There has to be a happy medium...some argue that simply slaughtering the animal for food is cruel - but well, that part is a fact of life - the slamming of birds against walls? Is not.
But it's all in the mentality of these people that do these jobs. They have NO empathy for the animals. NONE. I'm not saying they're all like that, BUT, I've seen some scary ****.
Once, in high school, while roadtripping through the country in the middle of the night, one of my redneck cousins made me stop the car. I thought he had to pee. Nope, he made me stop it because he saw a possum walking down the road. He chased it down, and slit it's throat with his pocketknife. Just because.
Of course that's sick behavior. I'm only pointing out that there are alot of redneck/hillbilly types that do these jobs, that couldn't care less about any cruelty to the animals.
