Meat Eaters: If you saw an animal being slaughtered in front of you with the blood & guts, would it put u off?

Question

I'm not a veggie myself. I enjoy eating both greens and meat and i probably wouldn't stop eating it either if i saw it first-hand

Answer 1

No, it would be fresh and even more delicious.

Answer 2

I know this sounds strange to most but I've had the pleasure of this. I actually judged meat and was involved with the meat packing industry. It's gross but once you see the end product it doesn't make me think any different of it. They use a air powered bolt looking thing and it is driven into the cows skull. This doesn't kill them but knocks them out. The reason is if an animal is in tense or stressed the meat won't be as good cause they release chemicals that tense their muscles up. Then they hang them upside down on a pulley system and cut their throats. They bleed out and that's how they actually die. The blood is tunneled out and used in several things like dog food and such. Then they are taken to another area where they are skinned. The hid is sent off as well, leather :) then the carcase is taken to an area where it cut and all the organs are removed. It is then placed in a huge cooler room. The full carcase, without the head and legs and cut at the rib. This is where the USDA guys come in and grade the meat by the exposed rib meat. They categorize the meat, select, choice, prime.

nope... my grandfather had a ranch and a slaughterhouse in Central California. As a child, I had seen many pigs and beef get slaughtered. I thought it was cool. And sometimes it was actually funny, particularly how the hair on pigs is cleaned. The pork carcass is run through an apparatus, much like the wheel on a steamboat. I don't know what that apparatus is called, but the pig goes into a barrel-like tube as a wheel, with blades, spins around and literally shaves the pig. It looks funny as the blades slaps the dead pig silly, as the pig flops around in the tube.

Seeing the skinners and the butchers ply their art... and believe me.. it is an art, is really fascinating. They can take a cowhide off in a matter of minutes, and then the butchers behead, dehoof, de-gut and quarter the beef with amazing precision and speed.

Oh, and there is nothing like eating freshly killed meat. Very juicy and tender.

Answer 4

Nice question! Manages to engage both veggies & meat eaters without seriously upsetting either camp.

As to the answer, I did see a pig strung up by the hind legs in Germany about forty years ago. It's throat was cut, on a main street by the way, & nobody batted an eyelid. Good for them, if we must eat meat (& I do) let's see where it comes from!

Answer 5

No, if I saw an animal being slaughtered in front of me I would still eat it. I like my meats and I've been to the farm before where they slaughter animals, so I'm kind of used to it already.

Answer 6

I used to work at a fish farm, years ago. I spent a lot of my time murdering the fish and gutting them. I got a little "weird" and started playing with things. I remember killing one gutting it and then gently squeezing it's heart, till it started beating in my hand. quite interesting.

I still eat fish. I still eat meat. I was brought up in a carnivore household. My poor girlfriend is a tolerant vegetarian. I just use my own pans for murdered food.

Answer 7

There are many traditional food where you eat the animal from it's original body state (ie feet and head and face are in tact.) I think it is a part of how you are raised... I have a hard time watching Saw 2 but I could break the neck of a rabbit and cook it no problem.

Answer 8

What a load of lies You tell. Having lived on a Farm i visit aid you understand that any guy or woman who hurts or abuses any animal is interior the present day asked to flow away and not return. we glance after them by making use of ability of reality the efficient commodity they're and make certain They below no circumstances flow with the aid of or flow hungry jointly as they're alive. I unquestionably have in my opinion visited the Slaughter abode and can aid you understand that besides the fact that I dislike what happens i understand they did now no longer flow with the aid of . there is not any journey in making Their very final moments painful or humiliating so i won't be waiting to comprehend why all of us might do the style of element. in case you plan on continuing your promoting campaign i choose to propose You get greater helpful stated and take a little time to flow to a Farm and Slaughter abode and get to right nicely-known what you're speaking approximately. i'm thinking you're a Troll by making use of ability of reality no sane guy or woman might make such stupid statements .

Answer 9

I've always said that if I had to kill my own meat, I would probably become a veggie. It's so easy to divorce in your mind the bits of flesh in the plastic tray from the creature it came from, that you just don't think about it. There is a programme on TV in Britain at the moment called 'Kill it, Cook it, Eat it.', where they take an animal and introduce it to the people who are going to eat it after it's been slaughtered in front of them. 'Oh hello Daisy, my your hind quarters are looking tasty tonight!' No-one who witnessed the stunning, slashing, and dismemberment of the cow said 'no' to the freshly cooked steak.

Answer 10

Dun that and got the T shirt, it ain't nice but it is life if you know what I mean. All base products start off in basic form. Its what you create with them makes the difference. Put a load of **** on your veg patch and look what you get , lovely veg. What is the other option, if you kept the animal until it dies of old age it aint worth eating, would you eat me if I had been living for 90 years

Answer 11

I like to eat meat and if i saw something like that then it would put me off but i dont think forever. just for a while. Meat is good for you.
