It is an almost universal practice a

they are preparing FOR the market t"en'
ty-tour hours before :thev arc killed and
Cleed them until they are faint or fall
from exhaustion. Some butchers treat
all OF the cattle and sheep they kill in q
like manner. The reason given for tAls
is that the meat is rendered white, more
saisbie and less likely 10 spoil.
