yeh had a feeling you would say that!! Abattoir it is then. Actually will look into learning the skill myself, but realistically i dont know if i could physically do the skinning and gutting etc,. Have shot sheep of my own in an emergency for welfare reasons, only because i am confident with a gun as i game shoot. There is however a huge difference between putting an animal out of its misery with a 4.10 and killing, bleeding, gutting etc a load of healthy lambs.

thank you bloomer, very helpful comments.

For goodness sake just don't and say you did! Let them do it but say you did it under their supervision!

Trish there's a perfectly logical reason as to why you've had problems with DEFRA - It's simply because it's DEFRA & they are often useless & cause more problems than help like most government agencies x

well I can only thank the dopey lady at DEFRA as it has meant I have been home slaughtering for the last 10 years oblivious to the correct legislation!!
