Maybe just my personal opinion, but I saw the meme geared more towards the slaughterhouses themselves rather than the consumer individually. On the subject of slaughterhouses, the meme is a lot truer.

Slaughterhouses have a VERY high rate of problems, both in their practices and amongst employees. While I would describe employees as victims of circumstances in many cases (for example, they’re more likely to suffer an injury on the job than the average worker, or have high rates of alcoholism and drug addiction,) they also have a high rate of engaging in a lot of abuse towards the animals they’re killing, or in domestic violence at home. It’s often seen as a consequence of the emotional toll of the brutal conditions animals are in slaughterhouses. Most of these places completely ignore animal welfare laws.

Here is the wiki article on slaughterhouses, I know a lot of people poo-poo wiki since anyone can edit, but if you have any sources or evidence that is contrary to what I said, I’d be very interested in reading it, since I haven’t really encountered any.

Again, maybe it’s just me that sees something different than everyone else, as I never think of the individual consumer as being malicious - I really saw this as about being those that are actually in the factory farming business (whether as an employee or as a CEO.)
