Also, chickenget hooked up on the line with their legs, and their heads then gets dunked into a liquid that is meant to kill them or to deaden them. Again, some of them struggle so hard that while the line moves through the space with the tub they manage to keep their heads out of it. This has as a consequences that they move fully conscious into the next section. Go figure.

Etc.

Staff in such fsactories tends to have become insensitive, too, working under time pressure. I hgave occasionalyl seen horrifying pictures of humans treating animals like any dead matter. Lifting cattle with cranes and the limb being ripped out of the joints, or using cattles tick at their gebtials to make the animals crawl off the lorry on four broken legs, on its ankles. It'S ashaming, and horrifying.

People eat that plenty of meat only becasue they are not aware of what is haüpüening inside these factories. If they would be, you would have an exploding number of vegetarians, I'm sure.

Considering how resource-intensive it is to produce one kilogram of meat, there is even less excuse for the mass-production of meat in indutrial ways.

I havew been vegetarian for over ten years, then eased it a bit. I eat meat only rarely, and when so, I buy from a local farmer where the slaughtering is done in a small farmer's collective, not in one of these industrial animal KZs. Saves the poor creature the stressful transports and the horror of experiencing hell and pain.

I am most radical in my willingness of what to do with these factories.

OK, you're going on my ignore list. I didn't need to know that ****, *******.
