Hi Emery, lovely to hear from you. My neighbour Marie-Louise, who is
like my mother, a darling spirited elderly lady has told me how she
kills them and I will let her do it, I am such a wimp. Round here, it
may be against the rules, but they kill their own animals for their
own consumption, although, saying that, Lauren has sent his first cow
to the abattoir to be killed, he said something to do with the cow is
recorded in the books???? Obviously the pig wasn't as I had to turn
the music up really loud so that I couldn't hear it squealing and that
was only because they were trying to get it out of the sty!!!!
