly barbaric. It is blood lust:
