Do Most Animals Know They Are About To Be Slaughtered by WeJCKs(m): 3:36pm On Apr 10, 2021
I've been curious about this, do they know they are about to die?.

Does seeing the corpse of their companions make them sad or something?.

Especially for cows and goats?.

They Know and they are helpless They know they can't do anything, all their lives they've known they are controlled even if they run they'll still be caught so they lay there cause they ain't No use in Running. Now why I said this is Some of this Animals recognise themselves in a reflection and Recognise their owners we happen to rear some sheep back when I was younger, They recognize me and Recognize my voice I Got attached to my animals as they did to me, They feel pain and suffer but the Main reason why I believe they are aware is when of My Ram was gonna be slaughtered It was dragged out but was struggling and I went there myself and dragged it myself it was calm and followed me to the Point its gonna be ended, My bro came with his Knife and I moved back while the others Subdued the poor Ram at that Point I looked into its eyes I swear It looked at me directly and was shouting meeeeeehh Which I translated to Help me, it knew it was gonna be killed. When I stepped back it just stopped struggling and was just took it. I couldn't stay there I had to leave and felt the weight of what I did!

Toh Las Las I ate the meat sha!!!
but it pained me sad

No they don't, only few animals have the brain power to understand the concept of death... This include Elephants , Dogs and Dolphins

Kill a chicken and pour chicken feed like millet and corn mill around the dead bird, chickens would still come around to feed without any I'll feelings

Long Post Alert:

I kind of believe that some cows/bull know it. Maybe more research needs to be done on this issue.

Two incidents from the neighbourhood that I grew up in come in handy here. No stories. Real incidents here:

First... Incident 1: So, this guy used to live a few blocks away from our apartment. He was also a good friend of my father as our families attended the same church and all that.

Long story short, one day he was supposed to give one of his many daughters out in marriage and there was going to be a huge fest. We were invited and things like that.

Things got real when I walked past their compound the evening before the D-day and saw a really fat cow munching away on grasses and foliage. The gate was wide-open but the cow was tethered(that is tied up). No incident that day....

Then wedding day arrives and something really weird happened. The man had recruited some northerners to slaughter the cow and from what I was told, that was the game changer.

You know the regular rituals; the butchers were sharpening/preparing their butchering equipment right near the cow when all of a sudden, she started acting all erratic and, somehow, broke loose from the rope and made a swift dash for the gate which had been thrown wide-open to the guests.

The scene over there and around our neighbhood was really chaotic that day- wedding guests, everybody out on the road running helter-skelter. Up until that day, I had always imagined cows to be slow or sluggish but that day that cow proved me wrong.

Everybody just dey clear road for the Olympic 100 metres champion. It took the effort of some guys within the area and the professional butchers to get the cow back to the venue of the event and the struggle to stay alive did not end until she(the cow) died. That much I was told.

Believe it or not, the cow was captured in a near-by town(you can imagine the pandemonium there). As I was not in attendance at the wedding, I watched everything from the balcony of our building and I still recall every single bit of the chase.


I might be back with Incident 2 as soon as I am done with this Chelsea game. Can't focus right now. Can't promise anything for now. Might... might not... sad
