>>Also the regret he felt after killing the animal.

I feel like a lot of people would benefit from knowing the cost behind meat production. I eat meat, but growing up on a farm in the "old days" when you could still do this soft of thing, I have witnessed a pig being killed by literally stabbing it in the neck through the artery and waiting until it bleeds out, and then gutting it within minutes after death while the flesh is still warm. The whole process made you very aware of what goes into making a sausage or a porkchop and appreciate it a lot more, and nowadays I get upset about wasting food in general.
