The majority of chickens and pigs that are killed for food are raised on factory farms, then killed and processed in meatpacking plants. Here, animals suffer, but so do the workers, who risk amputation, severe falls and musculoskeletal conditions. @ninaelkadi.com reports: - ThreadSky

Yet, some states are lowering work age laws, to get children in the business.

People choose whether they work in meat processing plants, Although an very dangerous job infects them with virus's & line speeds cause debilitating injuries, there doesn't seem 2 be much sympathy 4 the animals. Most people have identified that animals have souls, yet we torture, kill & eat them..

People choose to feed their families. They do that through work. Lousy, cold, dangerous and debilitating Meat processing is work. I think empathy should go to the humans!

Eat a damn tofu hotdog. No death, no blood, no work, no cold, no danger, only thick headedness from the caveman day ways of doing things.

handlegrip.bsky.social•39 days ago

No!

silicablue.bsky.social•39 days ago

I respectfully disagree. They immediately separate the mother & child, they put them in tiny spaces for their entire life. Then they shoot them, kick them, cut their throats, drag them, cause some kind of torture etc. These beings live, yet spend not a single second of receiving any kind of love.

handlegrip.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yes. That is how it is done on large farms.

Regarding workers specifically, @jesslsr.bsky.social wrote about the desensitization that occurs in these types of jobs if you're interested in reading:

Is this OK to do to another living being under the guise of American Agriculture? We, as the people, do not have to eat animal flesh, we choose to. Remember that when you pass on and have to explain yourselves.

...but...but...but...flavour! Routine! For a person to change their diet they'd have to think! And learn! Maybe even accept responsibility for their actions!

If you do bad things, you're not a good person. That's the whole definition of the words. Even if doing bad was the easy, convenient, and/or profitable option, you are not absolved. Most people are not good people. Fact.

AND, yet, the GQP ALLOWS CHILDREN to work in these places!!! Right Governors Kim Reynolds (Iowa) & Sarah Huckelberry (Arkansas)...??? PROFITS BABY, PROFITS!!!

renigade.bsky.social•39 days ago

It is only very recently the children have not been ponds for adults legally. Unfortunately, many have been able to fly under the radar and still use child labour and now it’s once again open season on children thanks to Republicans.

@dawnattride.bsky.social wrote about this topic, as attempts at corporate accountability may be undermined by various states, like Iowa, trying to loosen child labor laws.

GQP doesn't care as long as it's not their kids getting mangled and mutilated.

MAGAt's will be snapping up those Jobs... once the First Felon sends back the 'Job Stealing Immigants'... LOL.

The silver lining in Trump's brutal draconian deportation plans is that people aren't going to have chickens and pigs to buy at the grocery store since there'll be no one to process them. Unfortunately neither will there be people to pick the veggies we might substitute. Thanks, MAGA bigots!

facistantii.bsky.social•39 days ago

It is already happening with all the recalls. Like to see how long a Maga can withstand working in a slaughterhouse and the fields on brutally hot days. One thing about Magas they live in the moment and in their emotions lacking ability to foresee consequences.

phataxe.bsky.social•38 days ago

That is so true! You'll really like this. First page down to "In the 1970s, Carlo Cipolla, a social psychologist, developed FIVE LAWS OF STUPIDITY." and read that.

The rest is great too, it's just that this part is relevant to not foreseeing consequences

Having worked in the insurance end doing the investigations for these injuries I can say that the whole process from slaughter to processing is one high level gross business. It turned me off of meat real fast.

leighchevaux.bsky.social•39 days ago

Don't forget the horror of killing innocent creatures for a living, day in, day out.

Nothing like the race to the bottom for more corporate profits. None of these cost saving decisions benefit the consumer or workers only shareholders benefit.
