Have you ever been to an animal slaughterhouse before?


I once went with a friend of mine to get a fresh chicken. I had no idea that the man would kill the chicken right there in front of us.


It was such a cute chicken too. He grabbed the chicken by the neck and swung it violently in circles snapping the chicken's neck. I cried!

Yes I did eat the chicken. I saw that it had yolk inside of its womb.

I felt kind of bad.


Have you ever been to an animal slaughterhouse before?

I've seen videos of factory farming. It's absolutely horrific how they treat animals. I don't watch those videos anymore, as I get too upset. My heart breaks for those poor animals.

There used to be a chicken slaughterhouse near my neighborhood where I passed a zillion times. I saw chickens in cages outside all the time. A smell came from the building which people complained about for years. I guess high rents forced them out of the area.

Eww I can just imagine the smell.

"A smell..."

I once had to spend a week on business in a town where the local economy revolved around the cattle industry. I routinely drove past feedlots where the stench was overpowering. But what really got my attention was how it seemed to permeate the entire town at sundown! I could never understand why it was so strong at that time. Anyway, I retreated to my motel room with the AC at full blast for a measure of relief. And btw, there were also plenty of slaughterhouses and still are, in that community.

Just once. But they never killed the animals in front of the visitors.

No, but I had a similar experience when a friend and I went to a serial killer's house.

reply

No, but I knew someone who worked in a slaughterhouse and after that he did not want to eat meat anymore.
