Wieso möchten manche Menschen Metzger werden?
Diese Frage stellt sich mir schon sehr lange… Ich verurteile natürlich niemanden, der sich für diesen Beruf entschieden hat und möchte meine Frage damit ganz neutral an diejenigen richten, die eine Antwort darauf haben: Was ist die Motivation dahinter, Metzger zu werden und damit jeden Tag entweder Tiere zu töten oder weiterzuverarbeiten?
It’s a lot more about killing animals. Metzgern is still a craft with a lot of tradition. It’s just nice to see what you can conjure from a piece of meat. How diverse this food is, how many traditions are associated with it and what values are still behind it. I’m telling you, a carpenter doesn’t like cutting boards. But the final result, the process up to a ready-to-measure cabinet is just something you can get excited about. And it’s not different from Metzgern. It is also a very safe profession and an honest activity.
I myself am not a butcher, but in my environment, there are several people. Many still call it a reason that it is difficult to find even good slaughterers who also look at animal welfare. They don’t like to give their animals in rough hands. That’s why they do it themselves. And I can only confirm that impression.
Who says they want to be?
Some make it a tradition. Many do this, however, also because they are simply qualified and want to have a safe job. a relatively well paid.
And then, of course, there are still people who, for example, want to open a juice and, for example, want to produce particularly high-quality goods.
At least it’ll be about killing animals.
The profession of the butcher is a completely normal, ancient profession which exists in more or less equal form in all cultures.
He was and is as necessary as once that of the forging, the miller, the tailor, etc. and belonged to the everyday life of any specialized society.
The animals that a butcher has to kill are not destined, but have been bred for the diet of people. Killing them is not an arbitrary act of low motives, but a service for the customers of the butcher. The butcher does not massacre the slaughter animal, he does not pick it up, he does not graze at the gutter, but runs his craft according to ancient craft rules. Butchers also pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, not only because of the laws, but in the very good interest.
Only the processing of meat to fine sausage goods, as an example, is a true art. If there are no professional butchers, people who like to eat meat could not be sure what they buy there. A butcher can be proud of his craft.
Someone will be guaranteed that there are too many negative examples. Right. But there has always been charlatane and fraud in other professions.
It is an equally honourable profession as everyone else is. The problem that the butcher’s profession of a few, I stress a few, put into a strange light, is the snowflake mentality of today’s Das-Live-Soll-A-Ponyhof-sein-Society.
A butcher does not necessarily kill animals. It can disassemble farm animals professionally and prepare them as food.
A well-known lawyer and hunter has learned the butcher’s handicraft with over 50 years, with a final exam and a secret letter.
So he can professionally dismantle the shot wild.
The killing of wild animals is not bad by se, it is necessary.
I think you have the mass animal husbandry / slaughter and disintegration with Metzger. These are mostly healed forces and shows a threat.
Just the same reason why you want to become a pilot, a doctor or a racer: interest.
Look, here you are (also) about the aspect:
A craft, with tradition and future.
I already asked myself the question. Because: A mechanic likes to screw around cars or vehicles, a baker likes to bake bread and the like, a racer likes to drive fast car and so on. And a butcher? Do you like killing animals? Does a living like a food?
No question. The profession itself is important and it is good that there are people who do it. But is a butcher in the morning looking forward to killing an animal?
