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.

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.

Who figured out this is a thing that works?
whatsgoingdom@rollenspiel.forum · 32 pts · 161d
Someone with a rabbit, but without a knife.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 160d
And with a hypothesis.
kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 161d
Or, if you're going hunting for a rabbit just bring a knife.
muxika@piefed.muxika.org · 14 pts · 161d
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.

Cleaning a grouse is basically step on the wings, and pull up the legs.
JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 160d
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.
