    literally the first article that came up searching for slaughterhouses https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/11/489468205/working-the-chain-slaughterhouse-workers-face-lifelong-injuries

    The workers, most often immigrants and resettled refugees, slaughter and process hundreds of animals an hour, forced to work at high speeds in cold conditions, doing thousands of the same repetitions over and over, with few breaks.

    not that I expect evidence to change your mind

            there are literal entire countries (including Canada off the top of my head) who have told other countries and their resettlement orgs ‘we see you have a humanitarian crisis, but we’re only accepting refugees if they work in our slaughterhouses’ I recognize you’re completely entrenched in this baffling perspective and it’s kinda hard to look at, honestly. you’ve got that “when sea levels rise, everyone living on the coasts should just sell their houses and move” kind of energy.

        Geeze. You literally just refuse to acknowledge sources when they’re handed to you. That is just sad.

        And if you think that anyone chose to be in some of the worst working conditions known to man just because they can choose between quitting and starving to death, then I’d say that’s downright ghoulish.
