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.

Just go Lion King with it. Animals eat other animals, and that includes humans. People raise animals like cows and pigs and chickens on farms, and when it’s time, they kill them as quickly and painlessly as possible, prepare them as food, and sell the meat to the grocery store.

Sounds brutal, but that’s because it is. Tough conversation.

Edit: added the part about being as quick and painless as possible.
