Slaughter House Visit



          To know more about slaughtering, our professor organized a visit in a slaughterhouse in Trece Martires City. We were two groups scheduled to go that night. I can sense that everyone was excited, including me. We waited for each and everyone and as i've remembered, we arrived there past seven o'clock in the evening.



           Before the slaughtering process takes place, we wore our boots and masks for avoidance of contamination. As slaughtering process were conducted by the butchers, our professor discussed the different areas in the slaughter house, the step-by-step procedures and how these were done, the different parts of the carcass, some considerations that should be remembered, and the list goes on. It was like we were having this sort of simple lecture with an actual presentation, which was really a spectacular one. It might be a bit disgusting sight to see for others but for us, students, it's alright because it's really a part for us to learn more, and to be educated not just in the four corners of the classroom, but literally, even in a slaughter house as well. In fact, it's really a memorable one.


          It's almost midnight when we left. Me and some of my classmates slept over in our professor's unit. At that time, even though i admit that we're a bit sleepy and exhausted afterwards, all i can say was the visit in the slaughter house was simply amazing, enjoying and educational. It was probably one of the most unforgettable experience in my life.
