The Death Diaries – Chapter 4

4.

Death is a big social taboo in modern society. We hide it away.

Our abattoirs are put in places where we never get to see what goes on.

It did not used to be like that. We used to rear and kill our own livestock. I remember my grandfather killing a chicken for Sunday lunch. I was only a kid of eight or nine. He held it on a chopping block and chopped its head off with one swipe of an axe. The chicken ran round and round the garden spurting blood from its severed neck. I remember my grandfather smiling. I must have looked shocked.

But that was death.
