Glenn Rooney
"There it was. A whole cow. Hoofs, tail, eyes, everything, just hanging on a chain."
The Story
Glenn was teaching in Siberia. He soon discovered that there was no meat in his dinners. After enquiring about this, he was told that he would have to go to the Wednesday market if he wanted to buy some meat. This market turned out to be nothing like anything Glen knew back home. What he witnessed that day made him vow never to eat meat again.
The story continues...
Glenn didn't eat meat for a further six months after that day. He says when he returned to Northern Ireland however, he devoured it!
