The meat paradox: Why we eat animals even though we don t want to
The global appetite for meat is still growing, despite what we know about animal suffering and the environmental cost of eating them. Most people don t want to kill or torture not even animals. So why do they eat meat?

The sheep is wriggling about. Kai will need to use the bolt gun a few times. He hesitates. I wonder if he ll back out after all. But then he takes a deep breath and pulls the trigger. The six-month-old sheep immediately collapses. But the bolt shot alone does not kill it. Kai has to cut the animal s throat. The butcher steps in to help him do it faster.
