Re:"Not very good"? Well, like you patrickU...

I would suggest taking another look at Le Sang descriptions first. Although... modern times have changed our perception. A few weeks ago someone posted links on Outside to the Russian web site, where they contained absolutely graphic videos of Chechen rebels depacitating Russian soldiers with butcher knife. None of that sanitized CNN stuff, just the videos taken by the savages, of torture, mutulation... I was able to sit through one, probably one of the most gruesom videos, others there could not even do that much.

The real question is - should normal humans subject themselves to such gore? In Le Sang it is not really cruelty (is a slaugherhouse really cruel? Are we canibals?), but the net result is the same.

At any rate, I am inclined to take such things in ***severe*** moderation, as they do tend to throw me off balance.

BTW... When I was about 17 I had to go to the real slaughterhouse, in a small town, so it was not really mechanized, and perhaps as real as it ever gets.

For some reason I do not recall being shaken that much, even though I watched them process several animals from beginning to the end, washing the floor. In some respect it was even fascinating, and definitely more educational... like watching brain surgery from 4 feet years later.

Then why do those images disturb us more when they are presented on screen?
