Nature is, unfortunately, nsfl. Learning how to dress animals is an ancestral survival skill, and outsourcing that to others dampens the weight of what it means to put food on your plate. I hope the gruesomeness of this post convinces people that maybe they should eat less meat instead of more.
Or maybe dont traumatize people and hope they’ll become vegan instead of hating vegans.
Butchering animals is a sacred skill and has a lot of baggage attached to it. Just look at Japanese society. It should be given respect.
If your argument is that banning gruesome content related to eating animals is similar to banning racial violence in news coverage because people don’t like to see it, then I’ll agree with you. It shouldn’t be banned, and we should all eat less meat. But I still don’t want to see it.
Just adding to this, as an environmental educator I love “nature is metal” moments, like watching a bunny in a field, and a hawk swoops down and kills it. We are outdoors, in both of their habitats. It is part of nature. Still doesn’t mean I want to see humans hurting animals in the context of scrolling Lemmy.
