I: “You always stun your cattle before bleeding them?”
Same Butcher: “Oh! yes, always.”
“Why!”
“Oh! it avoids a lot of pain.”
To the second butcher:—
I: “Then you never stun your sheep before bleeding them.”
Second Butcher: “No, never.”
“Why not? Is there any objection?”
“No, I don’t see any objection; only it’s never done. I’ve never seen a sheep stunned.”
“Just custom?”
