re: #2 theheat

I think slitting animal’s throats while fully conscious is fucking gruesome, barbaric, heartless, and just another expression of dominionism. I’ve watched a fair amount of animal slaughter, and despite how “kind” people think slitting an animal’s throat is, I guarantee the animal would disagree most strongly.

It’s one of the religious practices that, like belief in creationism, people cling to as part of their identity. Doesn’t make it less creepy. It doesn’t even make it right. It just means it’s something done in the name of religion.

Stunning an animal with a giant taser, taking several agonizing minutes to administer multiple electric shocks until the animal loses consciousness is not any more “humane” for the animal, just less messy and more efficient for the meat processing industry.

Would you rather be executed by guillotine or electric chair?
