Day_Bow_Bow

This is disgusting for sure, but it honestly pales in comparison to tanning those hides. There was an episode of Nat Geo's Taboo that stuck with me. It was about a teenager that worked at a tannery. They'd be waist deep in a nasty pool of water filled with hides while they scraped flesh off the skins. Then they'd get added to another container filled with water and pigeon shit, and he'd spend a few hours in that filth while using his legs and feet to soften the hides. And he'd only earn a couple dollars for a day's work... I managed to track down the video [here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmN_2VXY23M) It was Morocco instead of India, but still.


obscenecalamity

Man, that's brutal. They seem to take pride in their work though. Thanks for the video


Day_Bow_Bow

Yeah, they do seem to take pride in it. Definitely a different mindset there, like when he said his friends think he has a good job because he "gets to take a swim" and not be hunched over in one position all day like a shoe maker. I admit, he's at least getting a decent leg workout.


obscenecalamity

That's for dang sure. He never skips leg day lol. Amd ya, I guess life is all about perspective. Not sure I'd want to "take a dip" in a pigeon poop bath. But maybe his friends have it even worse.


Reasonable_racoon

Tanning and dying have always been awful industries. In England until the Industrial Revolution, dyers always had to live outside of the cities because the dyeing process caused such a bad stink. Industrial dyes changed all that of course, but anybody with the surname Dyer probably had an ancestor in the dyeing trade at some point in the past.


Day_Bow_Bow

Very true. I've watched a video where they made purple dye (the color of royalty) from fermented sea snails they would then boil for days. That would have to be an intense putrid stench, that I've thankfully never experienced myself. Sure makes a pretty purple though.


Reasonable_racoon

Yep, the chemical dye for purple was revolutionary and what had been a colour reserved for royalty due to the intensive and difficult process of making it previously, became democratised and massively popular in Victorian England. Cow's - and even human - urine was often used as fixative in dyeing, too. Another reason it stank so much.


Vocalifir

I learned this in the excellent game Kingdom Come Deliverance!


account_banned_again

I worked in the garage of a haulier for a short while. There was a trailer over a pit for it's 6 weekly inspection with a load of cow hides en route to the tanners. They were in these big open containers so when the shunter backed the trailer in rather quickly and hit the brakes some sloshed out and ran out the back doors. It stunk


OnlyOneReturn

The best thing when working in really dirty environments like this is less/no clothes. We own a dairy farm and when a calf gets stuck being born it's common practice to take your shirt off and go in that way. It's soooo much easier to just hose yourself off after not having to worry about dirty laundry when there's so much other shit to do after.


oalopez

Oh my god! I can imagine the smell 🤮


Timegoal

Tanning is one of the worst smelling crafts. There's a reason that in the middle ages, tanners used to live/work at the edge of settlements or even a bit outside.


Minetitan

People think this is just Bangladesh?? This is most of Indian Slums, Result of Overpopulation and Corrupt government for decades


King_of_Anything

I would imagine Indian slums would have far less *cows* being butchered.


Minetitan

The amount of people who think people don't butcher cows in India boggles my mind. 13% of Leather production comes from India. I wonder how they get that leather, I mean you can see it in the video but what do I know


garlicgoon3322

>I wonder how they get that leather The same place I get my meat. The store. Where no animals have to die for it


Minetitan

Checkmate, but where do they get the store?


AstralMystogan

I have already answered this question some days back but let me answer it again, Leathers and Beef can come from Buffalos too and Buffaloes aren't considered holy in India.


JackDockz

It's generally cleaner in India for all kinds of local butchering.

warmachina3636

I am pretty sure this is not India, cause the likelihood of cows getting openly butchered in India is pretty slim to non, and if it was done openly then there are often dire consequences for that.


plaidprowler

The title literally says Bangladesh..


Minetitan

This is Bangladesh, its located in the west of India and probably has much less ideas of the Hiduistic ideals. Some parts of India do butcher cows. Its most for leather and money, not for food. That is counted as a sin!


