TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall caused controversy this week as he said "it's an artificial construct of our society, a cultural decision, to make pets out of dogs and meat out of pigs." Here at the Vegetarian Society we couldn't agree more - after all, we do have our Butcher's Cat website (www.butcherscat.com) which raises just this issue. Our Press Officer Su Taylor spoke on BBC Radio Leeds (Tuesday 11 October), as presenter Liz Green led the debate. You can listen to the discussion on BBC iplayer: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/p00kp7xg (from 1:19:50).
