Jesus Christ.. I think this is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen. http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?video=mym2002&Player=wm&speed=_med I don't understand how people can just ignore this and continue eating meat. It makes me sick just thinking about it.
what's that a video of? i've seen quite a few of their videos.. I'm not sure if I'm up for another one
the only meat i would ever eat is human! ive been vegetarian for a long time...but i dont know how i would start going vegan..i really want to though
I've been a vegetarian for quite awhile as well. I've finally decided to go vegan though. I'm just going to start cutting out all animal by-products and replacing them with alternatives. It'll take some getting used to, but not too hard after awhile. Good luck to you when you decide to.
That was the saddest video I've ever seen.....and the pig's screaming somewhere in that movie was the most horrific sound I've ever heard.
I've seen that before, very disturbing. Would have changed my mind, but it was preaching to the converted. Of course most omnis are too ignorant and/or selfish to give a rats ass. Apparently steak tasting good is perfect justification for the cruelty of factory farms and slaughter houses. I have to live with these people, they're my parents.
I don't know how they can just.. not care. You give them the facts, you show them what happens, but all they care about is what brand of steak sauce to get, and who can eat the most meat from as many different animals in one sitting. They refuse to take responsibility and looks at what's shown to them because it might interfere with their dinners.
Let's not forget that meaty, junky shit is the cheapest food around. Is obesity the number one cause of death yet?
I'm with Lucifer Sam on this one, and i jknow i may get a bit of flack for what im about to say so here goes... WTF? I bet some of that footage was shot at horrible meat farms that were shut down....And about all the things Peta says on their website...Most NOT FUCKIN TRUE...I can see not eating meat cause you think it is wrong or because yuo are trying to keep the weight down or just cause you can't eat it, but "Meat causes impotence"..."Meat causes cancer" Full out blatent propoghanda.....People have been eating met scince the dawn of man, if it made us impotent then there would be absolutly non of us here...And ANYTHING can cause cancer.....And about what they say about fishing and fish feel pain in their mouths, How could that be true if they eat rayfish and spiny finned fishes...do they remove it with their tiny shell crackers...NO they fucking eat them whole.. Peta did a "conclusive" test showing they are right, they injected a fish with a water solution into their mouth, did nothing, salene (salt) solution, did nothing...Bee Venom? (WTF) they whent crazy...conclusion Peta is crazy!!!!! I hate Peta..I like meat, I hunt, kill, and butcher my own meat...mmmmmmmm deer..., one of the most fat free high protein foods around.mmmmmmm (ps- the only reason beef is so high in fat is cause the butchers dont take the time to clean off the fat when cutting it up...) If i had one goal in life, I'd like to take down Peta (although i don't like fur for clothing)... Peace Out...
[Burbot Most NOT FUCKIN TRUE... Give some examples and I bet I can prove you wrong with scientifically-backed facts. "Meat causes impotence"... This has been proven, from pesticides and their own shit which they lay in, along with other factors. "Meat causes cancer" This has been proven also...ever hear of nitrates? They will fuck you up. People have been eating met scince the dawn of man, if it made us impotent then there would be absolutly non of us here... Meat back then wasn't poisoned like it is now. Peta did a "conclusive" test showing they are right, they injected a fish with a water solution into their mouth, did nothing, salene (salt) solution, did nothing...Bee Venom? (WTF) they whent crazy...conclusion Peta is crazy!!!!! No, conclusion is that fish are affected by bee venom. I hate Peta.. We hate you too. I like meat, I hunt, kill, and butcher my own meat... Fuck you, you heartless bitch. mmmmmmmm deer..., If I were anywhere close to you right now I would strangle you. If i had one goal in life, I'd like to take down Peta (although i don't like fur for clothing)... I am a member of PETA, and this will never happen. Go fuck yourself you disgusting carnivoric pig.
One other thing...I eat lots of meat... 1. Im not impotent 2. I don't have cancer 3. I am not obese/overweight (i am acctually underweight) 4. I have a normal blood pressure/ pulse rate 5. If it was so bad for us the governemnt/ or a third party would make recomendations to the government (such as a food safety council). And because I've been hearing lots about this film (Supersize Me) lately, and all the poeple saying how bad Mc Dicks is, I have this to say, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT...each big mac has 500+ calories...duh... And the thing about the bee vemom, thats why they say fishing hurts fish, ive had fish on my line, with slack, and they sit there, and show no signs of pain...And they also say "WWJD" about fishing, i don't think thats right either, if im not misteaken, He commended fishing, and encouraged it...(correct me if im wrong) but whatever.....i don't care... And what all the flack about meat and milk and premature peuberty in girls, maybe its cause they are fat, cause thats how our body works...(but sometimes it is just a horomone/genetic thing)
You are generalizing about meat eaters. I do not pretend that all vegitarians are self-righteous, tofu-obsessed freaks, so don't pretend all meat-eaters only care about what brand of steak sauce to get. Let me explain it this way: I am NOT in denial. I know that animals are tortured in slaughter houses. But NO ONE can care passionately about EVERYTHING. I prefer to spend my energy focusing on human rights and human causes. Animals simply do not interest me. I do not go out of my way to torture them, nor have I ever directly mistreated an animal. But there are so many products out there that are created from abuse (both animal and human rights abuses) that trying to boycott all of them is rediculous and ineffective. Humans interest me, animals...not so much. Oh, one more thing: Please don't believe that bullshit that becoming a vegitarian will end world hunger. There ALREADY is enough GRAIN alone on Earth to provide all six billion of us with 2,700 calories a day. World hunger is caused by poverty and a fucked up system of distribution, not by meat eaters.
Right on Strawberry....and to clear things up, when i hunt, i can effectivly kill the animal in one clean shot, which minimizes the suffering, and it also controls the animal populations...
