FIVE GO TO THE ABBATOIR
Five lucky customers of a Withering butcher’s have been treated to a once in a lifetime trip to a local slaughterhouse.
Organised by shop owner Charles Bingley, the trip celebrated the reopening of his premises, which burned down last spring in a ballooning accident. He said: "Customers could register for the trip on our website. We picked five names at random and gave the lucky ones a day to remember."
Group members watched enthusiastically as cattle were led into barred pens, electrically killed and then dismembered at the facility in Traubert’s Heath. They were also given the opportunity to prod the condemned animals with a stick and to throw the switch that turned on the current.
At the end of a highly enjoyable day, each of the five participants received a souvenir bag of offal and a cow’s udder hat.
