Could you work in a Slaughterhouse?

[Zoibert the Bear]

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.

What the fuck is wrong with you. Are you gonna tell me that lions are racist now?

This is the most horrendously retarded argumentation in pro of vegetarianism I've read in a while.

[Heladys]

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

That wasn't reasoning, it was the mental equivalent of a midwestern casserole, with lumps of potato puffs and marshmallows in it.

Why not, if the salary is ok and working conditions are up to highest standards.

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.

Absolutely!!, I was a butcher for a grocery chain for 12 years, I would had loved to have had an actual slaughterhouse near my area.

[Nihilist74]

I would not have a problem with killing animals for food but working in a slaughter house is a dangerous and hard job. That is why i would not work in a slaughter house. I would rather keep all my fingers and not be sick all the time.

The guy who came up with the world's first animal rights laws, and who also happened to be a staunch vegan, hails you.

[Lex Icon]

if i could work solo perhaps.. but i imagine those places are like factories with lots of people(distractions) around.

[Salty Maud]

Nope. Manual labor, not my thing. I am one of those self-important type of millenials who would rather do something they love for much less money than do something shitty for much more money.

Our species is omnivore, that means we eat meat as well. Meat has to preferably die before consumption. The scene at a slaughterhouse might be a bit, eh, disheartening for the faint at heart, but it is necessary and i have no moral objections to the basic principle of slaughtering animals for food. If i wasn't me, i could work at a slaughterhouse if the pay was worth the effort, but to me it isn't.

[Gimlix]

Some of you guys need to realize, that once you work in a slaughterhouse, the smell is unbearable.
And once you home and shower the stank off, guess what? You gonna sweat and you gonna smell exactly like you did before.

Other words, if you work there, you almost smell 24/7 like death

[ItachiZaku]

Not sure. I mean, if the money was good enough and I had a guarantee of falling back to my current job, I think i'd give it a shot. Maybe start out over the weekend...

I might get Silence of the Lambs and Saurfang flashbacks.

This is the most horrendously retarded argumentation in pro of vegetarianism I've read in a while.

I made the point that immigrants do this dirty work that most westerners would never touch. And almost universally the ones who bitch about immigrants depend on them to do the dirty work they won't do.

Not sure where you get lions from that but your response was pretty retarded.

That is an overly generalized argument that is neither accurate nor true.

I think it's a bait, if not then I think that somone just made his license.


Most of the people dont know how to operate, does that mean patients are hypocrites because they're going for the surgery.

He's probably trolling or just wasn't educated enough and have too narror-minded world view.

If you say so but I would never work in one of these places and I'm pretty sure everyone I know never would either no matter what the pay.

How is that even a valid comparison? I can't operate because I'm not trained too. Anybody can slaughter there own food or work in a slaughterhouse but most choose not to.

[Bigbazz]

You have a strange agenda with this post in the way you've worded the answers in your poll. It looks like bait/trolling.

[Deleted]

killed and helped butcher animals on a farm as a kid, which was ok. But i imagine the industrial scale of a slaughterhouse would give me some pause for a bit.

[Deleted]

Not 100% keen on the smell, but I don't mind killing animals.
I like eating meat, it tastes good. I think that if I want to eat an animal, I have to be willing to kill it, anything else would be hypocrisy.

And no, I'm not saying that people should only eat what they've killed, just that they need to be aware of it. That delicious steak was once a cute little calf with big eyes and clumsy long legs. Not acknowledging that is...I don't know, silly?

[Low Hanging Fruit]

It wouldn't make my passion list for a job but if it paid well enough to feed the family and my options were limited I would. But that's about the only circumstances unless we are talking millions a year. Because then I could really make my families lives great.

[Eazy]

How is that even a valid comparison? I can't operate but if I was trained of course I would. Anybody can slaughter there own food.

Of course you didn't get the point:
Job is a job, no matter if they're meat eaters or not.

[Pony Soldier]

I'm an animal lover but I'm not blind to the fact that some animals were born to be eaten. I am aware of the reality that pigs, cows, chickens, etc. get chopped up into bits and get sold in grocery stores. However to actually do the deed of killing so many animals for a living I just couldn't do it. I love my meat though (get that dirty thought out of your mind) so I'm glad there's other people that can handle it so I could continue having my hamburgers and steak.

So I give my thanks to slaughterhouse workers. You da real MVP.
