I went to a slaughter house on Monday for a days work experience (I want to be a vet - dont ask) and I saw the animals alive, being killed, and being turned into meat. It was cows, and I was horrified at they way they were given a electrical bolt to the head and then hung up to bleed to death. I saw their legs being cut, heads being chopped off, being gutted and having all the fat ripped of them. It was awful, what was even worse was that as the men were doing it they were laughing and joking, one even made me hold the tongue of a cow that was killed seconds before - and it was still moving! It was enough to put me off eating meat for life.
