Great fucking job, the country which was seen as a symbol of modernization is rolling back to the 1920s.
He was 2 months from being 18...he wasn't 8 years old in a coal mine.

13?
How young do like your slaughterhouse workers?
13 isn't legal, 16 is legal. I'm confused here, are you suggesting that 16 year olds shouldn't be allowed to hold summer jobs?
I'm confused, are you suggesting that it is good when the animal industry kills 16 year old kids for profit and your cheap meat?
Are you suggesting that it's somehow worse when it's a 16 year old and not the fact that someone died?
Are you suggesting they should kill kids younger than 16? I work in hazardous environment and there are many machines and tools where you are required to be of legal age and in many cases have had training with those tools. Using kids to operate deadly machinery, especially if its a holiday job and kill or mutilate them on a regular basis would not fly in my industry. Maybe yours is tougher and I look like a crybaby to you but most of you who don't give a shit don't stay very long.
