They don't see how nearly anything that gets in the way of efficiency is removed in order to make more money, and how loud and bloody and stressful everything is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] the_q@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago The butcher doesn't kill the animal, the people at the abattoir do, so it was likely that he never had to think of any of the mechanics. The article also mentions that it was a seasoned meat business. If it was a shop that specializes in something like custome sausages, the "butcher shop" might not even break down the animals themselves, just mix things together. permalink fedilink source parent [–] brianpeiris@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago Sounds like he was more of a business owner and left the dirty work to labourers until he actually bothered to look. permalink fedilink source parent
