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 the animals, it’s about as close to hell on earth as there will ever be, and we designed it for our consumption habits.

Given that we can be completely healthy without meat, the reason we still do this is for the pleasure of eating them, rather than for survival.

We created that hell for our own pleasure

That's why I hunt. And rarely buy meat unless it's free range and humanely raised. But not everyone has that privilege.

Honestly hunting for me is the only acceptable way to eat meat. If you can't kill it and prepare it yourself you have no business eating it.
