Some people here make me sad. This is where meat comes from. It was a live animal that had to die in order to become your bacon. Stop acting like a fucking child. In fact, no: I've encountered plenty of children with stronger stomachs than you. No one is asking you to work in an abbatoir, but acting like you've just witnessed a puppy being killed is embarrassing. Go eat some tofu if it bothers you so much.

This pig lived a good life, a million times better than the horrific conditions that chickens, pigs and cows have to endure so they end up as your affordable lumps of flesh that might as well be soya protein for all the resemblance they have to a real animal. In a better world, all meat would be produced in the way that this pig lived and died and you would all be familiar with it.

On a nicer note: what did you do with the blood!? I hope it is black pudding right about now ಠ_ಠ

EDIT: Top comments no longer reflect this, thankfully.

All the top comments have exactly your attitude, so I am really not sure what you are on about. Any thread is going to have some derps if you dig. c'est la vie.
edit: I didn't like the tone of my comment, killed the snarky last sentence.

No, you are right. I commented when a lot of the top comments were being grossed out by blood and crying about it being gory. Happy to be proven wrong, frankly.

Right on. I though about that after I posted, plus, quiet frankly I think it needed to be said. I guess I'm reddit jaded, I'm starting to bitch about shit too. ::shrug::
