Undercover Video Gives the Dirt on Pigs in Factory Farms

You're crazy.

Up your's apeboy.

Yeah, a farmer. Ever slaughtered animals, Philly? Or do you just eat meat with sanctimonious pleasure?

I eat meat with a certain level of guilt. That video probably put me off meat again. I'm not opposed to killing animals for food or for sport. I have a bit of an issue, though, with just picking up baby animals and slamming their heads until their skulls break. And cutting their tails off while they are alive and running about seems a bit on the cruel and unnecessary side to me.

No guilt here, we just got done having chicken legs I did on the grill.

When the little bastids tried to run away I just threw em back on. :)

I watched some PETA video while sitting here with my big cuddly brown eyed Rottweiler. It was messing me up to think about killing Elsie, but then my doggie was supposed to be eating meat. Truth be told, she'd be happy as a pig in mud if I had given her mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots every day. I'm not sure she actually required meat or would have a clue how to go get some if on her own.

By the way, one of the versions of my homemade black bean and rice burgers, if cooked just right has the same texture and a similar flavor of scrapple.

Make your beans and rice taste like this!

I think I would be fine removing meat from my diet. It's that 4th of July barbq that makes me fall off the wagon.:(

I found it wasn't that difficult. But I only eat it about once or twice a week anyway.

Damn that looks good. Rare, yum

I slaughterhouse that kills cows shoots them in the head, a bullet to the brain would probably be less traumatizing.
Honestly, I don't have the answer. I think pain should be minimized, as much as possible to any living creature, even if that creature is going to end up on your dinner plate. Call me crazy.

So being trucked 500+ miles from your home, marched up a line, seeing those infront drop is less traumatizing?
