They’re usually shredded alive almost immediately because they’re seen as “waste” since they don’t lay eggs
For some more context:
My brother in Christ they are literally put through a meat grinder alive. Put a human through a meat grinder that’s 10x bigger than your body while conscious, anyone gonna say that person died peacefully?
Not peacefully, no. But instantaneous death beats a lot of the other variations of unconscionable suffering visited upon factory farm animals.
A human would be aware of what is happening, and the size difference would mean you would need a much larger machine than that to instantaneously destroy an entire person. But if you had to choose between instantaneous obliteration and a slow, torturous existence, some people might actually choose the instant death.
I don’t get this “it could have been worse” mentality. Somebody dies of cancer we don’t say “well at least they weren’t waterboarded and gang raped! Lucky them!”
Have you never heard the phrase “died peacefully in his sleep” or “at least it was quick”?
Meat grinder is not equal to dying peacefully in one’s sleep. A bullet to the head is also quick but we don’t celebrate muggings turned homicide. It’s not that I don’t get the point being made it’s that it’s a weird fucking point to make
