FWIW, I figured out why I had a disturbed reaction to this, and it actually doesn't apply in most cases. (So it was useful to realize.) ((The only person I know who was exposed to animal-slaughter and dressing was exposed to it in a context of violent domestic abuse; because of that context, there was an implicit threat -- "look what I did to *this* animal..."))
I think in a loving setting, learning that animals die so we can eat, and we should take the best care we can to make sure that's no more awful for them than it has to be, and then use every single part of the animal we can (and here's how!) is a very very good thing :)
