Chefs catch flak for animal killings

Two TV chefs in Britain, including Gordon Ramsay of
Hell's Kitchen, got into a bit of trouble recently for showing animals being slaughtered on the air. Well, it
seems they didn't actually show it in gory, graphic detail, but on chef Jamie Oliver's show, Jamie's Great
Escape, he did slit a lamb's throat. On Ramsay's show, a slaughterman was brought in to kill a few turkeys with a
stun gun. Both shows resulted in fifty-seven complaints, but Ofcom maintained that the killing of the animals was done
in a responsible and humane manner.
