Meat Industry Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The Meat Industry
Artificial meat is genuine meat.
I look forward till it is fully developed
And we can stop killing animals
I worked as a boy at an abattoir my
the job was to stir blood from slit throat into a bucket
so it didn`t coagulate the blood was later used
to make dumplings, which I refused to eat.
We will, however, have to reduce the cattle stock
and the farting cows in Holland will be no more.
There is something deeply immoral the way we
use animals for food they are living being capable
of thoughts - if primitive- and feel pain and pleasure
artificial made meat will set us free from our tendency
to the mass slaughter of the innocent