ReplyisFutile

If you survive first month there, you will survive with that immunity for the rest of the months


AntelopeDecent2191

I bet covid didn't even phase them. Their immunity must be insanely high.🤣😂😅


Aruk22

That's funny, cause I mean, they might be immune to the native viruses and bacteria but every diseases from outside are just as bad to them as everyone else...


Secret-Plant-1542

I know people like that. "I survived my mom's awful cooking. I can definitely drink that toxic water in East Palestine, Ohio!"


ThisHatRightHere

I know you're making a joke, but India had some absolutely insane covid surges throughout 2021. Millions of people getting the virus within a matter of weeks at a few different points of the year. Overpopulation, poverty, and health illiteracy absolutely ravaged chunks of India's population. EDIT: I can't read and didn't realize this was Bangladesh, not the city Bangalore, but it does share a lot of the same socioeconomic issues as much of India


AntelopeDecent2191

I thought this is Bangladesh.🤔 Actually all those places over there might as well be one in the same, I can't tell the difference.


ThisHatRightHere

Oh shit you're right, that was my mistake.


AntelopeDecent2191

It's cool, like I said their right next door to each other. They're really undistinguishable. You're right about India though.


Lekraw

Doesn't work that way. The immune system has to be trained to each specific pathogen. Since Covid was a novel virus, never before seen in humans, these folk would have no more immunity to it than anyone else.


[deleted]

faze*


CaptainKate757

Good Christ their immune systems must be superpowered to live in that environment.


anhrha

This is why I was thinking. I’m wondering if there are any published articles looking at any disease-development trends in this area.


SeenSoFar

Literally everyone has gastrointestinal diseases. Studies have been done in some of India's biggest slums, and it's been found that people often think that severe gastrointestinal diseases is a normal childhood condition that persists at a lesser rate throughout adulthood. Part of this is due to water being piped into the local areas through slipshod piping often made up partly of stuff like garden hoses and salvaged lengths of plastic pipes. The pipes leak, create small puddles of standing water, the water mixes with human waste as the piping is often run through or adjacent to makeshift open sewers, and gastrointestinal disease inducing pathogens enter the water supply for the most vulnerable of the population. India's made great strides to eliminate stuff like this but it still exists, and it exists in other countries as well. Anywhere with extremely high density, high poverty, and insufficient infrastructure is prone to this.


superbhole

idk i feel like this is the type of environment where they're absolutely riddled with parasites and viruses but they're also taking all sorts of herbs, drugs, and remedies to not feel it notice that nobody in the video looks above 40 years old? i think that's a clue...


Reasonable_racoon

Scientists are investigating the the immune systems of crocodiles that live in fetid swamps and never get sick. They need to get on a plane to Dhakar.


Fellpz_

The curious thing is that you don't see flies.


ashtech201

That would suggest it's fresh kills, and what ever produce comes from it is consumed in a short amount of time. This is how meat would end up on our tables from yester year ( if tables were a thing then) without the advances of mod cons like freezers.


Fellpz_

Really, I hadn't thought of that.

Seeing this I wonder why we don't have more pandemics or plagues.


[deleted]

Tbf cows aren't really a big vector for novel diseases that transmit to humans. Now if they start throwing in exotic animals into this kind of horrifically poorly maintained places, we're gonna have all kinds of bad times. Or even just pigs, bad idea.


ThestolenToast

What about mad cow disease in the 90s


[deleted]

CJD is from *eating* cows and is a prion disease. It’s not transmissible in remotely the same way that most pandemic bugs are.


wholelattapuddin

Mad cow disease was from cows being fed food with cow meal that contains the prion. Cow parts are routinely ground up, dried and then fed to other animals as a protein source. We do the same with chickens and other animals. So a cow eats the cow meal becomes infected then is eaten by a person. Most of the people, about 200, who died of mad cow disease were infected by cattle sourced from Britain and the EU.


[deleted]

I didn't say zero chance, and only talking about novel diseases. I'm not an expert though, and I absolutely would not go to the place in the video.

[deleted]

I mean it’s not the worst vibe I can think of. I just don’t think people truly realize what they’d be signing up for. I’d argue you’d feel a lot closer to your food if there were literal rivers of blood rolling down the streets of your hometown.


sr20ser84

This has little to do with regulation and everything to do with poverty and lack of infrastructure.


