I fail to see a bias or misdirection in the 10 photographs under discussion. The photographs present the visual reality of killing and processing animals in an industrial plant. In my past; I've worked on a farm slaughtered free range chickens; and hunted and slaughtered game birds. I've also been present at the butchering of deer; and photographed beef and poultry processing plants. Blood, saws and knives are certainly part of those processes. The photographs say nothing about whether to eat animals or not to eat animals. You, on the other hand, bring a strong religious POV to the discussion; citing texts, transcribed from oral traditions, a couple thousand years old as an argument in favor of eating animals. This feels, to me, much more like propaganda than the 10 photographs under discussion.
