Childhood indoctrination

[The Grand Nudger]

There are no studies because few people gives a flying fuck about the suffering of these animals as long as the cheap meat keeps rolling in. They're mute and they're soon dead and nobody cares, so who's going to ask any questions? Nobody that's who. Makes me sick.

Wrong again, slaughterhouses spend a substantial amount of cash making the process less "stressful" for the livestock (and the subject -is- poured over by those so inclined)- because stress (in the animal), apparently, damages the product - halts the process - and can damage the equipment or cause injury to the operator.

Cattle, for example, are kept well fed, calm, and oblivious right up to the bolt. Not, mind you, that I think this would matter...because pound for pound - they have to be some of the dumbest animals on earth. I've seen em go out the old school way standing shoulder to shoulder and when one dropped the others just stood there - blank expressions, as if to say "hmn....glad that wasn't me..back to eating grass"
