We visited a slaughter
house as part of a reality-check trip from our veterinary college .We bore witness to the slaughter /bleeding of an animal
.It is by far the most horrific , deplorable , nauseating and
disgusting sensory and emotional experience I have ever had . To watch
the animal being thrown to the ground , tied up by all fours and having
its neck hacked at without any stunning left me shaking . To be fair no
one was forced to witness this and it was voluntary , yet I wanted to
bear witness to how it is practised in reality in our very own city
(very different from the perfectly sanitary and hygienic methods
propagated in our textbooks , supposedly carried out 'HUMANELY').
If we humans were out in the wild, had to chase down the prey and fight tooth n' claw with it to obtain a meal , it might have been understandable to maintain the natural order of things . Yet ,here we 'civilised humans' have animals packed off to slaughter houses , so as to provide that packed meat carton at our neighbourhood cold storage, so that we the end consumer don't have to bear witness to the atrocious , merciless , terrible act which I just did .What should have been said is ,'FORGIVE ONLY THOSE WHO KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO' . Well, ignorance can no longer be an excuse .
