I think if I see one get slautered by neck, I wouldnt eat it for a day or two, but if iam continuosly seeing the whole process on a daily basis, ie starting from the slaughtering to serving it on the food plate along with some fries, the slaughtering scene wud have long been erased from my brain hehe.....so i think that if u have been eating meat continuosly, and if one day u see the animal being slaughtered for preparing some dish like sheesh kabaab or chicken tikka, the chances of eating the dish depends on how long the scene stayed in your mind and how impacting it was to you. However if u were always a vegetarian, neither the scene, nor the dish wud make any impact on you, on the other hand, it wud encourage a vegetarian to start a anti-non-veg bill to be passed in the court . Hope I answered your question to your satisfaction ;)

Honey, most people don't even really 'think about the animal' when they buy the packages of meat at the store. My husband and I are both 'carnivorous' but we have seen the animals 'in their fur and alive' and have also seen them slaughtered ... I just can't eat an animal that I've 'seen' alive or get slaughtered, but if I haven't 'seen it' then it's 'okay to eat.' And 'slaughtered by the neck' does not say what you think it does ... were 'yours' slashed in the throat or strangled? A lot depends on the 'humanity' of the slaughtering method and the way the 'actual animal' 'reacts' ... I don't buy one 'brand' of preserved meat because for years they did not 'slaughter' their animals 'well' ... they'd gaff the pigs by their hind feet/tendons and let them hang and squeal for four hours before they 'slaughtered' them, because 'pain made the meat more tender' ... UGH.

No. Many people slaughter their own animals that they raised and they have NO problem with eating it...and those people had a "personal" relationship with their animals.
I don't know why you think watching an animal get slaughtered would keep people from eating it. I'm glad there are people around to raise and slaughter cows for us so that I don't have to do it myself. If it weren't for slaughter houses, I'd only be able to eat chickens, rabbits, and squirrels because butchering a large animal seems like too big of a project for one person. I don't know how hunters do it.
If people were not intended to eat meat, their teeth would be shaped differently.
Herbivores have teeth that are all molars because nature wants them to only eat plants and they are adapted for eating plants.
People have incisors, canines, and bicuspids in addition to molars because nature dictates that humans should have a well rounded diet of plants AND meat. People who are vegetarians have less muscle mass and stamina than people who eat meat. Of course they will deny this because it's been so long that they had their maximum energy potential that they forgot what it's supposed to feel like.
If you don't want to eat meat, that's fine, but please don't expect to change the human race against what nature intended. Please don't force your vegetarian ideas on everyone as if it were the word of God.
I love animals, but I also love to eat them.

Most people are comfortable with what they were exposed to growing up.
For instance, growing up on a farm, I'll best most wouldn't have an issue with this. Same for many families of avid hunters.
I grew up in a fishing family. I have no problem cleaning fish, crabs and the like. But I would have great difficulty cleaning an animal. (But if I had to I would, becasue I would not care to live on just vegetables! Yech!)
Your average american family sees meat as something that is purchased on foam trays covered in plastic wrap or similar. We know where it comes from, but most meat rooms are hidden from view.
I accept the fact that in the natural order of things, I have my place in the food chain. (Like minded, I don't hike where there's grizzlies or swim where there's sharks!)

Humans have eaten meat for thousands of years. During most of that time, people killed their own food. In the modern world most of us are protected from that. But I think it wouldn't make much difference for most people, especially in the long term. They might quit eating meat for a little while, but eventually they'd have a nice steak. And after that, well...

slaughtered is one thing,if they had a list of all the hormones,antibiotics, and saw the food they ate(ie cows are fed cows,hence mad cow) that would definetly change their minds.Some people are completely fine with that,I gutted several fish when I was younger,it made me feel unright,i love my dogs,I could not gut them and eat them.Why classify some animals as pets and others as food.If people could see what goes on,then they might think differently.When ground beef comes in a neat and tidy package people don't think of the animal,they just see it as a source of food.that's what I did when I was a kid,I only saw the lunch meat neat and tidy in the package,I never thought about where it came from.

I have and I still eat the meat. I actually raised my own chickens and butchered them for meat.
