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

1.20K 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.

Cows are “shot” in the head with a metal bolt.

Chickens are stunned via electricity then their heads are cut off.

When hunting, an ethical person only takes the shot which will have the least suffering for the animal.

.

ETA: You could also say that the people harvesting the animals (usually) try to kill them in the quickest & least painful way possible. Leave out the details.
