it is okay for animals to die. it is life. what is NOT okay is the way they are treated as they are being raised for slaughter.
it does suck the things we put the animal through for such a small amount of meat that we get from them, and we don't even use all the poor thing (whether it be cow chicken pig ect.) and it goes to waste.
killin the chickens urself always makes em taste better...... I don't have chickens anymore, but growing up, that was always my job to butcher chickens.... pheasants, whatever was on the chopping block that particuar day. I can clean a bird quicker than you'd believe....how I miss chopping off heads with my sharp axe........let em run around a bit to excite the dogs.....
Slaughterhouses aren’t really that bad it just means we have to put up with a few illegal immigrants.
I am lucky and know where all my meat comes from, how its killed and prepped, some by me like this weekend I hope (deer season here)
that's offensive? you're just holding a live chicken... anyway, the only slaughterhouse that i've seen in action electrocutes the animals which kills them pretty much instantly. i'm curious where people keep finding these animal-torture businesses.
to be fair, most of the slaughterhouse footage is from the worst ones. a third of livestock handling facilities in the u.s. were designed by temple grandin, witht he intent of making them as humane as possible that being said there are some incredibly inhumane factories of death still in operation, and those should be closed down with all possible alacrity.
I really enjoy seeing an animal kept in claustrophobic, crowded conditions, injected with hormones, branded, shocked and brutally hacked to pieces while hanging upside down. Pain adds flavour and tenderness to the meat.
The real question is... Could I still get my delicious Wendy's burger if slaughterhouses were to be closed down? If the answer is "No", then I fully support slaughterhouses.
