When I was a teenager I often worked weekends at a local farm. A local butcher would come round several times a year and he would butcher sheep and pigs in one of the barns. I often helped him, the deaths were quick and painless but would sound very gruesome if I described them. But the main thing for me was, the animals travelled on foot from their fields, on land they knew, to a barn they were familiar with, and weren't aware of anything going on until the last moment. Them being crammed onto lorries and all that ensues is difficult to think about.
