no reason @ all to treat these animals like this. If this was on tv, i think most people would become a veggie.

i just cant see how some of us humans can willingly take a club to the head of a pig until it starts having seizures, while laughing their asses off.

You see those that have empathy for the death and pain and suffering of other species as animalistic huh? Well yes we are all animals. The difference is some of us animals are capable of empathy, and other animals such as yourself are not.

Somehow your twisted reasoning makes you believe mocking their suffering makes you a superior human. That is just sick and pathetic.

I don't have empathy for animals, true. People on the other hand, yes. I appearently have more empathy for humans than you, which I'll take any day over animals. Like I said, these animals would die anyways to a wolf, or a small farmer in some obscure country, and a lot of people would still find it wrong/disgusting, when it really shouldn't be. The small farmer and the wolf both need to eat...

Humans exist outside of nature? A wolf kills a cow, that's ok because its natural. But a human kills a cow, and its some demonic force outside of nature? Don't get it.

Absolutely disgusting that some people think our entire species should be exterminated. Yes we are evil to an extent but there is light in every shadow and even the smallest flicker of goodness in humanity is worth keeping it around.
And by the way i would rather consider myself an animal than be someone who cannot empathize with suffering of another creature. Usually i like to keep my views to myself out of fear of criticism but today i have been angered.

You know what i am against a farmer killing a creature to feed his family. What they can't ear fruit????
Funny how people think human life is so great and animals are so low when really the mind set of a lot of people today is no more developed than a cockroach.

Do you not see my point. If you are concerned with the suffering of animals, then how is it different for humans that are suffering in the majority of the world? You were born lucky, im sure your opinion would differentiate if you were living third world

How is any animal innocent? I have no idea how you define that, innocence isn't a factor in the circle of life. An animal won't avoid killing another animal just because they have some cutesy peach fuzz or whatever. So feeding for your family is ok, but what if you want leather for tools/clothing? Those are needed items. Take hunters that hunt deer, that's for entertainment. What is exactly wrong with that?

How can I stop eating meat? Veggie diet is expensive. And where can I get protein from? And why is meat so delicious?

I agree that the video is sickening. I feel for those animals. I've had to fight back tears. I had to skip some scenes.

So, what can we do? This is a massive industry and conspiracy. People will continue to buy and eat meat regardless of how much we fight. PETA folks are considered nutjobs, wackos, treehuggers, etc.

The abuse of animals probably came from the biblical concept of domination over animals. Anyone who believes in oneness of earth and consider all beings to be equal are consider wackos.

I'm gonna go eat me a big steak. Then I will drink the blood, after toasting it to all the tree huggers of the world.

We? I certainly don't.

As someone else pointed out, just because there are evil scum in this world doesn't mean that we should all die!!!

How naive, and a typical statement of immature teenager with all the solutions to all of our problems..... and how original you "hate the human race". When you are old enough, you'll see the error in your thinking.
