Farm animals bred for human consumption must be humanely slaughtered by a qualified person in a slaughter-house. NOT by the farmer. However - farmers may cull sick animals in order to end their suffering.

How many farm animals do you kill every day?
Contrary to what you might have been told, most farmers don't kill animals everyday. Most of us are farmers because we love animals. For hobby farmers it breaks our hearts to lose an animal or bird. On my farm the only time a hen is killed is to end her suffering when she is too ill to help with medicine and most of the farmers I know feel the same way.
What is the legal way for farmers to kill their sick animals in the UK?
There are several legal (and ethical) way to euthanize a sick animal. The most common is injectable euthanasia solution (usually a solution of potassium and barbiturates), although this is less favored in large animals because the animal must be buried or taken to a landfill which gets expensive. Other ways include a single gun shot to the head followed by severing the jugular veins and carotid arteries or by doing a similar thing with a captive bolt.

Do some farmers kill animals in an inhumane way?
Very, very few farmers do such a thing intentionally. Such farmers shouldn't even be farmers at all if they're going to be treating their livestock inhumanely. Those that do kill an animal inhumanely do it unintentionally due to error in judgement, timing, or lack of knowledge, and unfortunately, the animal suffers. But, unknown to many, especially those who like to point a finger at that farmer and call him cruel, barbaric and other unmentionable accusations, the one who made the mistake suffers the most because they know darn well it was never, ever their intention to kill an animal in that way.
