Slaughterhouse - the Task of Blood

on BBC Two England

With the majority of people in Britain still meat-eaters, thousands of animals are slaughtered each day in the country's abattoirs. This graphic documentary focuses on a small, family-run abattoir in Oldham, Greater Manchester. As well as showing the methods involved in meat production, it also hears from the men from a wide range of cultural backgrounds who wield the sharp knives - the killers and the cutters.
