- Apparently, Caitlin, 95% of the global population eats flesh. That meants 95% are paying for daily murders of sentient beings. They can live with it because they are asleep in their ignorance but they'll suffer the SAME pain and torture done to every animals they partake in the eating IF THEY DON'T REPENT AND STOP EATING FLESH(and it doesn't matter if their repentence is a religious one or atheist, for that is just a name).

For each person in the morgue there is a family who is suffering,saddened,heartbroken. It takes a special kind of person to be able to handle that on a daily basis. Happy Monday to you! :)

The folks who clean up overripe corpses.

These are the people whose job it is to clean up if someone died and was not found, say, a recluse with no family.

Often they have to deal with partially liquified remains and worse.

- I have a friend who is a mortician. He was called to bring in a lady who had weighed over 300 lbs. and had been found dead in her home. She had been dead for over a week and was severely swollen. During the extraction of the body she "ruptured". He says it was the most horrible thing he has ever experienced. I don't doubt it for a second.

  The deceased person does not worry me, he/she is just a person who has died.
  
  I find it very sad when I have to arrange the Funeral with their loved ones.
  
  Sometimes, their are no loved ones, in which case I arrange a destitute Funeral Service for them. Either way, I treat all deceased persons with the same respect I would show a loved one of my own.
