He would contend that the manner in which those pigs were slaughtered was not correct. There are a number of different ways that a pig can be slaughtered. It can be done with an electric current and it can be done with a bolt, etc., where there is bleeding. He would contend, as would Mr. O'Driscoll and the Department officials, that the bolt element part was done correctly. Those pigs should have been bled singularly, individually, and given time, but that was not conducted properly. Is it still the Department's contention that the slaughter was done absolutely correctly?
