I don't particularly believe the title, but I thought it was a fun idea. Yes, I used chocolate sauce, as real blood did not seem worth the time or effort (and i didn't have any readily available).
Levels, crop, brightness/contrast.

how many "too dark"s did you get? :) I love the mood of this image and the cropping and balance. I would have liked to have seen a little more specularity in the blades, tho. [7]
I think this is an absolutely brilliant idea. But I think the image lacks detail. Too much of the image looks burnt out. I feel that the top part of the image is a too dark. 7
Good idea and composition, just needs a little more punch on the lighting .What this lacks is some light on the edges of the knives, to give them a glint of sharpness. As it is, they could almost be paper cutouts. Really stark lighting would accent your idea.
The title does not leave a very good taste in my mouth like a good chunk of steak does....maybe some tofu taste. If God did not want us to eat animals, he would not have made them of meat.
Just my 2 cents...I do not want to get political or anything...at least, not much.
I wish the blades were brighter - I realize that you could very well have them dark intentionally, but I find a bright polished steel blade more sinister. Better light might also put more attention on the blood.
Interesting idea and execution (pardon the pun). I like the soft shadows but I think the composition would have benefitted if the light had been more iintense and the shadows "sharper."
