     1        they feel so strongly about McDonald's, and we will just
     2        talk about it.
     3
     4   Q.   You will tell them, in effect, that they should not go to
     5        McDonald's because of the poor fluffy animals that are
     6        sacrificed to make McDonald's meals?
     7        A.  I doubt that I would use the words "poor fluffy
     8        animals".  I would probably use the words "cows, pigs and
     9        chickens".
    10
    11   Q.   It is an exercise in missionary work, what you do or did,
    12        is it not; you are trying to convert the children?
    13        A.  I certainly do not feel like a missionary.  I just feel
    14        like I am putting the other side of the story, which is
    15        very rarely put to people, because we do not have the money
    16        that McDonald's have.
    17
    18   Q.   Are you going on doing this sort of work?
    19        A.  Yes, I am.
    20
    Q.   If in all, or of these respects, it turns out that
    22        McDonald's has a clean bill of health, will you tell the
    23        children that?
    24        A.  I do not see how you can stop the cows that McDonald's
    25        kill from producing slurry which goes into the water and
    26        pollutes it.  I do not see how you can stop them producing
    27        methane, which is a big cause of global warming, or how you
    28        can stop them from needing more land than it takes to grow
    29        crops to feed directly to people.  You simply cannot do
    30        that; it is impossible.
    31
    32   Q.   There is a good example, Ms. Gallatley.  You mention
    33        methane.  In fact, we have had nothing about slurry in this
    34        case at all, so we cannot talk about slurry, but we have
    35        had quite a bit about methane.  Can I recommend to you,
    36        before you start telling children about McDonald's
    37        responsibility for methane, that you read the evidence of
    38        Professor Duxbury, as well as the judgment, at the end of
    39        the case?
    40        A.  Of course.  But I have read evidence from all over the
         world already.
    42
    43   Q.   You see, you are just a zealot, really, are you not; you
    44        are not an educator?
    45        A.  I do not see myself as a zealot.  Again, I am repeating
    46        myself, but I just see myself as putting forward a
    47        viewpoint which is the reality of meat production.
    48
    49   Q.   Do you know Mr. Peter Cox?
    50        A.  Yes.  Well, I know of him.  I have met him about twice. 
    51 
    52   Q.   Do you know Claire Druce? 
    53        A.  I have met her a couple of times, as well, yes.
    54
    55   Q.   Do you know Andrew Tyler?
    56        A.  I do not know him.  I know who he is.
    57
    58   Q.   Do you know a film production company called Cahoots that
    59        made that film?
    60        A.  Again, I do not really know them, but I have heard of
