The further I dive into this book, the more eye opening it becomes. Throughout the first chunk of the book I was caught up in the inhumane treatment of the animals being sent through the slaughterhouses, I am now more awestruck about the conditions the workers are in. Not often should you have to fear for your life when you head into work,but that is exactly what these workers have to do. The managers of these places literally pay zero attention to the safety of the employees. When it comes down to it, money is all that matters to these people. Turning a profit ends up being more important than the life of a human being. Yes, slaughterhouses are not the safest places in the world regardless of whether safety regulations are followed. But the lives of the employees will be much better protected if these regulations and guidelines are followed! Cattle should not be falling from the sky like rain, pigs should not be kicking and screaming as they are dipped into boiling water; the list could go on and on. The lack of action by people in power has created houses of horror. Like I said in an earlier blog, this books has not and will not changed my opinion as a meat lover. I am curious as to whether it may affect other people in this way. Those people that are on the fence as far as eating meat may jump to the veggie only side following some light reading of books such as this one. Reading about places like this really makes you think about whether the meat you are eating has been properly cared for.
