You know, they complain about “profit “ but the truth is demand. There are a whole lot of hungry mouths to feed in this world. Would it just be better to let some starve? I don’t think so.
Growing up on a farm, we raised animals for the freezer. By the time I was 13-14 years old one of my responsibilities was slaughter and butcher of those animals, solo I might add, I was very good at what I did and I appreciated every animal that I cut the throat of. In reality to feed millions or billions of people the process has to become very controlled and mechanical, just the facts of life, but just the same it must happen. The Chinese now control a majority in our USA packing plants as owners, maybe go ask the CCP why they are not humane to their/our hogs.
