Can't find how to quote from a page before this one but think yourselves very lucky.  We have no slaughterhouses on the Island and our 'meat' has to be taken to the mainland and then sent back to be 'butchered'. (That doesn't sound quite right to me and I hope you understand what I mean).  Our friend is a butcher for a local lamb producer and they are all Island Grown and are then shipped (ferried) off and then returned 48 hours later for him to sort out.  On going petitions etc to have our local one re-opened.

If there is not the business................

There is the need if you ask the local producers of livestock but those who are in 'power' have decided we don't.  The local Council are on the side of the stockmen (I think that's the right word) but it's those who are in power higher up who stop it.

Hi, i stumbled across this disscusion, and feel i must share with you my hellish morning, i live in Spain and this morning a local farmer decided to slaghter his pigs, although im sure he employed a slaughter man to do the job, i can not tell you how distersting the noise was, i had to fill the house with very loud music, my thorghts of past conversations with ex pats on the terrible sightings of this operation makes me feel sick, i would feel a lot better if these beasts were taken to a registered place and the job done there, a lot of spanish will not employ a slatherman and attempet to do the job themselfs, i dont want to go into detail but let me say a lot of unnecssary suffering goes on, as it is a lot of  people seem to get a kick out of cruelty, you only have to look at bull fighting, any way the reason for my contribution is when i read the passage from SM D66 saying what a shame you couldnt have the slaghterman on site, i only wish i could do something here to bring to light this terrible suffering that these poor innocent beasts go through in the hands of the inexperienced, this i dont surpose will ever change here but as a part of europe i would have thorght this pratice of slaughter illegal?
