This will be downvoted but it genuinely shocks me how most people seem to be completely fine with shutting their eyes to the horrors that happen. As long as they can keep eating burgers, they don’t care that living creatures suffer horrific lives. I just don’t see how anyone can take that approach and consider themselves to be a moral person.

In Suffolk:
>Animal Justice Project filmed undercover footage inside C&K Meats — a facility slaughtering both intensively-reared and free-range pigs – over several days.
>This abattoir, which has the capacity to kill around 1,200 to 1,400 pigs per day in CO2 gas chambers, supplies pork to brands including Jolly Hog sold at Tesco, Co-op, Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Morrisons, Asda and Lidl.
>Some of Tesco’s own-brand pork products are also slaughtered at this abattoir.
>The abattoir is also part of the Red Tractor and RSPCA Assured schemes.

I wish food production was taught in schools so people can learn to make informed choices about their (invisible? hidden?) impact on animals.

There are so many people here on their high horse telling others not to support animal cruelty whilst they scroll reddit on a phone produced by people working in horrific conditions

Not opening that link, but surely excessive force is better than insufficient force when it comes to abattoirs.

People always claim to get their meat from “humane farms”, but then gloss over the fact that they all end up in the same slaughterhouses.
It’s completely barbaric and caveman-like behaviour to still be doing this to highly sentient beings in this day and age.

I’ll start this by saying I’m a meat eater, but only a couple of times a week and generally only from farm shops locally sourced. Appreciating that I am very fortunate to be able to do that and under no illusion that the animals still are killed.
I went round a very large pig abattoir earlier this year and saw everything but the killing (I saw the immediate aftermath). All I can say is mass scale industrialised ‘processing’ is absolutely shocking to witness. There are images i will never get out of my head and aromas I can still smell.
The problem is without alternative products available at the same price point or lower, with the same nutritional qualities and consumer acceptance, it’s not going to change anytime soon.

Once again tapping my “high welfare meat production is not possible at prices paid by British consumers” sign.Â
