Not sure what it is like in the US but having worked in a UK slaughterhouse the animals are treated with the utmost respect throughout the process, obviously as in all trades there are disreputable places but the vast majority are fantastic.

As long as the animals that are going to be eaten are treated well I don't mind it but if they are being starved or over fed [to the point they are obese and can't stand up at all!] isn't right at all and makes me sick.

...like the chicken and turkey you eat? Unless you personally see the animal before you eat it, chances are it was overfed to the point it couldn't stand up to maximize meat per poultry. Sorry kiddo, we live in a world where most animals raised for food who are raised in slaughterhouses are in horrendous conditions. Poultry aren't even protected by an humane slaughter laws. Ugh, I hate talking about this stuff- it's really saddening.

It is saddening. makes me want to stop eating chicken, and turkey, even seafood but I'm from New Orleans and I could never not eat seafood.

I'd be happy living off of seafood, vegetables, fruit, soy, nuts, etc.
