No, all the carcasses are buried with respect
Of course they will end up in the food chain, making cheap meat products for the fly tipper types who eat the stuff, filthy social degenerates that they are.
So many here would not eat this then, Korean chopped ham and pork with sliced olives, 5 tins for a quid, got these back in 1999/2000, very nice in a sandwich with onion
Looks like good stuff to me. sorta like super spam
Hey Rik -
Have you a source for cheap Kimchi (sp) - it goes great with tinned dog
This is meant to be humerous, tying in Korean tinned food, tinned sausages of dubious origin, peoples differing attitudes to what various people concider ethical and edible etc etc - OK, please yourself!

No I don't know any links to info etc offhand, but how many people who raise animals humanely would buy the equipment for a mass disposal (ie factory process) of carcasses.

Rik you have chosen to take this as a very personal attack and have become quite personal in your responses both here and in slagging BCUK off on BCL. That is your choice as is what you eat. I nor as far as I can see anyone else here has suggested that you are in the wrong for the choices you make we have simply explained why we make the choices we do. My comment about fly tipping was about how I feel about what I eat and the effect that has on the countryside I live and work in that's why it starts with "To me" I am not suggesting that you are wrong in feeling another way, you can and have put your point of view well too.
I once worked with a trucker for several weeks, actually a good mate of mine at the time. He delivered meat from abattoirs, cattle or pork mainly, he also delivered a lot of poultry. Much of the meats were delivered to the likes of Smith-Field Market or direct to butchers through out England and Wales, mainly. It was by doing this and talking to the workers at such places that he found out what happens or doesn't happen to the animal once it's dead. Now this was a good few years ago, and I dare say much has changed but there wasn't a single abattoir that didn't fully process any carcass and sell on what they stripped out and that includes to companies that specialise in MRM. Poultry for centuries has had virtually the same thing done to it, birds are killed plucked either cooked or stripped. Bones used for stock then ground up for fish meal to name but one. I think that it may be quite naïve to think that only poorly treated animals are used for MRM, that would be a complete waste of money, otherwise millions of carcasses would not be being used. Please note, I am neither defending MRM or championing it merely passing on what I found out.
From this he learnt that it is completely irrelevant where the animal came from, whether or not it had a great live or a miserable one, once it was dead they are all treated the same. He also found out that the country stamp you get on carcasses, only means what country they were slaughtered in not where they were bred etc. Makes you think.

I found out something this morning about MRM that really shocked me. It is HIGHER in iron and than hand boned. I always thought it was lower in basic minerals than proper meat. I break a bones before making stock out of meat left overs so the bone marrow goes into the stock.

B&M stores are selling tins of Pork sausages in lard at 39p a tin, similar to the old compo sausages for those of an age to remember them
Aarr yes tinned square sausages, dog food I mean stewed beef and was it pilchards in tomato sauce (loved crunching the bones) And could all be eaten cold
Happy days

Dear goodness! Are you the one guy we heard about, while telling ghost stories on stag duty... The One Who Likes The Pilchards...

Cheese out of a tooth paste tube lovely.
Once on a outdoor activity course we were given lodes of old rat packs, I had eaten 3 tins of pilchards before we were told "every thing should be ok, But dont eat the pilchards"
Might explain a lot
That would be me..
Used to love oat biscuits a slice of cheese possessed and a dod of jam on top. Of course as a garnish there were usually several different types of oil and grease too.. A great wee nibble while in Soltau or on a Med-Man.
I do not want to start a row here and this is not meant as a dig at Robin, so Robin I apologise in advance if it seems that way, but I must point out any Irish man or woman alive in England in 1854 had fleed from a famine caused originally by potatoe blight. This famine killed at least 1million people (1 eight of the population ) and a further 2 million emigrated. The potato was the staple diet of the majority of the Irish and meat was rarely if ever on the menu for most.
I can imagine Irish people, living and working in England and elsewhere would have been happy to live on vegetables and beans etc. but meat was available to all that could afford it. The reliance on potatoes as a staple diet had contributed to the many deaths so it would be safe to assume that the oppurtunity to eat meat once a week was one that they could not resist. The hardship they had to endure to be able to eat meat once a week was nothing compared to starving to death in Ireland. I would imagine if they were presented with a can of sausages in lard that they would not have baulked at eating them.
I just wanted to put that particular quote in perspective for anyone who would not have been aware of the situation of the time and to put this debate in perspective also. There are people living in poverty in our countries that would be glad to have sausages in a tin or even beans in a tin for that matter.
I understand that people have ethical reasons for not wanting to eat a particular food type and everybody is entitled to their opinion, but is it worth falling out over a can of sausages.

A very good point, I was well aware of the blight and famine and mass emigration but had not connected with the date of Thoreaux. He is writing in the US not England but the situation is the same. He goes to some length interviewing families and itemising what they eat and how much it costs, I'll try to dig it out.
Thanks Robin, I would be interested in reading that. That period would be very familiar to us as it was a huge part of our history and will never be forgotten I would say.
Even though the potatoe blight caused the deaths of many people here we still love our spuds.

Nah, cheese in a tube's for girls. This was cheese in a can labeled processed so nick named possessed. It was a kind of orangy yellow colour but that was about as close as to cheese at it got.
Not wishing to take this thread even more off topic, but having read a few books on the Irish Potato famine, when on holiday in Ireland a few years ago, it is one of those appalling episodes in British History that we should probably all be aware of.
The British (and I think the large land owning Irish) treated the peasant community appallingly during the famine period. There was, at the same time, a Scottish potato famine, which no one hears about. One of the reasons is that it had far less impact because the Scottish landowners, were letting their tennants off their rents and using their own money to help feed their tennants.
In contrast, in Ireland, tennants were being evicted and Ireland continued to export food, even when the majority of its population was starving.
I have to admit, to not remembering the details, but I do remember being horrified at what was going on in Ireland at the time, and what came across as a total disregard for the "ordinary" Irish populace.
I've just had a look for the books, and can't find them, so my facts might be a bit wobbly, but I think the essence is correct.
