imagine if the farmer tried to slaughter the animal right there in front of everyone – the child would be traumatised, but, then again, so would most of us. If we saw a chick being thrown into a macerator, we would be devastated. If we saw a piglet being mutilated, we would be deeply upset. If a farmer attempted to kill an animal in front of us, many of us would try to stop them. Yet these things happen every day, and we pay for them to happen. We don’t think about it – we choose not to think about it – because it is out of sight and out of mind.
