you kind of making a leap of logic though. there may be other explanations for why slaughterhouse workers experience psychological distress. it could be socioeconomic. it may be some other conditioning. your explanation amounts to post hoc ergo propter hoc
We can eliminate other explanations by looking at workers in similar socioeconomic circumstances that perform similar work.
Based on pay, they make about as much as other packing, manufacturing, and warehouse workers. It’s indoor bluecollar work. Yet they experience far more psychological distress than other workers.
Here’s another data point: when a new slaughterhouse opens in a community, rates of violence and crime rates go up. The same doesn’t happen when a new manufacturing plant, packaging plant, or warehouse opens.
you aren’t controlling for every possible alternative. for instance, a less media saturated culture with fewer depictions of anthropomorphism might not have this issue. you’re simply choosing to believe it’s an inherent problem with the process.
that’s a strawman. i’m raising one possible explanation that you hadn’t even considered (much less explored), and there are likely an infinite number of them.
Are you a fucking Psychopath? Do you not understand that people would get affected by murdering others every day, day after day? Seeing that shit affects people. Maybe not you, clearly.

It seems trivially obvious. 🤷♀️
