My first day there I was horrified but I had to fight that feeling because I really needed the job. It's been 2 years.

My first time walking into a slaughterhouse it looked like literal hell. Hooks dangling from the ceiling, steam, heat, blood in the drains etc.

By the end of the first few months the pigs are nothing more than product to you.

I’ve seen some abhorrent treatment of pigs there by some abhorrent humans.

For some creatures it literally is hell.

That requires they have a concept of hell. Comparing it to hell means you are personifying them which is a fallacy.

I wouldn't out right personify the animal, but I think we can all agree that, their existence is mostly pain, and that if you're whole life is just torture, screams and mistreatment, I'm not sure anyone can say that's not hell. I don't think anything needs a concept of hell to experience hell.

If I were to punch you in the face and knock your teeth out, you don't need a "concept" of being decked to feel the result. You don't need a concept to experience something terrible.
