blood + gore

Used to be blood and beastial sex was a common experience for those living on animal farms. And prior to agriculture, for 99% of our 100,000 years as modern homo sapiens, we have slaughtered and cut up animals for survival.

No longer do we "civilized folk" see animals doing what comes natural in the fields and barn, nor do we participate in killing and butchering of animals.

You might think we would miss it? And we probably do.

Some say this explains our fascination, even obsession with violent movies and pornography. We just aren't getting enough of that good old, everyday hunter gore. Not enough bloody birthing cows. Not enough neighborhood roasts.

Could explain a lot.
