Louise Gray talks to Andy Fryers

The Ethical Carnivore

– Cube

We should all know exactly where our meat comes from. But what if you took this modern-day maxim to its logical conclusion? What if you only ate animals you killed yourself? Gray decided to do exactly that. Starting small, Louise shucked oysters and caught fish before moving on to shooting pigeons, rabbits and more. Questioning modern attitudes to the meat we eat and asking the question: How did we end up eating so much meat, with so little idea how animals are raised and killed on our behalf?
