How do you feel about butchers?!


Question: Are you angry at butchers because they slaughter animals for a living?


Answers: Are you angry at butchers because they slaughter animals for a living?

No - butchers prepare already killed animals for sale (eg jointing it).
My great-grandad was a butcher and provided local quality meat without unnecessary packaging / preservatives / added water and at reasonable prices.
We can choose whether to eat meat or not - and those that chose to eat it need a way of getting it.

ps I have been veggie for 20 years.

pps some people have to eat meat (or fish) for their protein, as dietry problems mean they can't eat enough beans / pulses / lentils / soya (eg IBS sufferers) or eat enough dairy and eggs (eg gall bladder problems) to get all the protein they need.

somebody has to do it we gotta eat

Butchers don't slaughter the animals; they just carve them.

How could I possibly be angry with a butcher. If they didn't do it then I would have to do it. I am not a vegetarian or a vegan.
Mankind are meat eaters. We have teeth to prove that fact.

No, I'm not mad at the coyotes in my back yard that take out bunnies when they're hungry either.....

I love butchers...get to know your butcher and you'll get good meat all the time...much better than the meat wrapped in plastic at your supermarket...get your ground beef ground in front of you fresh, it's much better that way and it hasn't been sitting for days turning brown in the case with a sell by date...you can't beat the butcher...

Why would I be angry at them? Should I be angry at lions for attacking zebras? Should I get mad at vultures for eating animal carcasses? Should I yell at vegetarians for killing millions of plants each year? This is just how the world works. I believe Mufasa called it the Circle of Life. And there's even room for butchers here...

Angry, NOW WAY, thanks to them were eating good!! I know i don't want the job but THANKS TO THE BUTCHERS!!

like all those hard workers that do the jobs that most can't i have high respect and admiration for them.

Butchers spend countless years perfecting their craft. You would be surprised the amount of knowledge of different types of meats butchers have. Those mad a butchers should focus their anger on slaughterhouses.

Good because the butcher doesn't slaughter the animal; his job is to cut the carcass up to the different sections/selections of meat to be sold.

I am grateful they do this job.. would you want to do it? I love our local butcher..I can get any cut of meat, and size, any time....and it is fresh and delicious. He only sells all natural angus beef, organic pork and chicken, and all natural lamb. I have not bought supermarket meat in years.....horrible horrible stuff.

I have no (Feelings) about a Butcher?? and NO. And they don't kill anything.

be a butcher ?i just could not do it, no way,cutting all that meat and giving it to someone else? i'd have to have a grill right there on the spot
