How can killing and eating animals be 'natural' when #slaughterhouse workers experience #PTSD? (please think about this)

"Abattoir work is linked to multiple mental health problems - 1 researcher uses the term "Perpetrator-Induced Traumatic Syndrome" to refer to symptoms of PTSD suffered by slaughterhouse workers. I personally suffered from depression, a condition exacerbated by the long hours, the relentless work, being surrounded by death. I started feeling suicidal."

As the vicious #attack ended, the ducks were thrown to the ground, flapping and writhing in pain for as long as three minutes. The now emptied shed became littered with the bodies of those ducks who meant nothing to #Gressingham now that they could not provide any #FinancialGain.

The 9,000 #birds who were shoved into crates then endured an arduous 180-mile journey to Gressingham's #slaughterhouse in #Suffolk, where they would enter an #ElectrifiedWaterBath

Pretty great news. As someone who never got on board with the #health arguments for #vegetarianism/#veganism (the #moral ones I see as completely unquestionable though) this seems to be the only viable solution we can hope for and I think it's actually a pretty good one. We literally have the technology to make an omelette without breaking any eggs and it's madness not to employ it.

Sadly we're likely still multiple years away from this becoming truly mainstream, though I was pretty surprised at how fast plant based "meat" came into the mainstream even in the backwaters of Eastern Europe where I live.

Even once we get there, the hardest and slowest part is going to be eradicating the
#slaughterhouse complex. I mean we know full well what happens from smoking and tobacco farming is still gratuitously subsidized in multiple parts of the world. Not sure what political grand mastery would be needed to take off the table all those humble honest jobs (where you keep animals in horrible living conditions, drill holes in their skulls and some times skin them while they've still alive). Though I guess climate catastrophes might "help" speed this up.

America Has Lost Its Moral Compass

A record-high 50% of Americans rate the overall state of moral values in the U.S. as "poor," and another 37% say it is "only fair." Just 1% think the state of moral values is "excellent" and 12% "good." These are the results of a Gallup Poll released on June 15, 2022.

Politicians are the most-guilty offenders here.

@tauli yes of course and so can #invidious etc, but that's not the point here. I think that it is very interesting that #Google now demands personal documents just to watch a #slaughterhouse video.
I wonder who is asked for ID? Everyone in Europe (seems to be some European thing called Audiovisual Media Services Directive (#AVMSD), that's what Googles FAQ says), just a few people?
Do most people not bother and just avoid those videos or do they comply?
