You should watch this because its really important. Its really sad but if you watch what happens and feel something, you should say something about it. I love meat as much as the next person but this just made me so pissed of and upset. I love animals, and seeing that is just a horrible inhumane thing. It makes me want to eat healthy vegan food for the rest of my life. I dont think im crazy for thinking that whats on that video shouldnt be happening. I know i wouldnt like that to happen to me..

[julialovesgiraffes]

That's why I'm a vegetarian.

[julialovesgiraffes]

That's why I'm a vegetarian. Plus there is plenty of substitute meat, that is healthier and tastes the same, if not better.

[Schadenfreude-]

^ Why not be a vegan?

[Lastame]

I totally understand. Im not eating that any more, i just cant stand it.

[Dioz]

I enjoy a fry up every weekend. Sausages, Rashers, Puddings. All good stuff.

I've seen slaughter houses. Couldnt care less. I like a good proper burger straight off the BBQ.

[Lastame]

And i couldnt care less about your opinion

[Ollie_94]

That is terrible and some of those actions are completely inappropriate but the processing of animals has to be done as we have eat. They aren't going to sacrifice themselves.

[Lastame]

Yeah i mean if they are going to do it then do it right. Its just stupid. And i read on something that mostly criminals work in slaughter houses, that doesnt make any sense, they have fun doing that.

[hovla]

just skimmed through the video, some things were fucked up but some were usual practices so i dont know why they put it in there as something extra ordinary.

I wont stop eating meat from seeing this, also being vegan/vegetarian has its own consequences both on personal health and environment.

It's unfortunate, but these animals are bred specifically for consumption. The manner of killing them can indeed be more humane but everything in life will always have flaws.

[julialovesgiraffes]

It's a little bit more then just a flaw hun. These are fucked up, concienceless people, and no matter how you put it, it is cruel and wrong the way they masacar animals. There is absolutely no excuse for it. It might be more expensinve and take more planning, but they're able to process the animals humanely.

[Lastame]

I agree with julia. And they may be usual practices but thats not how it should be. If they are to be killed it needs to be less than a second, no pain. Sometimes the chickens are scolded alive if they arent killed right. The cows and pigs and sheep, are usually just paralyzed and they can still feel everything being done until bled out. They are being shoved full of steroids to grow faster and bigger, hit and yelled at, spend their last days in a cage where they can hardly move, they arent fed properly, and they get sick and infectious when they arent taking care of. God didnt make animals for consumption, thats what the fruits of the earth are for. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, theres plenty of better things out there to eat.

Finally a level headed person who has the same way of thinking as myself.

Julia your spelling and grammar are atrocious.

[julialovesgiraffes]

One, you're a dumb ass and a random man on the internet that I could care less about what you think.
Two, I have seen numerous posts from you where you sounded like a total redneck.
Three, that last post had no mistakes.
Four, I'm on a phone, a cheap one at that, that has teany little buttons and corrects words all the time.
And five, you obviously have no life to point out such a stupid thing that doesn't pertain, in any way, what so ever, to the thread.

[I_Am_Once_Was]

That settles it. XsrdX22, julialovesgiraffes, clearly this dispute can only be settled by an internet argument.

thats actually bullshit. Cattle is stunned into unconsciousness before being bled out. They can hardly feel any pain at that point.They die in their sleep if you would like to think about it that way.

You get so angry over things people say to you on the internet.

Animal standards are extremely high in Ireland and the UK, afaik, since thats where most of the meat purcahsed here comes from.

I dont know about mainland europe. But America is quite bad for animal standards.

Eitherway, the animal dies, we eat it. Circle of life. Having a few sausages right now though. Mm.
