A question for the meat eaters
    #8612459 -





You are at the butchershop to score some meat for dinner, when the butcher offers you a deal: You have to come with him to the slaughterhouse, and once there you will be put in a room with a cow. You are to shoot this cow through the head. Then the butcher and you will process the cow in the traditional way, cut him up basically and hang out the pieces and discarding the organs etc. You will be doing most of the work, he will be directing it.

If you do this, you will get a cow's worth of meat coupons so you can eat meat for free for a long time, as many pounds as the cow yielded.

So, in these times of abundance...

.
WOULD you slaughter a cow for its meat?
You may choose only one

probably yes (depends on if I have a deepfreeze and room for the meat)
Yes, I could and would.


I think anybody that eats meat shouldn't be shielded from what they consume.  Steaks don't come from cellophane and Styrofoam containers.

I definetly could do the slaughter and the processing.

Eating it afterwards might take a bit but yeah, I'm sure I could do it.

YES

and good point with the deep freezer.

but i would just call up friends with deep freezers and store it there anyway.

a whole cow is too much meat for one freezer anyway

I could do it but I wouldn't.

I'm becoming more and more fed up with the exploitation of absolutely everything we can get our hands on.. I'd rather pay for it and eat the small amount I require,  instead of murdering some innocent animal just so I could get its meat for free. As you said, this is a time of abundance.

I swear I'm slowly turning vegetarian.

My answer exactly. I probably would, as I'm a meateater and my guilt extends as much to the killing of the animals if I slaughter them or if someone slaughters them for me. I also think I definitely could do it.

Pulling a trigger is easy, living with the consequences is not.

I think I could but it very likely would come back to haunt me and lead to me finally becoming a vegetarian.

so i take it youre not a hunter?

and not everyone is living in abundance.

i lived in a town where we got off school for deer season.

that was food on the table.

i no longer kill needlessly. i cant even bring myself to shoot the human sized rats on my roof, or the chickens runnin around here bcuz i wont eat them.

but anything im going to consume that requires killing first is ok by me. after all theyre livestock. theyre put here for us to consume

Re: A question for the meat eaters [Re: Cepheus]

Yes. Growing up in a rural part of Northern Michigan I'm no stranger to shooting my food in the head, sectioning it off, and discarding the undesirables. I'd have an easier time with a farm raised cow than with a wild deer which may or may not have young. I don't hunt anymore, but I fish sometimes. Times have changed to the point that hunting is no longer a necessity for my family, and I don't believe that shooting anything is a sport.

I think I could bring myself to go through this process.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I've recently come to embrace the idea of trying to slay what I eat.  I'm going dear hunting this year and getting a small game licence in September.  I've also been fishing a lot too, gotta love them trout.

No option for turning the knife on the butcher and eating him? For as long as his yield would last?

My family already hunts for most of our meat.  I try not to eat meat from the store as much as possible since we got a few hundred pounds of wild game in a couple freezers at home.  The skinning and butchering of an animal isn't that bad....I'm just use to it I guess.
