Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr has received more than 7,000 emails about a Wyoming man who reportedly captured and tormented a wolf before killing it, he told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday.
Some of those are threats.
Lehr said people in his office, as well as Sublette County and Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel, have been receiving threats — including death threats — stemming from Daniel, Wyoming, man Cody Roberts’ reported capture, torment and killing of a wild wolf in late February.
Except that there are plenty of neurotypical slaughterhouse workers. That said, the toll working in a slaughterhouse takes on a person’s mental health is beyond what I would wish on my worst enemy. Taking lives all day every day, sometimes not hitting right and watching the animal suffer before you hit it again, being surrounded by all that death, the severed cow heads in the bins staring lifelessly back at you as if in accusation… that fucks a person up. That turns mentally healthy men into the kind troubled enough to attempt suicide. But they are, most of them, when they start working, mentally healthy. Studies have tracked the mental health of towns before and after a slaughterhouse opened and started offering jobs. Violent crime went up. Spousal abuse went up. Drug problems went up. Those workers were okay, and they took a job society says isn’t that bad, is necessary, and it ruined them. Turned them into the kind of men who would beat their wives, because you have to become a violent and dangerous person in order to survive working a job like that.
And the person forking over their ten dollars to McDonald’s for a Big Mac is financing all that suffering. That person is not mentally ill, they are doing what society says is completely acceptable and normal. But it isn’t.
Working at a slaughter house isn’t the same as torturing animals for fun I can definitely see how slaughterhouses would attract that sort of person, but they’re still not the same thing.
I’m not really trying to defend or argue against the factory farming industry. Just pointing out the false equivalency.
But buying a burger is the same as torturing animals for fun. Meat isn’t fun for the slaughterhouse worker, it’s fun for the customer. And the customer is the one making the whole operation happen. All the money comes from the customers.
Bad bot.
Oh that’s an even worse argument. You’re clearly either not serious or too stupid to have a conversation with.
Have a nice day ☺️
