First of all, I think you are very talented in your photography and image editing skills, and that picture you worked on is absolutely amazing...Thank you for sharing it with us.
However, I have to say that, though I respect your feelings, people have always eaten meat, and probably always will...and most of the meat we eat comes from animals killed in slaughterhouses. I understand you're veggie, and that is your choice and should be respected, however, I don't believe people who choose to eat meat are doing anything wrong at all, and shouldn't be made to feel that way.
I don't know what sort of slaughterhouse this is, but I do know there are those where animals are killed in very inhumane ways...
... (and I am strongly against such slaughterhouses). At the same time, there are others that provide the animals with open green pastures to graze in freely, and kill them as humanely as possible, when it is their time.
For animal lovers, it is hard to witness such a place, so close to home, but it is reality, and throughout the world, people eat meat, animals eat meat, many of our pets eat meat. Its just how things are. I myself LOVE sheep, and would love to have one as a pet (though it is highly unlikely that will ever happen), but I do eat sheep meat at the same time, and see no reason to consider it 'wrong'.
Again, I respect your feelings, and the feelings that led you to make this picture. It truly shows your soft spot for animals. I just wanted to say that, just because it is a slaughterhouse, doesn't make it an 'evil' place. Someone out there has to do it to get food for people, and for our pets that NEED meat to survive. I do understand that it aches your heart though.
I don't intend to 'start' anything. Just wanted to share my feelings on this.
