The cattle I eat are killed humanely — seals are not

AS an enthusiastic carnivore I take an interest in where the meat I am eating comes from and how it got there.

I can be reasonably sure Irish meat comes from animals that are treated humanely.

I can be sure the cattle or lambs that end up on my plate haven’t been chased around the field by a frenzied group of farmers wielding bats or herded into a corner and frightened half to death before being beaten senseless or shot.
