I have seen a cow butchered when I was young. It felt very very wrong. The stench of death still lingers in my mind.
I have seen many chickens butchered too. It felt bad too but not as much as the cow slaughter. Those legends of chickens running without their heads are true. I remember the people who were there laughed--I did not.
I have gone fishing before (not any more). Not so bad. But you get a small feeling of guilt at it goes through its death throes.
I have harvested vegetables, fruits, and many plants by hand. Zero guilt.
