(skip this paragraph if you want to get straight to the point) I've been out of work for about 5 weeks,... I'd payed rent and bills heavily in advance so it didn't bother me all that much, so I started looking for a job,... and did a real half arsed effort of it,.. and now I'm at the point where I need money otherwise I might start actually getting behind,.. which I DO NOT want to happen, and of course,. all my bills came in at once, so I need $600 in a hurry or else I loose phone and electricity, so I ring a temp agency for work, it's the only place that can give me full time work at short notice, so I take it,.. go in to see what my jon will be until I can get back on track and start looking for a normal job again,.. I expect my job to be shit,.. but I need the money so I get taken to a duck factory, now,.. I'm not a vegetarian, but I love animals, and hate to see them die,.. but rather than show my disgust, I just put on a normal face and pretend nothing bothers me as they try to gross me out to make sure I can handle the work, and it's all fine,.. so I get told to start after the weekend, chicken bagging. you think you have a bad job? you're wrong, 'I' have a bad job, I have to stuff a dead duck in a bag and clip the top of it airtight, the work is constant, and basically, I have to put them in bags,. as fast as the people behind me can throw them on the table,.. which is no fucking easy task. so I am flatout all day, for only fucking $10 an hour (INCREDIBLY SHIT PAY) the place stinks like all hell, stinks of death, and it's now the second day I've worked there, and I simply cannot take it,.. the work,.. and the emotional ethics behind the work are affecting me so badly that I feel almost completely unable to talk properly, when they slit these ducks throats, they are still concious, I've never had something bother me so much in my life, I try hard not to feel sick all day long, and the work is so involving that I can't even zone out, .. continued |

I skipped every paragraph |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I skipped all of it apart from the words "chicken bagging" and leapt to my own twisted conclusion. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i like skipping. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |

yeah fuck the greedy meatindustry. go veg! (I am) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so I get back home, and try to get over the fact that I will have to endure this hell for at least three weeks,.. as I need constant solid work NOW, and keep in mind that working at this place I feel like I've sold my soul to the devil or something, I HATE this place. I'm feeling really fucking low as you would expect,,.. and then I bite into a freshly cooked steak, and I notice something strange, all of a sudden the bbq sauce started reminding me of blood,.. which I quickly got over once I bit in and started eating it, but then the smell started to bother me,.. it smelt like the steam rising out of the cut in a freshly killed duck, the smell of death, but I kept eating,.. and then I noticed the texture of the meat similar to that of the meat I was packing, anf started thinking of the featherless duck with their slit throats still attached and demonic eyes, I couldn't finish my steak :( |

(I read it all, because it was interesting.) I'm sorry for the overall sad situation you are in by the way. Hope things clear up. I really do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I read it all backwards and then used a mirror and a flashlight to project my thoughts on the wall. Refund: Quit your job! Nothing is worth feeling that bad. I hope you are still searching for jobs. |
||||||||

|
|
Never sell out your principles : If you are morally disgusted by this work, do not do it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I need the money |
||||||||
|
|

I´ll have second thoughts about buying Toilet Duck now i know the ghastly process involved in its manufacture. |

and then I noticed the texture of the meat similar to that of the meat I was packing, anf started thinking of the featherless duck with their slit throats still attached and demonic eyes, I couldn't finish my steak :( This is might not be an 'all bad' thing. There is no need for humans to eat meat (in fact you'd be better off not eating meat [replacing it with something more healthy]). It also shows you're empathic, and that you do value life high (if you do believe that it's possible to value life). But I do feel sorry for you, I'd hate to be in the situation you are in right now. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

this job takes up all of my weekly daylight hours,.. and I have to ride my bike 8 km there and 8 km back, (I used to do this everyday at a previous job,.. this doesn't bother me) I'm exhuasted after work and feel like going to sleep REALLY bad,.. but what good is going to sleep if when I wake up I have to go to work? (at 5am) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"till it's done" trucks come in and deliver a shitload of ducks, when all the ducks are dead and bagged we go home, I got home at 4:30pm today, after riding, between 4 workers today including myself we bagged 11,000 duck just today, that might give you an idea of the sort of effort and speed I am obliged to give in order to keep everything form buikding up and fucking up. |

my dad is dying because he started smoking again after he quit becuase it almost killed him,.. and he refuses to listen to me,.. his health is at the point where quitting could mean the difference between living 3 or 30 more years, and he only greeted me with hostility, so I told him that I'd rather pretend he didn't exist than watch him kill himself, and that if he's going to take this selfish route that he should do it alone,.. and he was my ride to my last workplace,. so I had to quit, and I doubt I will talk to my father again even when he's in hospital, seriously though,.. my life wasn't this fucked up before... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"mcdonalds perhaps?" King of sarcasm!! :D Great reply Refund: Actually, I would view this as being a very fortunate encounter for you as you're being confronted with the true foulness of this industry. Bear in mind that these were just the ducks, a relatively small part when compared to cow, pig and chicken. Every meat-eater should visit a slaughterhouse and if he has at least half a brain he will also be appalled and emotionally hammered by the scene and think twice about continuing his unhealthy and unnecessary meat-eating habit. This instead of placating our kids with balloons and happy meals which is the one of the great evils of our time. It's a natural response you're giving as the massive slaughter of these innocent animals is the biggest human crime in it's history. And to think you've not witnessed even 0.001% of this utterly repulsive animal holocaust taking place every second of our lives, all over the world. The numbers are so huge they turn unreal. Which is why vegetarianism is always met with abusive and witless response from meat-eaters, because it sparks that bit of moral laying dormant inside telling them it's wrong. I'm hoping you will do yourself and your body a huge favour by becoming a vegetarian. As I see you're from Australia you also have at hand a great vegetarian chef Kurma, who's show has been televised and his books "Cooking with Kurma" and "great vegetarian dishes"are widely available and are showing some of the diversity of vegetarian food, unlike popular thought of it being "rabbit-food". |

wise words, thank you... |

i'm kind of laughing inside. not at you Refund, what you feel is valid if you feel it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not meaning to be unkind, but if you're this hard up, should you really be eating steak? That's pretty expensive... |
