Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    You should care.

    There’s another aspect to it as well. My grandfather suffered from PTSD from working as a butcher almost his entire adult life - I’ve recently learned that it’s a pretty common thing for people working in abattoirs.

    If they don’t care abuot the animals, they might (and that’s a very iffy “might”) care about the people.

      I just want to point out that most butchers don’t work on the kill line. I can see PTSD being common there, but it is definitely not common for retail butchers. Most retail butchers don’t even see a carcass anymore.
