    sounds like there’s tons of room for improvement if some company can just show up and kill animals without any verification, which is both great news and horrifying that the people involved could be so thoughtless

      It happens here all the time (Killing animals on unattended properties, Australia)

      Sometimes the owner doesn’t even LIVE on the property where the animals are, and the butcher comes down with “third gate on the right, the one with the two trees, we want the two pigs next the the barn done” written on a post-it note.

      Personally we’ve NEVER allowed any animals killed on the property without us being there but it’s not unusual.

        Well that insight makes me understand this more, and I can definitely understand the want and use of such instructions in these remote locations that nobody is constantly at. I suppose that just makes it more critical to double check what sparse notes you have 🥲

    I’m surprised that self-called ‘butchers’ don’t get embarrassed by the negative connotations of the word, in the same way a gay person wouldn’t call themselves a certain f word.
