But not while it was alive, unlike animals in Africa who
have the misfortune to cross paths with wild dogs or
hyenas. These don't bother with suffocating their next
meal first, they start at the easy end, the area around
the arsehole and rip out what that can.

I have no problems with people eating meat provided they could string
up the cow, pig, sheep, goat, horse, WHY, slit its throat then gut
and butcher the carcase. It's the complete disconnection between the
animal in the field and the lump of meat in a neat plastic tray,
wrapped in film, on the supermarket shelf that's the problem.
