I've killed and butchered fish and fowl, and I've seen pigs and sheep killed and butchered (by people who knew what they were doing--I think it would be cruel to subject a large animal to my incompetence as I battered it clumsily to death). I do think it's important for people who want to eat meat to understand and really own that it was once a living animal.
