Back in the fifties my grandfather had a small poultry farm, he sold eggs and chickens to the butchers for small money to eke out the family budget.

At that time there were very few foreigners around only a few Indians and Pakistanis selling clothes from suitcases.
They wanted to buy some chickens from grandfather, but insisted that they had to be live.
My grandfather refused to sell them after finding out how they were to be slaughtered.
