Gentle Death Slaughterhouse: Kill It, Cook It, Eat It

KillItCookItEatIt
As the team flay the lambs they've chosen, one volunteer -- James -- questions the slaughterhouse's practices, calling the killing of animals inhumane and unnecessary.

Ever wonder where your food comes from? In each episode of "Kill It, Cook It, Eat It," a diverse group of participants is challenged to procure their main course the old-fashioned way: by hunting and killing their chosen prey, butchering it in the slaughterhouse, helping to prepare it in the kitchen, and ultimately sampling it at the dinner table. Some may enjoy the process while others recoil, but for each diner it's an intense journey that just may change their perspectives -- and appetites -- forever.

Watch the premiere of "Kill It, Cook It, Eat It" on Tuesday, January 11 at 10/9c on Current TV.

    • "Everything has to die"? That is this man's reasoning for running a facility that profits from an assembly line slaughter of animals on a daily basis. Unconscious animals dying peacefully do not struggle and writhe.

      Good job on the part of the guy making simple and obvious observations about the suffering of these creatures.

    • wow a drive by down vote. the lamb chops were delicious by the way. whoever did the down vote, if you were a wild animal, which would you prefer? dying in abject fear at the claws and teeth of a wild predator, dying of a disease, or old age, or simply suddenly losing consciousness and never waking up? who's to say that lamb won't be reincarnated into a better life?

    • My husband has been a butcher/ plant manager for the past 21 years and this is just a fact of life. This is what we have to do in order to have meat it does not look all that humane but it is. Do you know that here in the US all animals have to have access to water 24 hrs a day before they are to be slaughtered. There is an inspector on the kill floor during the whole process and each animal is throughly inspected before it leaves the plant and can be sold for human consumption. But a human being can sit in an emergency room waiting for the doctors to help you and the nurse or no one else will check on you and not even give you water for 7 hours. Now you tell me which is more humane.

    • Be strong. Be human. EAT MEAT. I wish someone would knock some sense into that annoying vegan, he's got no backbone. All the the non-meat eating animals of this world are food for the ones that do. I do not believe that any animal should be made to suffer, but pain and death are a part of life. Stop being such a pussy!
