Blood puddles, mold, tainted meat, bugs: Boar’s Head inspections are horrifying
arstechnica.com

On July 17, the inspector found "green algal growth" in a puddle of standing water in a raw holding cooler. And on July 27, an inspector noted clear liquid leaking out from a square patch on the ceiling. Behind the patch, there were two other patches that were also leaking. An employee came and wiped the liquid away with a sponge, but it returned within 10 seconds. The employee wiped it again, and the liquid again returned within 10 seconds. Meanwhile, a ceiling fan mounted close by was blowing the leaking liquid onto uncovered hams in a hallway outside the room.

A picture of hell.

"Thank god for the hatchery" - Norm

Not where I expected that to go, but then.. I never know where to expect comedians to go.. I think that’s the point.

Anyway, keeping to the subject, when I worked at the hatchery there was this guy.. he was the guy who killed all the male babies, and that was his whole job.. he was fucking weird, in a bad way, and we all gave him tons of space. It didn’t bother him at all to kill thousands of birds in a single day as just his normal job. That’s all.

You get used to the cruelty. It may feel wrong for a short period of time, but you get used to and at some point don't care. I currently work at a small(about 200 pigs) "piglet farm", where they raise pigs and sell them to other farmers. Part of the morning routine involves cutting the tails and teeth's of all new born piglets. It was quite of a shock at the beginning, but even after 1 week I realise it being jot as shocking ad in the beginning, even though I still absolutely hat it for having to do this. Luckyly I only have to work there for 3 more weeks.

Ever worry you’ll be reincarnated as a pig?

No being within conditioned existence escapes ageing, sickness, and death. Being slaughtered for meat is probably not anyone's preference, but all beings will die.
