I worked at a slaughterhouse for about 6 months, in Canada so obviously different. But the only time I saw a cow not unconscious while being drained was when the Orthodox Jews or Muslims stopped by. I didn't watch those twice.

My father insisted I work at one, like he worked at one when he was young. He used a .22, I used a captive bolt gun. Done correctly, the cow should be unconscious. But that industry attracts a certain type of people, so without the government keeping a close eye on the industry I believe the events of that article will happen more.

Yep, kosher and halal are pretty f-ing inhumane.

Fuck, I'm sorry that's a part of your growing-up.
Life-for-food is a thing. I know farms, I've raised sheep, I've sent them away.
I hate the fact it's so industrialised. I'm glad I never had to work in a slaughterhouse. Having the vet put an animal down was bad enough.
