1 Q. By how many days?
2 A. In the transcript, I already said it.
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He said about 40 for males.
5
6 MR. MORRIS: 40 for males. What, about 30, 32, 33 for females?
7 A. I did not say 30.
8
9 Q. I do not know.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. Give a figure. Was I right in thinking
12 that since Mr. Morris had suggested seven weeks for males
13 and you said you thought it was 40 in the 80s you were
14 referring to males being slaughtered at 40 days?
15 A. No, in those days -----
16
17 Q. Is that right?
18 A. It is about 40. It is not an exact number. 40 to 50,
19 but they were younger -----
20
21 MR. MORRIS: Slightly younger?
22 A. Slightly younger.
23
24 Q. In the 80s?
25 A. In the 80s, yes.
26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: And the females?
28 A. In those days, one of the things that we were about the
29 same time. Now we have found more research to and getting
30 more benefits, more efficiency if you feed them separately
31 and treat them separately.
32
33 MR. MORRIS: So, what weight were they in the 80s when they were
34 being killed at an earlier -----
35 A. I do not know. I do not know exactly.
36
37 Q. Have you heard of Humane Society of the United States?
38 A. Yes, I have.
39
40 Q. Are they a respected concern/welfare organisation?
41 A. Represented by whom? There are some people who believe
42 in what they do. I happen to believe with the concept how
43 they do, but I disagree in the means they go about it.
44 I disagree in a lot of the things that they say.
45
46 Q. Yes, but in terms of in society as a whole when it comes to
47 welfare issues, are they respected? If you do not happen
48 to agree, then say, but they are respected generally?
49 A. In my opinion, no.
50
51 Q. They are not respected?
52 A. They are not respected simply for the fact that they do
53 not always deal with facts. Many times they are wrong,
54 many times they lie. When that happens, I cannot respect
55 them -----
56
57 Q. The Humane Society of the Unites States lies?
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, he must be allowed to finish his answer.
