Jesus fuck, the way a chicken twitches after it's been killed will haunt me forever.
When I was a little one, my dad decided to raise a bunch of broiler chickens to fatten up for Christmas. IDK if others have experienced this, but there's a nauseating smell about a dying animal that seems to linger even when the blood's been washed away.
Yeah, there sure is. I'd forgotten about that smell until I read your comment. But reading it, well, I was transported back to being like 8 years old and watching my dad kill and pluck chickens. That awful smell, horrific. The smells of animal agriculture are impossible to explain to someone who's never been around them. The burning smell from branding cattle has stuck with me all these years too. And the awful fake milk formula shit that gets fed to baby dairy cows in their tiny, solitary hutches. I should have gone vegan years before I actually did, but carnism is so damn normalized in our society that it was easier to just pretend those awful smells weren't so bad, or that the baby dairy cows were "gross" and so "deserved it". Fuck I'm glad
