It’s been said that if slaughterhouses had glass walls we’d all be vegetarian.

Indeed, honest transparency of the meat, dairy, and egg industry would do more damage to the industry than any animal advocacy group could ever do.

Hence, this quote from Janet Riley, a vice president of the national trade association, which represents meat and poultry “processors” (aka animal exploiters):

“The fact is, you could be absolutely, 100 percent in perfect compliance [of the law], but if someone is not used to seeing the slaughter process it would be unsettling.”

I’d hope slaughter is ‘unsettling’ to most people because it’s inherently wrong. Killing sentient beings for no good reason is inherently immoral.

But I don’t think that’s why the images would be unsettling for most average folk. I think the reason they’d be unsettling is because current slaughter regulations are inadequate. Compliance with the law leaves much to be desired.
