The video reveals something important about the human condition. And that is when we look at things as black and white we start to suffer. It's almost impossible for all of us to not eat meat. The video should be focusing on the harsh treatment of animals and exploring ways to reduce it which I can agree with. Not trying to convert.

Our society is too woven together and interdependent for anyone to take any advocate too seriously on this matter as situation like this makes hypocrites of nearly everyone. For example: you can stand up against what you see in the video but that means you'd have stop going to the zoo because your patronage enables animal imprisonment.

Without industrial animal farming we wouldn't be able to feed the nation. When you have 300 million people, free range chicken farms just don't cut it.

You see on television that egg farms often have some 5 million hens in 5 industrial hen houses and the conditions in which they live out their lives. It is sad, but in all honesty, I like eggs. Alot. Despite the amount of cholesterol in eggs, they are high in protein, low in calories and cheaper than dirt. And I don't wanna pay 10$ a carton for them either.

The same goes for chicken meat. A boneless chicken breast has about 110 calories. Thats 1/3 the amount of calories in a McDouble sandwich

The last part of the picture is that propaganda groups show you the worst case scenarios. Reputable farms treat their animals in a very humane manor. Animals have been eating animals since the Cambrian era. We are no different. We are just better at it.

Until its time for the chopping block of course >:) nom nom

[edit]

PS: Theres a big difference between a vegetarian, and a vegan.

I admit, I did feel pretty bad for the snow leopard at the zoo. One of the worlds rarest animals, trapped in an 8x8 box. On the other hand, it felt amazing to look upon one. I dont think most visitors understand that there is only about 5000 of these left. At least at the zoo nobody will shoot him. heh

I had a long discussion about this with 2 philosophy majors. One is a carnivore omnivore and the other is a strict vegan (except if the animal dies from natural causes, apparently, then she'll eat it). I came to the conclusion that: I don't like that we eat animals despite the fact that we can get our protein from non-animal products. However, I'm a sucker for the taste of meat and I'm way too lazy to push myself to get used to consuming legumes and beans for protein.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to drool watching some Epic Meal Time.

tl:dr - Bacon too tasty.

?? You don't get it?...Vegetarians eating all the animal's food would mean they'd have to eat some animals as well since those animals are food for other animals....I'm hardcore? Read what my post was in response to before you start jumping the gun.

You people don't understand. I'm not saying we should stop eating meat. I'm saying that the mistreating of animals should stop.

Just because you eat meat doesn't mean you have to buy it from somebody who kicks his pigs and hit his calfs.

Well the other alternative to the zoo is getting extinct for some animal species due to hunt or destruction of their natural environment. So the zoo option can be the lesser of 2 evils in come cases.

Evry animal that is to give up its life for your.. should be treated with respect
And all methods of euthanasia should produce a quick and painless death
Instead of being left to suffer in fear and pain. Seriously!

Try "halal meat", if you want to reduce things like this to happen in the future

This movie is for puss.ies... jokes aside this movie was somewhat disturbing, but the end ruined it.. all that to try to persuade people to become VEGAN??? so wait wait wait wait, your telling us to basically ruin our nutrition for poor little animals? ya no thanks, I wont ever even THINK of becoming a vegetarian, and even worse vegan.

I am vegan, there is nothing unhealthy about being vegan.

I don't eat meat, haven't done so in 17 years, I don't drink/eat milk products and I don't eat eggs. This is my choice to do so, I won't argue the fact that most on here eat meat, that is their choice, and I will respect that, as long as people respect why I am vegan. There is just so much cruelty in the world, and I cannot buy into that. I don't wear leather, or wool or silk, I don't use any products that are tested on animals.

I haven't watched the video and I don't intend on watching it, so I don't know what it is about.

Spoiler!

Wait, someone is hurting an animal, and you want to cut the arms and legs off the animal that hurted the other animal? Hypocrite.

You're calling me a hypocrite? These people torture animals, all I wanna do is teach him a lesson that will stick with him for the rest of his life. I'm pretty sure that he won't forget that he only has one arm. And I'd like to see him tell people why.

So you wanna torture the animal that torture the other animal? If yes, then you're a hypocrite. When people hear what you did to this animal, someone will take on the same force on you, in that way a evil circle will start that's full of torturing.

Why do we always have to take on force? Talking comes a long way, a pot of tea and you're good to go.

Slitting the throat of an animal while it bleeds to death without any sedation or any other method that reduces discomfort and a death that can take a while for larger animals such as cattle?


Anyway the only health problem that can be caused by veganism is the lack of certain vitamins though careful planning of what you eat and supplements if required can counter that.

Bleed to death, maybe not. But slaughtering, yes. It's even more comfort that methods mentioned in the video above.

There's a big difference between torture and punishment.

Well normal cattle gets sedated with the use of an electric shock which prevents further discomfort and takes a few seconds before they cut theartery and let the animal bleed to death. The halal procedure however forbids the use of the shock and thus the animal is forced to undergo more discomfort.

The halal procedure however forbids the use of the shock and thus the animal is forced to undergo more discomfort.

Muslims are taught through the Qu'ran that all animals should be treated with respect and well cared for. The goal is to slaughter the animal, limiting the amount of pain the animal will endure.
When an animal is slaughtered, the jugular vein is cut and the blood is allowed to drain from the animal. Remember, Muslims are prohibited from consuming animal blood.

Halal meat is made in a way to drain away blood which has many diseases and causes diseases in people who eat meat in which blood has not been drained. It is also meat that does not spoil as quickly.
scientists have shown beyond doubt that Muslim-slaughtered (Halal) meat is the most electrically balanced meat, and therefore most hygienic and healthy.



Halal is One of the Most Humane Methods of Animal Slaughter:

Animals Slaughtered the Muslim Way does NOT Cause Harm to the Animal

Actually, studies have pointed that it is the opposite.

Meat eater and im happy with how things are, in these videos they show the extremes of the industry the ones who are either not following the systems rules or following them so close to the breaking point there is no difference. For the majority of my meat i know where abouts its from and if i wanted i could even go the farm, i dont go out to buy this meat specially large supermarkets have taken onboard the cruel conditions they are exposed to and forced a change, orangic food is always kept in the best conditions, free range eggs, farm assured meats and poultry, ocean farmed fish.

Here in england you will find it harder and harder to get food that comes from places anywhere near as bad as that video demonstrates, hell i work in a supermarket and each piece of meat that arrives on my counter has a vetenary number/info so you can trace that piece of meat not only to the farm but the specific animal and vet that treated it.

Vegan diets are thawrt with their own difficultys one been you have to find alternative sources of protein and other goodness that often comes from animals although the vegan diet is possible there are countless people who fall ill from the diet due to been ill informated and given bad or wrong infomation which means they are losing out on important dietry needs, pregant women should always consider even if its temp going back to eating mean and the child should be fed meat if later when its old enough to choose it wants to go vegan so be it by that point they have a fully developed brain and oragans.

i digress point was that video is wrongly showing us the industry in an attempt to convert people away from meat, those places shown are a minority not a majority it also dont show where in the world they are farming as china for instance prolly does operate like that but i dont live in china so i cant comment
