Nature is, unfortunately, nsfl. Learning how to dress animals is an ancestral survival skill, and outsourcing that to others dampens the weight of what it means to put food on your plate. I hope the gruesomeness of this post convinces people that maybe they should eat less meat instead of more.
Or maybe dont traumatize people and hope they'll become vegan instead of hating vegans.
Butchering animals is a sacred skill and has a lot of baggage attached to it. Just look at Japanese society. It should be given respect.
If your argument is that banning gruesome content related to eating animals is similar to banning racial violence in news coverage because people don't like to see it, then I'll agree with you. It shouldn't be banned, and we should all eat less meat. But I still don't want to see it.
Just adding to this, as an environmental educator I love "nature is metal" moments, like watching a bunny in a field, and a hawk swoops down and kills it. We are outdoors, in both of their habitats. It is part of nature. Still doesn't mean I want to see humans hurting animals in the context of scrolling Lemmy.
The world is full of stupid people, my friend. When we have to put a label on hot coffee, "CAUTION: CONTENTS MAY BE HOT" then you know we are dealing with limited brain cells.
Remember when that was done in response to a coffee keeps much hotter than it should’ve been, and a misaligned lid caused melting flesh and a deformity for life when it fused the skin of a woman’s privates but everyone thinks the company was in the right since they publicly spread disinformation to look innocent?
Okay, great.. what about ANY other label telling people not to do obvious things... like "DON'T TOUCH BLADE WHILE IN OPERATION" on a lawn mower. Or "DO NOT EAT" on batteries. Or "DO NOT COLLAPSE WITH INFANT INSIDE" on strollers etc. etc. etc.
That's all because the US is such a lawsuit shithole, you can get sued for literally anything. You're the land of frivolous lawsuits.
It's possible to mis-operate machinery accidentally, then have an idiot lawyer chase your ambulance recommending you to sue the manufacturer because they didn't label it accordingly, therefore they'd be liable. Of course in most cases liability is on the person, but safety measure regulation increases meant that companies were held liable for any small mistake, including lacking appropriate labelling on products even the most mentally challenged would recognise as dangerous...
Some say it's a nanny state issue, IMO it's just a measure to force companies to make safe (as safe as possible, that is) equipment that has gone too far.
This made me wonder how many pilots would not carry a swiss knife or something. I know I'd have a little one with me. If something like a Leatherman is allowed then that would be my preference to bring.
In the USA military I think all combat pilots carry a knife afaik. At least the ones flying attack planes going on missions where they might get shot down.
Judging by the Arthur Morgan technique, you hold it by the two hind legs, in one hand, and just grab four fingers-worth of it's arsehole and yank violently down towards the head.
Found a dead rabbit in my backyard last week, and a pile of entrails on my driveway this morning. Apparently my house is the local hangout spot for the neighborhood's rabbit-eating wildlife.
So thanks for posting this timely information, it will come in handy if I want to make some stew with the next gift they leave me.
I whip my hare back and forth
Best comment
I must admit I stole that comment from when this picture was posted on Fark 15-20 years ago
I'm glad. I wouldn't have read it otherwise.
Username checks out
Don't admit that, having the right quip at just the right time is more important than the original source. Just take your accolades, and stroll away.
Would it have been a meme 20 years ago?
Not 20 years ago but Whip My Hair by Willow Smith came out in 2011, so about 15 years ago depending on the month.
Thanks for reminding me I’m not as old as I think I am.
le good sir you've earned this epic updoot! so good in fact, i made this entirely useless comment instead of just voting!
Oh effin Roflcopter. You honorable human have mande me laugh heartily. Thanks. Appreciations!
Jake has seen some shit
The first guy to discover this must have been so frustrated
"STU-pid...GOD-damn...MO-ther-FU-oh, hey!!"
Might leave you with a messy back if you swing too far in step 3.
Is this "step 3" in the room with us right now?
This just dislodges everything inside? Jeez
Kinda like how Omniman kills Nightwing.
Works with babies too.

Be kind. Kill the damn thing before doing this, if you have to do this awful technique.
It's a DRESSING technique. The animal is presumed dead at this stage.
Yeah? Well when you PRESUME you make a pres out of u and me.
Hello Mr Pres(ident)

But, you know...
All warning labels and regulation is written in blood
Someone did Someone died

Who figured out this is a thing that works?
Someone with a rabbit, but without a knife.
And with a hypothesis.
Or, if you're going hunting for a rabbit just bring a knife.
Probably for the best, lol. This is from a USAF survival guide, so I'm guessing it's a downed pilot without a knife.
This made me wonder how many pilots would not carry a swiss knife or something. I know I'd have a little one with me. If something like a Leatherman is allowed then that would be my preference to bring.
Knives aren't allowed on planes

How do you skin it though
Judging by the Arthur Morgan technique, you hold it by the two hind legs, in one hand, and just grab four fingers-worth of it's arsehole and yank violently down towards the head.
Cleaning a grouse is basically step on the wings, and pull up the legs.
With a knife? Cut a 1 inch slit across the belly, put two fingers from each hand in the cut and pull apart quickly.
Without a knife? The same but use your teeth to make the initial cut.
I think Les Stroud did this or something similar on Survivorman one time.
In box C, I don’t see a quarterback. Who’s taking the snap?

I would squeeze prematurely and do a surprise rabbit Jackson Pollock on my shoes
Happens to a lot of guys (minus the rabbit).
Might be nicer to use a sharp rock, methinks.
Not really. This is a super quick and relatively safe way to get all the guts and inedible bits out. How's a sharp rock better?
