1 THE WITNESS: If I may add, that is typical of a high, itensity
2 operation.
3
4 (The video recording continued)
5
6 THE WITNESS: That is it typical of high intensity.
7
8 MS. STEEL: Could you pause? Are you not aware of that?
9 A. No, I cannot even make -- that is absolutely wrong. It
10 is too impossible can be done.
11
12 Q. Do you know that for sure, that it is?
13 A. About what?
14
15 Q. Do you know for sure it is wrong?
16 A. It is for sure. You have to have a little bit of
17 common sense. Who in the world is going to feed cement to
18 an animal? That is grotesque. That has absolutely no
19 appreciation of value.
20
21 Q. There is nothing unusual about the manure being fed to them
22 though?
23 A. Like that -- no.
24
25 Q. Sorry, was that no, it is not unusual to feed them manure?
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: Nothing like it.
28
29 THE WITNESS: No, it is not being used.
30
31 Q. You agreed that poultry manure was fed to cows?
32 A. Yes, it could.
33
34 Q. So why not cow manure?
35 A. It is different. Cow manure has no nutritional value
36 for the cow. The cow manure for the chicken has a high
37 level of protein. It is different.
38
39 (The video continued)
40
41 MS. STEEL: Could you pause? Is there anything unusual about
42 what is going on there?
43 A. Yes, that is not how we do it.
44
45 Q. Right OK. Carry on.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you say in what respect?
48 A. We do not, in terms of we do not handle bucket like a
49 bucket, especially in a plastic bucket. We use the
50 tables. The animals do not fall like that from a
51 conveyor. There is a conveyor belt, but it is more of a
52 less slide. They do not -- they just go directly to the
53 table.
54
55 MS. STEEL: But what happens to the ones that are not wanted?
56 Would they go along the conveyor belt into ---
57 A. In what sense?
58
59 Q. -- a basket like that before being destroyed?
60 A. All of them are wanted. They make it -- they want it.
