Jamie's Slaughterhouse
He's not afraid of getting his hands dirty, that's for sure.
CELEBRITY chef Jamie Oliver is under attack for killing a lamb on screen.
The Naked Chef has been renamed "silencer of the lambs" after slitting the animal's throat while it was conscious.
Graphic scenes aired on British television this week show Oliver grimacing as he pushed a knife through the sheep's neck.
Jamie Oliver relaxes after a hard day of bloodletting.
"It's a beautiful creature but it is tasty and we are the top of the food chain. A chef who has cooked 2000 sheep should kill at least one, otherwise you're a fake," he said.
The images were from Oliver's new series Jamie's Great Escape, set in Italy. He went on to help skin the lamb, cook it and serve it up as a feast.
The TV station which aired the program received dozens of complaints, with many viewers concerned children may have been watching.
The program aired in the key 8.30pm timeslot.
Some animal welfare groups said Oliver should be ashamed of his actions.
Oh, whatever, silly people.
Me, on the other hand, I'm all in favour of killing small animals.
The cuter, the better.
Mmmmm.....lamb.

Seriously, I knew a girl at uni who based her attitude on animal cruelty on the "cuteness" of the animal.
So, according to her theory, torturing crocodiles was OK because "they look mean."

I think little kids have the right to know where that tender juicy chop comes from. If you don't like the idea of slaughtering innocent wittle lambs then you should bugger of to hippy land...
:P
The cuter the animal, the better the steak...
