"Slaughter houses should be..."
"Slaughter houses should be in restaurants and grocery stores. They
should have a glass wall so people must see the animals and choose. Look into the animal's eyes and say, 'OK, slit HIS throat.'" -- Ingrid Newkirk |

Used to work summers on a kill floor. Gave me a great deal of respect for meat. I let a lot of veggies go to waste but when I have to toss some meat I go ballistic. Something had to die for that, and there's no need to waste it. I also feel that if kids are exposed to where food really comes from (hunting, fishing, slaughter houses, etc.) We wouldn't have so many vegan freaks out there. It would just be a part of life, not some abstract idea tossed into there heads, and if they chose not to eat meat it would have some valid basis. Not the feely good crap you have out there now. If you believe in evolution we are all part of the food chain, and I see no reason not to participate in it to the best of my abilities. We didn't get to the top of it chewing cud. Dave And a brief message for Treehugger, you are making off topic posts to this group. If you don't stop I'm going outside and start killing the neighbor's cats. |

In a grocery store, fish market or restaurant? Same thing, except you get to look into their eyes and say, "OK, boil HIM alive" Does this stop people from eating lobster? Nope. I wouldn't be able to go to a restaurant and pick out a steer to be killed just for me though. I mean, that's just wrong. Beef's gotta be aged, can't just plug 'em and cook 'em. Really though, this would be a great idea because people would probably waste less food and have an understanding and respect for where their food really comes from. |

I am reminded of how the native Americans survived and hunted.....
They gave a prayer to whomever at the butchering of their kill, to show thanks & respect for the animal they just killed for food. Bruce-n-Gold Beach |

It may have changed but even ten years ago, you did exactly that. Pick out a rabbit or chicken and they'd kill and dress it right there. Gosh, I miss that fresh meat. Here in CT we have a combo slaughterhouse and store. You can take your own animals or buy theirs. Sorry to disappoint you Ingrid, but your idea is not new at all. Shop around and you too can get the fresh meats. Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome |

Actually, I lived in Mexico for 7 years (in the days before NAFTA). We used to go to the market and buy chicken the following way: Look at the pens with live chickens in them. Tell the woman, "OK -- I want THAT chicken" They slaughtered the chicken, plucked it and bagged it for you. The truth of the matter is that generations of people grew up slaughtering and butchering their own meat and I would venture to guess that very few of them became vegetarians....... |

My great aunt raised poultry and baked what have you for the farmer's market. I couldn't count the number of ducks, geese, turkeys and chickens that I helped her prepare for market. None of them was 'Bambi'. Later in my teens, we grew hogs and beef. We killed and butchered our own. Sometimes we had too many cats. Well that had to be dealt with. But we always ate good. Aint't no glamour. You're either hungry or you're not. Wait 'til you're starving. Your attitude will adjust. Brick |

I love meat, but I always pause briefly and remember that a life was taken for my nourishment and pleasure. That, and my training as a kid during WW II, makes it impossible for me to not eat all the meat on my plate and fridge/freeze the leftovers. When I'm over at my friend's house, having char-grilled venison, he invariably looks up, smiles and says, "I killed Bambi!" She didn't die in vain. ;~) > [] Wait 'til you're starving.
