Could you work in a Slaughterhouse?

Lets say you was offered a lucrative job working in a Slaughterhouse could you take that job?

Iam a huge animal lover but i also eat alot of meat (cows, chickens, pigs etc) and i dont think i could bring myself to ever work in that environment.

The sounds the animals would make as they walk to there inevitable doom would make me quit after 20mins!

I doubt it would make me give up meat though but i guess just like how saugages are made i rather spend my time in blissful ignorance.

[Bakis]

Doubt I could, I would still enjoy meat though.

Easy. Job is a Job. worked in worse places.

[Krothar]

I'm not dumb. I know what happens to animals so I can eat that steak or whatever.

If the job paid well and I could get used to the assumed smell, then yes, sure.

[Independent voter]

It would take a little while to get used to.

Old school farm people kill and butcher animals all the time, it's just another chore for them. Like trimming the weeds along the road.

Even backyard farming chickens is pretty hardcore

And there are people who do this without all the fancy equipment.

[Captain N]

Nope. I've been past the slaughterhouse we have here in the middle of August and the smell just makes you want to vomit....and this coming from a former plumber.

Most of us wouldn't. That's kinda why I've been going more and more vegetarian cause I hate being a hypocrite.

The people who do are usually poor immigrants who have no other option. Then the same people who eat meat bitch about immigrants.

[cuafpr]

how lucrative we talking 6 figures? more? if its a step up in pay than my current, and has better hours... then yep. money talks.

[Santti]

I don't know. Never been to a slaughterhouse, so I don't really know the nature of the work. Also depends on what is it that I do in the place. I'd imagine not all of the jobs in there are about killing, or even being around animals that are being killed.

[unbound]

Not a problem to work at a slaughterhouse. I was raised a hunter, so I've killed many animals in life already.

The reality is that humans are omnivores. Not sure why people want to try to deny the reality of who we are. We are an element in what people like to call the circle of life.

We work with some animals, we have some animals as pets, and we eat some animals. Life just isn't black and white.

[WskyDK]

Wouldn't be a problem.
Blood and death aren't an issue for me. I also have no issue killing an animal for food.

[Azadina]

No thanks. Just about the last sorts of places I'd want to work at.

Oh there might be a small office, but trust me, it's 99% killing.

Holy shit.

Ok. so let me get this right.

You are almost a vegetarian and because you are you are now saying that meat eaters are racists? Because eating meat = problems with immigrants?
Are you serious?

[Heladys]

I assume it smells horribly so no.

It really doesn't need to if it's kept clean.

[McNeil]

Like any other job, it depends on the work and paycheck. I don't think I would feel to sad for the animals, the stench might be a much bigger problem for me. Will be fun to occasionaly see some vegans protesting in my workplace.

[Drungan]

have done in the past, for about 6 months ....sure would do again if i needed a job

Seems people are mostly saying no due the *smell* and yes it does smell esp. in a few zones, the zone where animals arrives ( was pigs where i worked ) smells of ..well pigs

the nasty zone is where the pigs gets cut open after they are killed
after that ... it is pretty *clean* and just smell of .. well meat.

after 2 weeks or so you just get used to it no matter what zone you work in.

[WskyDK]

Holy shit.

Yeah, I was just going to let that bullshit go.
There's no way the reasoning makes anything resembling sense.

[Zoibert the Bear]

I have pets and consider them an integral part of the family.

Having said that, one needs to make a living. And if that requires that I work in a slaughterhouse I would most definitely do it. Wouldn't enjoy it though.

[Dug]

If it was my only option available I'm sure I could.
