Exactly. It's just that the blood doesn't usually run in village streets from packing plant. The killing yards in the US are isolated from the eyes of the general populace, there even are laws in various states prohibiting recording what goes on there.
I like (recently) slaughtered meat, but if it ever becomes viable, I'll be right there in front of the supermarket line instead choosing in vitro kobe beef chucks, or maybe in vitro polar bear liver. You'll know exactly what was used to grow it and no animal had to be gutted and drained of blood to get to it.
