I understand that and broadly agree. The fella I am referring to keeps them and slaughters them himself without the need for them to travel anywhere which is in my view the best possible approach. I fully accept this cannot be the case in the vast majority of slaughtering and councils should...

1) that’s a fair point on this matter, however exposing EU rank hypocrisy (either way) is the name of the game isn’t it? In this instance the EU advocates advancing animal welfare whilst allowing its members to produce Foie Gras, in another part of the EU they advocate sanctions on Russia...
