The animals are extremely stupid, but when they
arrive at the slaughterhouse, even they realize that they will be killed. They
are usually led blindfolded by employees so that they do not see the rooms
soaked in blood, urine and shit. They cannot escape, they are bound and gagged,
but they howl, cry, for fear they use to pee and defecate. The strategy is to
take advantage of the moment that the veterinarian is examining the animal,
distracting it, looking into its eyes, as if talking to the beast, so that the
slaughterer can strike the sledgehammer on the side of his skull.
When they get old, its meat and their organs
lose utility and value, do not get good prices. Normally some breeders rent
them for work in the field or in the industry, between the ages of 15 and 35.
In those twenty years, heavy work tends to ruin its bones and physique. Many
die at work from exhaustion and brutal beatings. After that age its work
capacity declines a lot and quickly. Some owners remove them from work,
castrate the animals and begin to raise them for slaughter. In two or three
months they are fat and tender so that their meat is perfect for consumption.
This animal in the drawing certainly did not
imagine that it would be slaughtered. It was a domestic and urban animal. But
its owners decided to sell it to buy a new car; the quickest way to make money
was to take it to the slaughterhouse.
The restoration of slavery has made cities
cleaner, safer and better cared for. Another benefit was to clear the queues
for organ transplantation.
Very good story!!!
