Slaughterhouse children: The dark truth behind the meat you eat

Didn’t watch the video, but I suppose these would be predominantly foreign children. Unfortunately, slavery is common around the world, so tragic. Maybe we need to get back to local farms instead of big food farms, farm to table, supporting our local economies and producing healthy, happy animals that provide exceptional nutrition. Many people choose an all meat diet to deal with leaky gut and various other chronic illnesses. I live in an agricultural Area where family farms still work hard and have integrity.

[@LastBruhStanding]

I already do. Guy I went to high school with has a generational farm and all my meat comes from him. A little more expensive, but definitely worth it.

[@valyshknee4203]

this isn't slavery, its voluntary, i myself dropped out at 15 in 2020 and went to work in a slaughterhouse till 2021, i went for the skills, i went so i had something to do, and i went because i would be paid over 1800 a month despite being a 15 year old compared to others my age who earned around 400-600 a month in mcdonalds which i'd say is a job that is much worse

[@BK1985-x3b]

My grandfather, had learning disabilities I'm pretty sure but he could hardly read or write. He dropped out of school as a teenager, I think he was 15 yrs old. He applied for a local slaughterhouse and that man spent almost 40 years waking up at 3am, working 12+ hour shifts pushing blood from the floor to the pit. He said it was better than being around his wife and "listening to her run her mouth" 😂 he had a point there. Anyway, my father worked there for a few years. I lasted 3 weeks before I went back to a kitchen. I'm currently a Chef and I work for the family that owns the slaughterhouse my grandfather worked for. Grandpa lived on a farm. He was more valuable to the family I guess, working in a slaughterhouse as a child. I'll never understand why they hired him so young especially when he was illiterate. Before anyone asks, he was raised in a very rural area and they only had tiny school houses. I always felt sorry for the man. He really never lived at all. I wish he lived long enough to know that I am a Chef for the owners. He'd be proud. RIP Grandpa Herbert. You were tough as nails!

Schoolwork is much more demanding than it was back in the day. Kids shouldn’t be working hard or physical jobs under age 18. It keeps them in a cycle of poverty. They won’t have time to study and will be tired or distracted in school. Wealthy kids will always have an advantage because they are allowed to dedicate 100% of their energy to studies and gaining scholarships whereas lower class teenagers have to work and get an education.

[@rhinoandlue]

@@agees924 Yes, I agree however if you’re hungry and homeless because you have no money and living in America illegally by yourself you won’t be able to focus scholastically 100% either. I would offer an argument that these kids will do well in life due to a good work ethic. This is not an ideal situation regardless it won’t always lead to the cycle of poverty. Many wealthy young adults are void of work ethic and an ability to multitask life and work balance despite a stellar education. Often resulting in a cycle of mental health crisis which includes anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. Often leaving wealthy young adults unable to work. Leaving them in a cycle of poverty unless their affluent family cares for them financially. I’m rooting for these young people to succeed become legal and live the immigrant American dream.

Growing up on a farm I was driving a tractor at 10 years of age, I had a drivers license at 14 that allowed me to drive a truck farm to market or town for farm related supplies. I worked in hayfields all summer. at the age of 11 my day started at 5:30 am and ended at 9:00pm with dinner and supper breaks. This was normal when I grew up. To little is expected of todays generation and they grow up without a work ethic and being responsible. Today its all fun and games with people believing if they work its bad. Its not.

But the state i live in lets minors work as young as 13 but they only can work 6 to 8 hours per month and they had to have permission from parents and the school, also showing they had good grades ans could keep them like that...and these kids were so excited to have 15 bucks an hour even if it was for 6 to 8 hour PER MONTH, thats alot of $ for a kid.

There's no problem with minors working, and actually there are laws in many states which not only allow it, but govern and dictate differently the labor laws of adults vs minors. As they should.

