I'll add that I use 'hanging' in the context of hanging by the feet from an overhead production line; not hanging by the neck (if that is the point on which you judge me as ignorant), but as above don't see why people should be distressed by being given a graphic description . There are lost of video footage to view but I don't as it is so upsetting and there's nothing I can do to help, as there will always be a market for 'cheap as possible',regardless of other cost.

But your going to the supermarket to buy the dead flesh of animals that have purely been reared so they can eventually be killed and chopped up into pieces on mass. They do this just so people like you and me can bite into the dead flesh, chew it up and swallow it for nourishment and enjoyment of the taste.

So what your saying is that you don't like the idea of animals hanging by the feet before you can enjoy eating their dead bodies. When you buy meat you are literally paying for people to breed more animals purely to be killed.

When you really think about it worrying about if the animals are as comfortable as possible when they are killed for you is slightly odd.

I now have a picture of a [generic] priest saying Every Little Helps as each chicken is dispatched before him.

Morrisons used to say that all their fresh meat is traditionally slaughtered but that New Zealand lamb was not, adding that they had no control over what processed food manufacturers use (obviously), but their own products were guilt free.

Guilt free?

Oh get over yourself please. Just because youve that one way of killing an animal sits right with you, and another doesn't, does not maker the other way 'guilty'

You're buying processed foods when you are buying anything ready made. You have no idea where it's coming from. You have no idea what slaughter method they use in Thailand (why you have fixated on this Thai issue I have no idea)

Your morals do not have a steady base on facts. You are free to eat whatever you choose and not eat whatever you choose, but to go on about guilt and all these other silly things makes you look rather ill informed.

If I were a sheep I'd be more concerned about getting killed than about the specific details of how. That would very much be a secondary matter to me as a sheep.

I imagine that if I were a sheep and someone came up being holier than thou about how they were only going to eat me if I had a bolt shot into my brain killing me, rather than had a bolt shot a little way into my brain rendering me unconscious and then had my throat cut, I would say something along the lines of "Why don't you ask them not to kill me at all". If they said "Oh god, no, I want to kill and eat you, just not like that", I'd find their concern to be slightly hypocritical.

That's if I were a sheep. I am not a sheep and I do eat meat.

OP, out of interest when buying fresh British meat do you buy free-range chicken?

For me if I was being ethical that would be of more concern than which country the barn-raised chicken is from. Generally I don't buy the more expensive produce but I don't buy the value meat either. In an ideal world I think I should be purchasing the most expensive free range chicken though and I wish it was cheaper.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall did a show for channel four years ago about the welfare of British barn-raised chicken if you are interested. I don't think it could get much worse in Thailand.

I would suggest that the op have a look at this and perhaps think again about the natural superiority of British meat production:
