Unfortunately, there are people like my friends who specifically have dietary restrictions forcing them onto Keto (meat) diets. So the "it's bad for individual health" falls apart in the face of a diverse human population. The fantasy solution would probably end in them starving to death, or make them victims of Chronic Unscheduled Intestinal Liquidation.

Also, just from an animal cruelty standpoint. Making an amateur kill a live animal, with a knife? That is just incredibly cruel and unethical. I don't think that idea is compatible with the philosophy you espoused earlier.

I've been to a camp that made us do that for dinner. It was messy and prolonged the animal's suffering. Some of our more religious fellows also refused to eat it, since the culling wasn't done properly in accordance to their beliefs.

The specific choice of a knife would definitely increase suffering compared to the more humane standard methods used in small and large scale agriculture. What’s the point here, to make someone inflict pain and suffering as punishment for the transgression of eating meat?

If the point is to gross someone out, have them field dress or gut for a few hours.
