I was born in St Bartholomews ( Barts ) Hospital in the City of London.<\/p>\n
Just next to Barts is Smithfield, which has been a meat market for some 800 years.<\/p>\n
Smithfield market is housed within a beautiful Victorian building which is in danger of being pulled down. Needless to say, the whole issue of what becomes of the building is very controversial indeed.<\/p>\n
I’ll not go in to the various issues which surround the future of Smithfield, but just mention what I think might be done at the place.<\/p>\n
A memorial to the countless millions of animals which have been cruelly murdered, butchered, & sold within Smithfield market.<\/p>\n
The building might also be used as a vegetarian education centre, with retail outlets which sell various organic, & vegetarian products.<\/p>\n

\nmarket at Caledonian Rd, & at every other meat market
\nthroughout the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
