Are you serious ?I realy don't know where you get that idea from ,and yes "us British" would go nuts if we saw someone killing a goat in the street and letting the blood drain down the street ,and rightly so ,that may be acceptible and even nescesary in the African plains or even the highlands of Scotland but most definately not in a street in yorkshire