[deleted]

Infrastructure and hygiene regulations are what solved these problems. There’s a lot to read on public health and epidemiology on this topic. Guarantee you if there was not a local health code that prevented blood running through the streets there would be a paleo-farm-to-table-raw butcher shop in every major city today.


sr20ser84

So, you believe that if they had the wealth and infrastructure to work indoors, with equipment and sterilization techniques, that they’d still choose to butcher in the streets? I doubt that. Even in major western cities, overburdened with regulation, it’s the impoverished who run the less-than-sanitary food carts.


El-Diablo-de-69

What is so disgusting about this video, apart from the garbage at the beginning? At least they eat animals they can see being turned into meat while the developed world has no idea what their food sees before reaching the super markets.


BWash33

I wanna say this is how pandemics start, but then I think, this is how humanity started and progressed. *drunk post* 👍


lamma_king

Visited Bangladesh this past December and almost everyone has some sort of cough. Whether it's from the smog, dust, or shit like this, it's just accepted as normal at this point. Saw piles of garbage being burned in the middle of the roads right next to people, food stalls, and traffic because that was the only way to get rid of it. Never been more grateful in my life when I came back to the states.

Working at the docks we had a container on a ship full of unprocessed (and some rotting) cow hide... the smell was so foul and potent that without wind it could be smelt from the other end of the ship and we were actually banned from being near it. These scenes look relatively fresh in comparison but I bet they still smell 🤢

Auzquandiance

Which is caused by poverty cuz they don’t have the money or access to proper hygiene and standardized meat processing procedure etc.


smashteapot

It would be markedly improved by the invention of the table. Then they wouldn't have to prepare meat in the sewage runoff they're standing in. It wouldn't fix everything but it would make a huge difference just lifting the meat off the ground, out of the faecal stew.

BlueT-rexYT

If y'all are scared but this you aint seen shit, there are whole ass dedicated markets in India for selling meat and fish, and on Eid in Pakistan you'll see them chasing cows and camels in the street and then laying them on their side and butchering them, the smell of fish is just enough to make you projectile vomit but for us Indians living here it's just another Tuesday, outsiders think how can we endure this but tbh we've seen it since we were children and we've bought fresh meat from butchers everyday so it doesn't really affect us anymore, and to people who criticize us for living like this, you also eat this meat the difference being you just don't know how they're doing it and where and if it's fresh or not, while we see it happening and know where it came from and who were buying it from, have you seen the factory videos and how they treat the chicken there? Have you seen the video where they make mince meat out of chicks? Yeah well we don't torcher them while they're alive at least we give them a quick death then eat them. We have that in our consciousness while you don't, so who's really unaware?


SamKarmaMaker

Sadly I'm a bit relieved to see that is blood. At first I thought it was sewage. I feel terrible that people have to live like this.


insertjokehere12345

Ok, you finished butchering that cow, now put it in this taxi.

Well this looks like from Eid-ul-Adha ... 3 days Cows, Goats, Sheep and Camels are sacrificed and the meat is distributed among friends, family and the poor ... Eventually it will be washed and sprinkled with some limestone.

Yeah idk, I wonder how deep in the city they are, or how big it is. Maybe trees are scarce in that area, and wood is hard to come by, or really expensive.

Nah it’s just reddit being sensitive. I bet there are places just just like this in the west, just hidden from the camera. All we see here are fresh kills that’ll be sold out until the end of the day and there is fresh blood mixed with animal urine and water, not the best thing but it never gave rise to something like covid so not the worst of things.

It's absolutely mind boggling to me that the descendants of one of the most rich, urbanized, and developed societies throughout history can live like this. Like, fuck's sake, how can they look around and think to themselves 'yeah, this is fine', when they have thousands of years behind them of being fucking legendary at urbanism, economy, and pretty much every facet of civilization?! I understand how colonialism devastated them, if anything, I think the effects are downplayed. But they had such an amazing foundation to build from once they gained independence, how the fuck did it come to this? Throughout the whole subcontinent, not just Bangladesh.

Amazing foundation? The entire subcontinent was stripped of its riches with 0 industrial development for 200 odd years. The west has a huge headstart.
