I ask because many many years ago my brother worked at a packing plant in Toronto and he took me for a tour of the facilities and he told me he wasn't allowed to take me on to the kill floor. I have always assumed he was telling the truth and that was pretty well common practice in the industry... ie not allowing visitors to watch cattle being killed.

They take you there your first day of orientation.

Any tours I have seen or heard of, have gone into the kill floor. Additionally, a small portion (gutting table) is visible from the main office mezzanine.

Normally they don't show the actual knocking though.
