    I’m vegan but I recall my Dad’s friend who was a butcher and they go to work like we all go to work. In a small town where the butcher actually murder the animals themselves, they see the animals as food before and after the butchery. I think that’s okay-ish as in it is their way of life.

    But in the city there’s no big is farm. The farm is very far away. The cattle are murdered there in mass and people in the city just send money back to get the cattle in the form of burger patties ready to bbq. Most people in a city haven’t ever seen, heard, or smelled dying or dead animals other than road kill.

    If you’ve ever smelled roadkill, that’s the smell at the place where they kill animals for food.
