![]() Before the protests: A typical display at the butcher's, with pigs' heads among the meat and game on show Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz2uELcq115 [Unplucked birds and the occasional pig or deer head were hung up in its shopfront in a small precinct in the Suffolk town. But it has reluctantly had to remove the display after it became the target of a campaign including anonymous hate mail and people hurling abuse in the shop.] He is a butcher not a supermarket with wrapped up food.

I don't see why they need to hang it in the window like that, it's a ****ing butchers...everyone knows what they sell, don't need to show it off in such a gratuitous fashion.

I don't see an issue with it and don't get why all of a sudden it is an issue. I bet those people have no problems eating it, yet have a problem looking at what they will be eating?

Whenever I walk past a display like this it reminds me of the realities of meat eating and to not be as wasteful with it. The cynic in me thinks we are in danger of desensitising the whole process of eating meat to satisfy a few bleeding hearts who don't want to feel guilty while tucking into their McCow burger.

People know where meat comes from, they don't need to see the festering rotting carcasses of dead animals strung up and staring out of lifeless eyes.
It's a bit ghoulish and it scares the kiddies....

This. I see nothing wrong with displaying it. For those who object if you ever meet someone who works in an abattoir and get them to tell you a couple of stories - I guarantee they'll have plenty - that ll put you off meat for good. People should see where their food comes from cuz I guarantee those animals that end up in neat packages of skinned plucked and clean meats you see in supermarket are treated much worse than the animals this butcher is featuring

Don't really see the problem, it's a butcher's shop, it sells meat.

Seems a bit of an overreaction, it is a butchers after all.
However as a compromise, he could just have a some massive boards done with the pictures of all the things he sells on. I rarely eat meat,unless out with friends and family for a meal but in a butchers I went into as a child, there was this half model of a pig,Cow and Sheep on the wall, it had it all marked out with which parts were the cuts of meat and their description. I found it fascinating to be honest and people can see far worse things on the front of newspapers. We are too,so called,protected from certain things these days that in truth we don't need any protection from in reality at all, such as seeing,selecting and buying meat from a butchers shop. Meat and dead animals in a butchers, for goodness sake how does that come about?? Last edited by joeysteele; 24-02-2014 at 11:44 AM. |

I wonder what evidence he has that it was "Townies" who objected. I think society has moved on generally.
I hate it when country people like butchers, farmers etc. round on "Townies" like they're a different breed. It's time they started seeing people for what they are: Customers. |

Home with packaged chicken breasts. People want to be as detached as possible from the process and I wonder if that contributes to people losing respect for food and for what they put in their bodies in general. The argument about kids seeing it is a total cop out, too. The only kids who would be upset ate older ones who AREN'T properly aware of their food sources. My four year old finds these things fascinating... When we go to morrissons the first thing she says is "Daddy daddy, can we go and look at the dead fish???" ... she loves examining the ones on ice that are still whole. We also spent 15 minutes this afternoon examining the chicken before I put it in to roast... It still had some feathers on the tail so we talked about how they're plucked and looked at the stumps where the feet were removed, and why it doesn't have a head. She's never been remotely upset or scared by any of this, just interested to learn. People end up freaked out by it as adults because they never see it as kids, just the chunks of wrapped meat in supermarkets. If even that. Some don't see much beyond a chicken nugget or fish finger. And... If I'm being totally honest... When it comes to adults - if someone doesn't want to have to think about the fact that theyre eating animals then they frankly shouldn't be eating them. All the more delicious cow for the rest of us! Yumyumyumyumyumyum... ![]() Althooouuuggghh... The bit about the squirrels is a bit confusing if it's true. As the guy says "who eats squirrel??". Seems a bit needless. Last edited by user104658; 02-03-2014 at 06:48 PM. |
