Fast food nation Chapter 7

First of all, Im curious to know why anyone would ever want to open and run a slaughter house. These chapters are really killing me when it comes to fast food and eating meat. Since I began reading this book, I've cut down on fast food pretty much all together. The only thing I've eaten is Chik-fil-a and I wont even eat the chicken, just fries. On page 152, the book mentions a man that fell into one of the machines and was turned into lard. I can't even explain how sick that makes me. I can't beleive they just kept going after that happened instead of closing down the building. This page also mentions how cattle were stuck on the head with a sledge hammer, slaughtered and then disassembled by the workers. The cruelty with this is just wrong to me. I did some research on slaughter houses and how a lot of them are known for cruelty to animals. One thing I read talked about the way animals suffer in the process of being turned into our every day food. Its against the law to torture animals, even though they are facing death. Some of the things that are being done can be read at this website http://www.all-creatures.org/articles/ar-aninsidelook.html. The article talks about animals still being alive and aware when they are cut to bleed to death and some even go as far as being skinned while they are still alive. It really disgusts me that nothing has been done to stop this type of cruelty. Then again, our world is so messed up, it just doesnt matter to people anymore what happens behind closed doors.
