You can see the fear in their eyes. They know. I am not a vegan or anything like that. I do feel that we should treat these animals with respect and make their time alive as good as possible as they are giving their lives for our sustenance. When we kill them, it should be as humane and painless as we possibly can. It's one of the reasons I try to get local meat from local farmers as they are not like the corporate ranches where animals are very inhumanely housed and treated. You can taste the difference from an animal that was treated well while it was alive and killed humanely over one that came from a corporate ranch. The meat tastes different. That is probably due to the hormones and other body chemicals present in the flesh as a result of all of the stress and fear.

Very peaceful. The con is that all cattle know they're in a slaughterhouse because they smell the death. I haven't looked into it anymore in fear of not liking the answer but I do know that smell from driving through California. .
