As a veterinarian, I am well aware of what goes on in them.

The comparison is outrageous, shameful, and deserving of a well-aimed fist to the face.

In case you are not aware, the entire purpose of slaughterhouses is to KILL animals for EATING. That is not violence. It's industrial processing.

And it CAN be done humanely. I've seen it with my own eyes.
