Geez, I'd forgotten the gutting. I guess I missed that part. I really have a new appreciation of grandma now. They did cows too, though mercifully never in my presence. And my rabbit "ran away" and I later found out he was that lovely chicken dinner. Ah, the life of a farmer's wife. She made it all look so easy.
I've gutted fishes but nothing bigger. I mostly found it interesting, except for the catfish. The catfish seemed to have a reproachful face.
I did the requisite pig and rat in high school. My teacher wouldn't buy conscientous objecter status, though I tried. It bothered me some but not as much as I had thought, because it was hard to believe those formaldahyde filled things were ever alive.
