    I think people have an idealized view of a cute red barn in the middle of a large field, and a farmer who sheds a tear and while thanking the animal for the sustenance it is about to provide before they quickly and quietly kill the animal.

    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.

    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.

    I think most people would benefit from seeing a dairy farm or slaughterhouse in person. Especially those that eat meat and such.

    I don't mean to just deter people from doing so in general. It would make people consider the impact better and hopefully those that eat meat would think more about it and reduce their waste.
