Yes, meat packing plants employ RSO and more. MOO
I found this thesis paper at this link
http://scholar.colorado.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2157&context=honr_theses which gives some interesting facts on the people working at these places. Such as the WORK CONDITIONS section with facts such as,
"Slaughterhouses largely employ minorities of color with little to no education and
a limited knowledge of the language as “at-will” employees (employee can be let go at
any time) (Schlosser, 2002). About 38% of the employees are born outside of US and
according to Bureau of Labor Statistics no high school education is required for the entrylevel
positions, which provides a median pay of $11.21/hour or $23, 320 per year (2012).
Slaughterhouses have one of the highest employee turnover rates,".
In the PSYCHOLOGICAL section,
"Some employees even report killing animals “for fun” without feeling any remorse suggesting psychological damage to the extent of abnormal cruelty that would
generate concern amongst the general population (Dillard, 2008). " And even, "...workers either become very distressed and leave the job or become numb and begin to display signs of apathy and some even begin to enjoy the infliction of pain (Helle 2012).
Further this seems to confirm what we all have thought, "Lower empathy in slaughterhouse workers may be responsible for higher crime rates in neighborhoods where such facilities are located with
some of the homicides carried out in a manner of animal slaughtering practices (Dillard,
2008)
I'd not want to live near a meat packing plant (there are many near Delphi) for the above reasons. Nor near any state prisons since the families of murderers move to be near for visiting, then stay when the prisoner is released- and again there is one nearby. Delphi has been set up for disaster for a few years now. MOO.
