1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Then Ms. Steel wanted to put you the second
2 one, "many sows are chained to the floor". What do you say
3 to that? In your experience, are many sows in the States
4 chained to the floor?
5 A. No, I have never seen a single one.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We will take the five-minute break there.
8
9 MS. STEEL: I was just going to say, I am just checking that
10 I have finished this document, but then there is just the
11 video to do.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I was going to say, the purpose of the
14 five-minute break, although I am sure we are all glad to be
15 able to stretch our legs, is really to give Miss Foot a bit
16 of a break. So, I would like you and Mr. Morris to use
17 part of it to make sure Mr. Rampton, Mr. Atkinson and
18 Mrs. Brinley-Codd do know exactly which film you are
19 referring to.

21 (Short Adjournment)
22
23 MS. STEEL: If we go on to the video, it may be easier if
24 Dr. Gomez Gonzalez comes over. I should say that the video

26 and the US. It is not just -----

28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: From the?
29
30 MS. STEEL: Some of it is from the United States and some of it

32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Right, now you propose to show bits and then
34 ask Mrs. Brinley-Codd if she can stop and then ask a
35 question, do you?
36
37 MS. STEEL: Yes, yes.
38
39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you can manage that way, it would be much
40 appreciated because we only need go through the film once.
41 If at any stage, Dr. Gomez Gonzalez, you say that you would
42 like to see the whole film, you are entitled to do that,
43 just as you would be entitled to read the whole of a
44 document before being asked any point of it, but I would be
45 grateful if you can avoid that if at all possible.
46
47 MS. STEEL: The whole film is about all sorts of other things as
48 well, like vivisection and things like that.
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, all right. All the relevant parts of
51 it.
52 (Video recording was shown)
53
54 MS. STEEL: Could you stop it for a second? Is that correct
55 that one half of all dairy cows in the United States are
56 permanently confined indoors?
57 A. I do not know.
58
59 Q. You do not know?
60 A. I have not seen, they are in confinement, but in close
