Killing for a Living

[AnimalAvenger]

Killing animals is inherently dangerous work, but the fast line speeds, dirty killing floors, and lack of training make animal-processing plants some of the most dangerous places to work in America today. According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly one in three slaughterhouse workers suffers from illness or injury every year, compared to one in 10 workers in other manufacturing jobs.1 The rate of repetitive stress injury for slaughterhouse employees is 35 times higher than it is for those with other manufacturing jobs.2

Gyarados! I agree that some people may deserve what they get, but it doesn't mean that slaughterhouse conditions should be horrible.

If even the workers are not safe, then why don't we just eliminate the situation altogether and do off with slaughterhouses?
