How does a slaughterhouse worker feel about killing animals?
It’s a way of life. Most have been brought up in the farming industry and know the line between a pet and a business. The animals are dispatched (not killed) quickly and quietly. This is a job they do day in day out. It’s like any distressing job, ie:- vets, vet nurses, undertaker, morgue technician , paramedic, fireman, doctor, nurse, midwife etc all deal with death. (I know they don’t cause the death but they still deal with it) If they all let their jobs get to them, they wouldn’t do the job. They slaughterhouse workers have no prior connection with the animals, so have no emotions towards them. Where as if they had to take one of their own pets to be put down, they are as emotional as most people would be.
