Didn't watch past the chickens but i get the point.

People eat way too much meat.

These animals should have better circumstances when alive and i'm glad this shit is getting some attention around here. Also, makes them taste much better!

Ways of killing have been discussed last year around these parts when people wanted to ban ritual killing (halal) of animals because of it's inhumanity, funny when you watch something like that.

This is like the holocaust... Really moving footage. All driven by our hunger for meat. I don't think we should give up meat but should definitely eat far less of it. The problem is that farming is done on a far too large scale now and so little care is given to the animals. But anyway if we can, we should pay a little more and try to get our meat from organic sources, where they at least get a somewhat decent life. Also, i would prefer to go vegetarian than vegan, i can't go without milk or cheese or anything like that. But we can at least try to eat less meat anyway, we don't need it for nearly every meal.

Does anyone think someone who cares for animals would apply for a job like this?
Now also let go all people who expect a decent salary.
Now give the rest a quota and fire the ones that don't process enough animals a day.

have your camera ready

I've been buying meat from my wife's grandfather's farm. We're going farm totally farm raised here.

that is just outright plain cruelty!!

thankfully in my country we only eat what's been sacrificed in the islamic tradition which means: cut the throat with a sharp knife very fast so the animal will not suffer for a long time and after they have passed away then they start chopping the parts. not to mention the animals always gets treated kindly until...

its not the best way but its a long running tradition.

Thanks for the post. (except that last bit)

Firstly, it's not just 'veggies' that sit on their high horse. It's almost every human being who is part of some exclusive club. So in just the same way you shouldn't think someone is a 'white-superiority' believer just because he's white, one shouldn't think the same of someone who is following a meat-free diet.

The argument you are making has been done to death and it is completely without any reason. If you would like me to elucidate the differences between plants and animals then I'm sorry I don't have the time because it is a very, very long list. In fact, using the same argument one might as well proclaim the right to feed off 'lower' races of human beings.

One can make so many arguments.

But the fact is that any person who's lived with animals and grown up with a non-violent diet doesn't need to be told why eating animals is rather cruel.

Just say it tastes good and that's why you eat it, because arguing for something that has negative effects on your body, the economy, the planet's ecology and a myriad of things that I've discussed to death at university lectures is just plain ignorant. My best friend loves meat and I don't give a crap and we never argue. He knows for a fact that it would be better not to, but he likes doing it so he does.

I'm not on a high horse with regards to this subject.

You might wanna reread your posts.
