I'm so disgusted with people

the people in this video of course but also the people that they are doing this for: consumers of animal products. It doesn't have to be this way, we can boycott cruelty. This is done all so people can eat crap instead of a healthy diet. I raised two kids as vegetarians and they're doing just fine and their doctors approve. I bet you can't watch this short video through. Watch this then go pet your dog or cat. maybe buy him a sweater.

some people are in denial, but I know too many, like my closest in-laws, who just don't mind how horrible the animals suffer.

I can't watch. I've been on the mental edge ever since Earthlings and that was like two years ago. I will sign and forward it though.

I'd gladly pay way more for humanely raised and slaughtered meat, (that is presumably more healthy too). Everyone who eats meat should know the truth, and then make educated decisions from there.

every culture has its own beliefs in what animals are foods and how they should be treated. for me i just watched a dozen or so whitetails in my meadow that i will thin soon for my freezer, for some people that is cruel but to others its natural to kill for your food.
