I grew up helping my family ‘process’ cow and deer (and occasionally other game animals). It doesn’t especially gross me out, and I’d do it again if my choice was to butcher animal corpses or have me and my family die.

Luckily, I developed a functioning moral and ethical framework, and don’t need to eat animals or animal byproducts to live… so I don’t. I think its wrong, even if it doesn’t literally turn my stomach to think about doing.

And, I’m not the furthest off from being forced to eat animal products or die; I have a lot of food allergies, and my body seems like it likes getting more over time. Biggest struggle for me is being deathly allergic to all nuts and several seeds, but I’m okay with beans and wheat. Hope my body doesn’t take me 🫘 from me. But I really can’t eat from any restaurant, due to cross contamination.

I’ve been fishing before and cleaned the fish. Not really too difficult. The only reason I wouldn’t do it again is that fishing is fucking boring.

Do you think the stomach to butcher an animal is a learnable skill or do you think you have to be born with it or raised to do it as a child?

Both. You can learn it but some people just have it

It’s learnable but not something you want to do as a job… https://www.surgeactivism.org/articles/slaughterhouse-workers-and-ptsd

I really like that brand so what is the meme saying is it confirming or challenging the virtue of my treats and goodies
