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

1.24K 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.

Tell it how it is. What’s wrong with a kid not wanting to eat meat? I think it’s crazy we force them to eat animals before they can make that decision themselves. More often than not, if kids knew what they were eating, and how it got there, they wouldn’t want to eat it.

Yeah lying to your kid about how it’s actually nice for them or humane or whatever is just wrong. Tell them the truth and if they’re upset then I guess you’ll have to take it from there. I felt so betrayed when I learned the truth as a kid that my parents lied to me about something I really cared about

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.
