Seriously, I grew up knowing where meat came from, and would witness plucking and/or gutting either when my mum was cooking, or when my relatives were cooking, or if my mum was at the old-fashioned market making the butcher do it for her. Kids take cues from grown-ups about what is normalcy, so I took it all in as normal. My experience is probably getting more and more rare considering how meat is sold nowadays - so deceptively sterile-looking!
