FEW of us like to contemplate the reality of animal slaughter. However, I've just found out about a practice so horrific that I feel that readers must be informed.
Viva! has just completed an investigation which reveals that heavily-pregnant animals are routinely sent to slaughterhouses.
We all shed tears over animals being cruelly treated overseas, but these animals are being slaughtered in British abattoirs. They have virtually no legal protection, so it is up to us to help them. I am determined to do everything I can to end these barbaric killings and I'd like to appeal to readers to join me.
Please consider going vegetarian. Refusing to eat meat tells farmers and politicians that you are sick of this brutality and determined to bring about change.
A EDWARDS (Mrs), Whalley New Road, Blackburn.
