Well I like meat. Sorry folks, I'm a carnivore; what can I say?

Fortunately, what meat I don't harvest myself I get from a local butcher who gets his product from local farms. So whether I'm dressing a deer or fileting a bass, or the guy down the road slices my bacon and sells me eggs, I know that it is done as humanely as possible.

Watching the pork video made me cringe. That type of cruelty is wanton and unnecessary. I hope that it showed the worst of the worst and that this type of thing isn't commonplace.

As far as the chicken grindage, I don't think there is any faster way to kill chickens. If there were, the industry would have picked up on it by now. In this case what's good for the company is, ironically, good for the chicken as well. The faster the company can kill the chicks, the more profit it can make; also, the faster the chicks are killed, the less they suffer. I'm pretty sure that the ground up chicks find their way into cat and dog food too, so nothing is wasted.

The problem I have with the poultry industry is something the video didn't cover - how those chickens that are kept to lay eggs and eventually be sold as breasts, strips, and nuggets live out their lives.



If the small farmer weren't nearly extinct, replaced by mega farming corporations, we wouldn't have these problems. There was a time when the majority of Americans were farmers, or in some way associated with farming. We've turned the responsibility for feeding us over to these corporations, whose only concern is their profit margin, and this is the price we pay; substandard food raised under questionable circumstances.

Grow your own. You'll feel better, both physically and spiritually.

To be honest, I'm ok with everything except the grinder and not checking the wash cycle. I'me far more upset with the workers being complacent. That can lead to mental problems down the road.

The debeaker seems find, because the chicks usually chip it off themselves, from what I know.

The rough handling is ok fine by me, because if you ever watch them in real life, mothers handle them just as the same. You've got to remember they used to be dinosaurs, and the ability to survive rough handling is still in there.

My problem with the grinder would be that they are awake when they get grinded. That is easy to fix.

My problem with the wash cycle is just that nobody cares. You should probably feel sad for things that die. That's indicative of mental problems for the workers. Clean up your mess, basically. Or like above, release a paralyze gas.


I've seen far worse at pig farms. This is hardly comparable to that. I'd hardly call it really animal abuse compared to pig farms.

can't empathise with something that looks yummy to me.


No name calling, as you can't help it. There is a parellel subspecie of human with a dead amygdala area. There are many threads in this forum about those. Psychologists say they are about one in every 25 persons, but my experience is, they are every one in two.
I don't wan't to die, but "humanity" needs to go, I think. Time for a planetary flea bath.
