If you would have seen how our British workman killed two rams here in 2005, you wouldn't laugh. He wasn't even paid for it. He took parts of the bodies with him and ate them, that and the pleasure of killing was his payment. He hit the rams with a hammer on the forehead and they went very angry. So he finally cut their throats with a kitchen knife. It was a long struggle, the stable was full of blood afterwards. He dumped the heads and bowels only some centimeters deep under the grass. And my dogs digged it out a week later. Imagine the smell. So I had to dig everything up again and bury it somewhere else deeper.
My bosses thought at that time it would be the cheapest way to kill the rams. Yeah it was cheap. Shooting would have been better but they would have had to pay the ammo.
He said the rams didn't taste good, because they were angry and scared when he killed them. In the next year I registered the sheep on me and the workman came one day and told me the boss wanted him to kill some sheep. I went furious and told my boss, that she can't let him kill my sheep. But he had only made a joke. British people are very funny you know...
