Sorry. . .I have to agree here. I grew up fishing my whole life. I've never seen one "soaked with blood and guts" after cleaning it. In fact there is usually very little blood at all. I don't think I would be able to field dress a deer, maybe that would be different if I grew up hunting, but gutting and cleaning a fish is no problem.

My mom grew up on a farm, and yes I've seen chickens get there necks wrung and I've plucked my share of them. You have to remember that it's only been a few generations since people had to kill and clean what they eat. I didn't think the video was that bad. It's just a fact of life.
