So today me and rollinrightinnuit got into a talk about animal slaughter in TC.
We both agreed that slaughterhouses are fucked up. I made a comment though, saying that the animals should be killed with a hammer, axe, or something like that.
She disagreed, and eventually i was called a twisted asshole.
My point in saying that was this; we as humans have killed animals (including other humans) for food, sport etc. etc. for longer than anyone can remember or record. IMO it's just the way things are, I think though that to kill something, and sell it or eat it, you should have to earn it. That means hunting it, or at the least doing it by hand, because honestly i don't think the world cares enough to just stop eating meat all together, much less selling it, with that in mind the people who continue to do that should feel their actions IMO.
It was brought up that machines kill faster, the animal may feel less pain. I see that as a much worse offence than pain, because I don't see pain as such a big deal, unlike what was argued I'm not a masochist, I just wouldn't go so far as to disrespect an animal enough to make it's life less than mine by assuming that it can't take a little pain, everything feels pain at some point, and I think if your going to kill, you should feel the victim die in this case at the least.
So! question is, am I a sicko, and please try to not get too emotional or anything, I'm very used to being talked shit to for my opinion.
