So, I went to a slaughterhouse.
Yes, a real one.
Yes, we have one in Michigan.
Yes, I was freaked out.
Yes, it was an interesting learning experience.
I started this blog post half a dozen times. I am still processing the experience...
First off, I could NEVER EVER work in a slaughterhouse.
Second, I don't understand how anyone could ever work in a slaughterhouse.
I was (pleasantly) surprised to see that the slaughterhouse is much more humane then I had thought.
I was shocked by how young the workers are.
The employees were all starring at us, pointing, and laughing; I was surprised by this since we were told they have tours come, throughout the year. They probably couldn't believe we were all so freaked out...
At one point, I felt like we were in the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Seeing so many USDA employees throughout the factory was a little more reassuring.
The hardest part was seeing the cows literally walk into there own deaths.

*I apologize this post is so unorganized, as you can tell, I am still processing this experience; and trying to get my thoughts down.
Wow that sounds like a really powerful experience!
ReplyDeleteCharlie and the chocolate factory was the exact image I had too. That place was strange!
