Proof that hard work can be good for you	Permalink

Proof that hard work can be good for you Many years ago, a wholesale butcher in Devon (UK) was fined the equivalent of $18 for allowing his sons, aged 9,11 and 13 to work in his slaughterhouse. The lads were dressing lambs solo, which meant catching, sticking, dressing and eviscerating them, then hanging the finished carcasses in a cold-room. They could each dress 70 lambs per day on their own.. The wholesaler told the court: 'I will pay the 9 pounds fine, and if you come to my slaughterhouse tomorrow, my boys will be working'… which they did until they left school, two at 15 and one at 18. The 13 year-old built a business stretching from Newbury in Berkshire to Cornwall and died in 2005 leaving an estate of 90 million pounds. The 9 year-old was listed at around number 1700 in the Sunday Times rich list 2008. The 11 year-old, now an Elder Statesman of the meat industry, runs the largest beef plant in the Southern Hemisphere - Yaguana in Buenos Aires __________________ Leon Wildberger Executive Director
