I am vegetarian actually already, have been for most of my life.
I do agree with you on this one point, if you think cruelty to animals is wrong why do a lot of you still eat meat?
As much as I don't like the fate of an animal to end up at a slaughterhouse, I do enjoy meat a lot. Either or, I can't be bothered if you're gonna try and push across this vegetarianism crap. If you want to participate in it, then more power to you, but it doesn't make meat eaters hypcorites if they don't condone animal cruelty but enjoy eating meat.

while i don't believe they deserve jailtime or physical punishment i still think they should cut subsidies for that farm or at least fine them and put this on their permanent records so they can't get another job working with animals.
Honestly, I dont know what to say. You dont think they should be jailed for that?

as for those of u who "wanna punch them" - do you really think it's worth the assault charge and lawyer fees?
What lawyers fee? I would not even try to defend myself if I did something to those guys. I would just confess my crime and serve whatever sentence they gave me.
Life isnt all about me and my convenience or comfort. Some things are worth fighting for, no matter what it costs you. And personally, I think people who will torture the defenseless are the most cowardly, aberrant kinds of humans.

I disagree. I think it is our selfish desire to not see the truth for fear it will cause us personal discomfort is what allows evil to happen.
We need to look, we need to be sad, mad, whatever, because only then will we act to stop what it is that we have been choosing to ignore.
""Evil flourishes when good men do nothing."
—Edmund Burke
I would add to that, that "good" men do nothing because they dont want to allow themselves to be aware of the evil in the first place. Its pure selfishness on the part of the person who chooses not to become aware. If they arent aware then they dont suffer because of the suffering of others, and if they dont suffer because of the suffering of others, they dont have to do anything to stop it.