[@moemaster1966]

I like meat beef pork fish and chicken…but it’s 2023 and there’s gotta be a better way…we can’t subject life through the horrible things going on in these slaughterhouses..animal cruelty and child labor abuse…lab grown foods sound better every day…doesn’t sound good but I bet with investment and a solid plan and sound supervision within 10 years we could be feeling the world with nutritious foods with a lower impact on people and the environment….stop stuff like this…by the way I started working in manufacturing at the age of 14 it’s absolutely no place to grow up I figured out that 35 years later….

Everyone start growing a garden. Grow as much of your own food as you can. China owns a huge percentage of farmland in this country and Bill Gates too.

[@ChonkyCats]

I say if you get full benefits as an adult why not get a job as a kid? I'd choose a slaughterhouse job over school. When it becomes wrong in my mind is when the kids get less pay / no benefits

prob pays more than mowing grass

[@poke_hoard422]

A couple thousand out of the reported 73.1 million kids in the usa is actually a very low amount and would suggest it truly isnt a grand issue by any means

[@thomashuston9180]

The kids look well dressed. That's what's really important.

[@denieshepherd8196]

This is evil very active in America, horrific!!!!!!! How is it the this continues???? My grandchildren were not allowed to work because they were underage.

[@LastBruhStanding]

America? The entire planet does it. The next time you eat chocolate, just remember the cocoa was harvested by 8 year olds and Hershey and Nestlé have been aware for decades.

[@happysheher]

It's the local job guaranteed to hire anyone.

[@steveeuphrates-river7342]

Like 1900s America

[@RitaMoore-um6dm]

Those children sadly do a better job than adults at this because adults don't want to do what they do. The children also do a better job because they desperately need the job. Adults can get injured or killed on the job as well. I lived in an upscale area and the market hired kids to work for them. There was a small butcher counter that had a meat grinder and a 16 year old lost his hand in it. Accidents happen I wish they didn't. All of these workers are at least working or trying to. They will be doing what when this ends?

We need whistle blowers scientists to check out the Maui Lahaina disaster. Please Please help. It happened here it could be your home next. 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Over50z]

It's truly horrible that Rich people stay rich and alive at our bodies expense then they oppress you.

[@lindamannix1247]

Can this be true .. Poor children ! Oh God, save the children .

[@davidkitterman3952]

Yeah close the Border

[@JustOne-qe7jl]

Poor children- where are there parents? This is allowed by their government, those who bring them over the border, the company owners, and officials here. This is human trafficking.

[@lealmelisa]

😢😢😢 People please go vegan! Stop the evil meat industry.

[@CherokeeBird]

Humans weren't meant to be vegetarian or vegan. Do you not care that thousands of animals are also killed to keep them from eating vegetables? Slowly poisoned. Now that's a horrible death.

[@xijinbling2373]

Animals are killed by planting and harvesting vegetables.

[@TheeHuntress]

😂🍖

[@yeshua64]

Illegal immigration

[@darealboby4017]

HORRIFIC Practices. JUDGEMENT SHOULD START AT THE TOP ...NOW,... NOT LATER. Period.

[@matthewreyes2401]

Wow this was so much worse than it was initially expected.

[@DonaldHarrington-vl7zq]

350 other foster kids unknown number of murder victims

[@Christina-qu6zd]

WOW😮 I find this true story to be Disturbing!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@judithcampbell1705]

This is a very hard subject to address. I believe in working hard in life, to HAVE a good life. But I don't believe in making children work long hours everyday to pay bills. My daughter had a little job she got for herself when she was 12. But my husband and I went with her. As a parent, It is my job to protect her. If these children are being forced to work long hours every day, they obviously aren't going to school. I'm sorry, but to me? This is wrong. Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention! I hope further laws will be made to protect the vulnerable children. They are the future. ❤

[@LastBruhStanding]

Opportunity is created through desperation. The kid was probably sent here through savings of an entire family in a country with low paying jobs, if any jobs. They support an entire family just like Henry Ford's workers did. It's certainly not ideal, but in contrast to the future in the other country, it's much better. Americans aren't lining up to do this work. Agriculture either. Once again, desperation creates Opportunity. Check the cocoa harvesting, much younger and Nestlé and the other manufacturers know it. It's been going on for decades and I don't think a news clip will change it. Unfortunately.
