  8 0 The bovine is bathed, dressed in ceremonial white robes, and is fed its favorite meal of beer and skittles. It then prepares for death by writing a death poem. With its selected attendant (kaishakunin, "second") standing by, the bovine takes up its tantō (knife) or wakizashi (short sword) wrapped in paper so not to sever its hoof or lose its decidedly tenacious grip and plunges it into its abomasum, making a left-to-right cut. The kaishakunin then performs the Moo de grâce.

(my translation) Kinda vague, but there it is...

  1 7 Honestly, unless you plan to work in the industry I don't get these questions at all. Food has to be killed, and the wonderful industries are nice enough to keep us in the dark about it by doing it themselves. If you are planning to work in the industry, Google probably has millions of factual answers to this, as many places will incorporate their own methods based on what they believe is most humane, but really, killing "humanely" is just not possible. But I digress, the answer to kobe beef is pretty simple, some fancy way that they can use to make it seem worth more money so people will be willing to spend more on it. Food flavoring is in the seasons more, personally, a well flavored steak with just the right amount of spices and Worcestershire sauce ... magnifique, though I do like it juicy, meaning it must have blood dammit!

LMNOP commented 8 months ago | Report 2 0 Because we owe them a clean death. It's kinda the least we can do. If no one asks, then no one makes changes. For instance, Wendy's has a humane slaughter policy - who knew? And you can kill humanely - go kill something, like a chicken. Do it inhumanely. Then do it (with a different chicken) humanely. There is a difference. Then eat it. You will feel differently about the meal knowing in what manner it died. BasementDweller3 commented 7 months ago | Report 0 1 @LMNOP: My guess. From her posts, she doesn't really take a lot of interest in the people around her, or understand why they feel a lot of things.
