This story and the one below about fluffy chicks being ground up alive makes me feel ashamed to be part of the human race. How anyone could sit down to a leg of lamb knowing that a gentle creature had to suffer and be deprived of its life merely to satisfy 5 minutes of a human desire to eat flesh is beyond me.

"Man in his arrogance thinks himself a great work. More humble, and I believe true, to consider himself created from animals."
Charles Darwin.
