[QUOTE=Flameon;45836874]I think we can all agree its better this way for the animal, but lets not get starry-eyed at the whole event at all. In the end, the animal dies. Thats the horrible part. Life is taken. Something to be said about Capitalism and its ability to create distance between this kind of stuff through dollar signs. I eat meat, but if I had to kill the animal myself, I don't think I could do it. Call me a softie, and call it denial, but to a certain extent we all go through this. It was a pig, now its pork. It was a chicken, now its poultry. It was a cow, now its beef. Im rambling, I guess the only thing I can take away from this is a sort of solemn realization about how im implicated in what I would think is a grave ethical injustice (killing of animals), just for food that tastes good.[/QUOTE] Of all the things on the earth that kill other things, humans are both the least and most violent about it. Kind of an interesting dichotomy to say the least.
It's amusing that people can get so grossed out by this, to the point of losing their appetite, yet they eat meat on a daily basis, and will continue to do so.
kind of hungry now
[QUOTE=Reagy;45823614]I don't really see what is so hard to watch about this, if you eat meat you've either gotta understand where it comes from and the methods used or go the other path and do it yourself and I can say that these methods of slaughter are a bit better than the classic bash on head/break neck/shotgun to skull tricks that used to be used commercially and are only now used on small farms that grow their own livestock for the family.[/QUOTE] I remember my grandma breaking chicken necks etc. At that point you don't really think about how humane it is.
