An autistic woman, can't remember her name, was responsible for designing a
slauterhouse entry for cows and bulls specificaly becouse they were very
anxious and were making a mess of things etc.
All slaughterhouses now use this technique which involves a soft surounding
which "hugs" the animal making it feel more secure.
I heard an interview with her on NPR.
So, yes, they do know what is about to happen to them, It's not going to stop
me from eating them though.
