...yeah, I'm just having the realisation that: a) I have never personally been in the same place as a meat animal when it was slaughtered b) I have seen (non sensationalised) footage of animals being slaughtered, and I have been in the same place as a freshly dead beef cow (though it had not been killed for meat purposes and I was not there when it was killed) c)...this somehow might be more exposure to freshly dead animals than the average Australian?
Which seems very *weird.*
I've also noticed that contrast with preppers, as well? There was one article that has stuck in my mind that was looking at the lives of different prepper households, and there was such a contrast between between "I have filled my basement with GUNS and BEANS" vs "MEAT RABBITS. YOU GET MEAT RABBIT. YOU GET A MEAT RABBIT. EVERYONE GETS A MEAT RABBIT. IN CASE THE WORLD ECONOMY COLLAPSES" vs "we are diabetics who live in a rural place. If a once in 50 years tornado came through and we were not prepared, we would die, so we have... prepared for that?"
