Can non-veg eaters visit a slaughter house ?

Question

And see the plight of animals there- then give it a thought!

They love animals though, have pets! Yet!

Answer 1

I think it would be great for non-vegetarians to visit a slaughterhouse, so that they would actually get an accurate idea of what goes on in these places and make an educated decision about whether or not they want to be a part of this cycle of extreme cruelty and inhumanity. However, factory farming and slaughterhouses depend on people having an image in their heads of cows happily grazing on grassy hills and animals being instantly and humanely killed in slaughterhouses. In fact, this is far from the truth, so many factory farms and slaughterhouses prohibit people from visiting and will actually press charges if someone attempts to come in and witness what goes on for themselves. However some people have broken into factory farms to get video footage so that people can learn the truth. If you're interested you can see these videos and photos on many websites, including Peta and Farm Sanctuary. Check it out!

Answer 2

Some people absolutely would. Others wouldn't. It really depends on how willing they are to accept that an animal has to be killed in order to feed them. Seeing the process by which an animal becomes a steak (or burger) would really put some folks off, especially as seen in the high-volume operations. Most people know that meat is animal, but don't have any real image of the animal as an animal, or any sense of how it is turned into dinner. If someone is sensitive, they would probably be pretty upset by the whole hanging a cow upside-down-and-slitting-its-throat thing. I didn't watch any slaughterhouse footage until last year (after I'd been veggie for awhile) and I found it rather disgusting. I mean, GALLONS of blood just pour out of the cow. Vomit, too. It was unpleasant to see. Blech. But anyway, meat doesn't really look like a cow. Seeing the actual process, and that it's pretty much the fur and skin that is the difference between a cow and beef, would make the connection a lot stronger for some people. If it already bugged them that they were eating cow, I can see how knowing the process would make it a lot harder to ignore the fact that they were eating muscle. However, some people really wouldn't be upset at all. They already know the score, and seeing the process would be interesting to them.

Answer 3

well if u r so very concerned about the plight of animals in slaughter houses then i would advise u to go to a laboratory where the scientists perform experiments on plants & just have a look at the plight of those poor plants ........... certain ppl have adopted pure vegetarianism as a dietary law coz they're totally against the killing of living creatures.....
My dear i wonder whether u know anything about this universally accepted fact tht even plants have life...... thus ur logic of not killing living creatures is not fulfilled even by being a pure vegetarian.............
It has been proved tht plants do feel pain........... but the cry of plants cannot be heard by the human being due to the inability of the human ear to hear sounds tht r not in the audible range , i.e., 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz........ Anything below & above this range cannot be heard by a human being..........
so my dear just see the plight of plants & crops when they r plucked & killed & ur heart would be filled with angst & guilt for urself.............i m sure u won't b eating anything after tht............. neither non-veg nor veg..........
& one more thing ........... i do not have a problem if some ppl r vegetarians......... however they should not condemn non-vegetarians as ruthless.............

Answer 4

I visited a slaughter house, I read "The Jungle," I know people who've worked in animal slaughterhouses, and I've seen documentaries. After each of these experiences, the first thing I do is eat, usually meat.

Answer 5

Been there. Picked out my own cow and took half of it home. I also grow my own vegetables when the seasons permit. I have no illusions about where my food comes from and accept that for one thing to live, others must die. To not kill anything is the real affront to the natural way of things.

The only difference between vegetarians and carnivores is that, in the wild, the food that vegetarians kill and eat had absolutely no change of getting away.

Answer 6

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...cant really..have a heart....my little joy often tells me the strangest of things the moment i bite a leg piece or munch on a chicken preparation....for a moment i get shivers down my spine..for a week i pledge not to eat non- veg but lo!!!ther i am ...again...swearing by the cook's preparation and back to square one...whenever we travel abroad..my little one ...who is a complete vegetarian faces such a lot of problem...well..the plight of animals is true...but..BUT...shall surely ponder on the thought...

Answer 7

I don't know that anyone can visit slaughterhouses for liability reasons.

I do know lots of non-veggies who also find high-volume slaughterhouses to be disgusting. They're the ones who go hunting or raise their own food so they can be sure that the animals are killed instantly in a clean environment.

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

It all depends upon the sensitivity of the person. More over that person should have some level of identification with nature and animals.

Answer 10

Yes. It would make them have second thoughts of eating birds and animals
