Sorry, I wouldn't be turned vegetarian by seeing this. Sure, I love
vegetables. But I also love meat. Watching them being slaughtered
wouldn't change my opinion or my eating preferences.

Some people might recall the American PBS series 'Frontier House'.
Families take back to live life as it was in the 1880's. They had to
raise and kill animals (as well as plant crops) for food. They were
perhaps a bit squeamish about having to shoot Jo-Jo the pig but they all
chowed down on the meat in the end. I would have, too.
