I knew someone who did overnight chicken catching (to get them from the barn into the truck to go off to slaughter) and lasted about twenty minutes. The straw was accidentally dropping a chicken two stories because of the time pressure; shit like that is commonplace in animal agriculture.
The crew lead told them it was fine and they could wait in the van until the end of the shift. He made a comment like, "yeah you have to have a bit of a screw loose to work a job like this."
That story sticks with me a lot when I think about the conditions for both labourers and animals that are necessary to get meat onto the table.
