There is a thread about banning the seal cull and it has reminded me that in 2 weeks time begins the haggis killing season.
If you think the way that seals are killed is cruel then don't read any further.
What we do in Scotland is look for mothers with young, we use them as bait to attract the adults as haggis are group animals and will go to the aid of any young in distress. The males are distinctive by the long hair around the face.
We then pick the adults up and kick them in the head, trying to stun them and to make the meat nice and tender we will stamp on them several times while they are still alive. It's also preferred to skin them while they are alive as it's easier to get the fur off. Then as soon as we can we get them into a pot and boil them, little bastards.
