[Gordon Steadman]

You know I hate what happens to animals when going to slaughter - but truth is I honestly cannot afford the more expensive meat.

We have cut back - but like you - I do get annoyed with my lack of moral fibre to do more....

Eating meat is another one of course. We have raised our own animals here ever since we moved in. I hate it but if someone is going to kill them to eat, I reckon it should be me.

Just once, we took some geese to the local abattoire and the guys who took them in were so rough with them and treated them like inanimate objects that we bought them straight back home and did it ourselves. 

Not much we can do about the bigger animals but we do try our best to treat our animals well
