How do they kill animals for us to eat? Looking for kid-friendly version for a 6yo.

1.30K views

I’ve never hunted, nor fished, nor been apart of the killing/processing of any kind of meat.

My 6yo is asking me how animals end up on our plate. I tend to over-explain and I think that wouldn’t be healthy in this situation.

They herd them into small boxes.
Then take a special little “gun” that is basically a piston and puts it to their head.
When that fires, the rod goes into their brain and stuns them.
The animal is then hung upside-down by it’s rear and has it’s throat cut open and is allowed to bleed out.
This is how “humane slaughter” is performed.

Education should always be honest so that the child forms proper emotional responses.
