German farmers cannot legally slaughter their animals, they need a (EU-regulation-compliant,
I think kosher/halal butchers are exempt, which results in cruel and unusual
punishment versus a relatively low-stress and quick electrostun/exsanguination kill)
butcher to do it.

Despite all the recent improvements, there are a lot of double standards and hypocrisy
prevalent in treatment of food versus experimental animals, especially in the
companion animal category.
