Why doesn't Farmville let you buy an Abattoir?

What am I supposed to do with all these cows?

"No blood: Perhaps this part of the game was done to appease all the militant vegetarians out there, but, last time I checked, most farms do not raise turkeys and geese for their feathers. Pigs do not spontaneously produce or find truffles. And I have yet to see a successful business plan based around “brushing” calves and lambs. These animals are raised for meat, and they do not evolve naturally into foam and plastic packets of boneless protein. They must be slaughtered and butchered, but you won’t find a single abattoir listed among the houses and barns offered for sale in Farmville. This also avoids another thorny issue of modern animal husbandry – antibiotic overdose. If PETA wasn’t so out of touch, it might have developed a Farmville satire, showing the real life of a food animal, instead of its clumsy attack on Cooking Mama."
