Since the Sanitation Services Inc employed by the slaughterhouses got fined for this, Arkansas under Huckabee signed a law removing requirements to verify ages of anyone working under 16. Aka no one is liable if children are working in slaughterhouses and getting chemical burns.

Here’s a picture of one of the kids.

    Yeah a lot of workers get PTSD. A lot. At least the ones who don’t get off on torturing/killing animals.

    If you watch (or already watched) Dominion you’ll understand both parts of what I’m saying, both how people could get PTSD and how it is possible some people might enjoy cruelty.

    For any comrades that watch it (or even its trailer) though, Content Warning: A FUCK TON OF ANIMAL CRUELTY AND DEATH BY THESE CORPORATIONS AND THEIR WORKERS IS DOCUMENTED IN UNCENSORED FOOTAGE. Highly recommend though.

        I get it. I sat through the whole thing, and by time I watched it I had already started transitioning toward veganism. Dominion made it essentially impossible to go back, since now even seeing animal byproducts makes me very uncomfortable.

        I think I’m with you. The photos in Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation were enough for me.
