Conveyer Belt of Death: The Slaughterhouse Worker


Everyday I punch into this hellish domain, this building of death. Everyday I make the same cuts in dead flesh in a inconsistent line of people. Eating chicken and cutting it up raw for endless hours everyday are so different, it makes me sick at time to think people consume these filthy birds. If people were to see exactly how filthy this process truly is, I think people would stop eating chicken altogether, or at least consider changeing the way in which the bird is slaughtered. For instance, just yesterday fifty pounds of raw chicken fell onto the slaughterhouse ground, to save money the company forced the employees to place them on the conveyor belt for furter processing. Without even checking to make sure e-coli wasn't in the chicken. Because the company doesn't want to deal with insurance many of the employees are illegal immigrants, and are underpaid and treated like industrial slave, near sweat shop labor. Just another day in the slaughterhouse.
