Slaughterhouse in Hukuntsi
Above is a photo of Tsepi. He works with the family I am temporarily staying with (until my house is ready). Every week they have to slaughter goats for the shop. I am a strict vegetarian. I still get a little uneasy when they are killed; but it is incredible to me how ethical the meat industry is here in comparison to the United States. All of the animals I have come across (which is a ton. I cannot tell you how many times I have been to the cattle post to see peoples animals, usually cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, and sometimes beautiful horses) live very happy lives up until they are slaughtered. This does not mean I want to start eating meat again, but I do appreciate their ability to roam and graze freely until their time is up instead of being pumped full of hormones and kept in tiny cages while they wait for their turn down the assembly line.
Homes in Hukuntsi
The home on the left is a very typical home in Botswana. The home of the right totally shocked me when I saw it because most of the homes are fairly nice. If you are a new PCV (in the DAC program, but CCB also sometimes have government housing) you will likely have a government house which are very nice, and most have electricity and running water.
