What is the manual labor you do? You mentioned it in the other thread you enjoy back-breaking labor. What is it?

At that specific time when I lost alot of weight despite eating fast food (while simulatenously gaining alot of muscle), it was working at Burger King while also working for a Butchery where my job was to help shoot animals and drag their heavy carcasses around.

Wow, that is something. You shot livestock?

Well all that meat we eat has to be coming from somewhere.

I can't believe this thread has gone so wildly off-topic, yet its more intriguing than ever

So you handled a gun and shot animals dead? How did you feel doing that?

If memory serves, its actually more like a handheld piston/jackjammer type of thing. You pull a trigger and it "hammers" into the head with a rod. Not exactly a pleasant thought, but humane enough, as far as it goes. Usually instant death, though I've heard stories where the animal moves suddenly and it misses the killspot.

It wasn't a gun, but a large tranquilizier which was meant to shoot them in the head and render them unconscious after which they would be slaughtered.

I didn't really feel bad, having been become desensitized to it (since I had seen alot of slaughters even as a kid), but it definetly isn't somehing I'd recommend to the faint of heart.

It's kind of weird to think people have jobs where they kill and slice up animals. I mean obviously the food comes from somewhere, but it's weird to think about.

I wouldn't touch a dead animal with a ten foot pole. I can't imagine the smell either and all that blood. It's like a savage living in the wilds.
