I know many (most?) people here and in the UK don’t give a flying one about the welfare of the animals they stuff into their mouths, but for god’s sake, read this article and at least have pity, if not feel shame!
Poor helpless creatures, living in a hell with no hope.
The problem here is that this is an anti Brexit article written by a left wing rag trying to bash chlorinated chicken.
It's a shame because the problem is very real and nothing to do with chlorinated chicken. It's generally down to poor farming methods and management and is around the globe. The vast majority of farmers dont work like this, in the long run they loose out - what's the point of killing or deforming your asset?
I don't think they lose out at all ymb. Once, some activists photographed the way Bernard Matthews turkeys were treated, it was pretty vile. He never lost out did he?
yes, I did, ymb. Isn't that factually 100% correct? There will be trade deals after Brexit and the US wants us to take their chlorinated chicken as part of theirs. The writer of the article doesn't think we should.
ymb, all trade talks are now post-Brexit trade talks, right? Are you suggesting nobody should mention this? Or are you saying we should take chlorinated chicken from the US? Or what?
The standards of animal farming outside of the EU was always going to be a problem after Brexit. I don`t want to eat antibiotic infused beef from the US for example. I always buy British when it comes to meat but some people are guided by their pockets.
It’s not about Brexit, or petty politics. It is about suffering, and whether or not you’re bothered about other creatures’ suffering. You’re not bothered? Then some of my pity goes to you, too, even though you feel no shame.
^ Is that directed at me? The reason I mention Brexit is because as we source foods from outside of the EU, then the meat that we buy will not be subject to the same standards that we comply with now. So you can keep your pity and your "shame on you" comments to yourself because you have completely misunderstood my take on the situation.
