| Speciesism (Will not fail to dissapoint)
http://veg-tv.info/Earthlings
1.5 Hr long documentary on speciesism... the 5 ways in which animals serve us, the 5 ways in which we continue to contribute to the cruelest holocaust mankind will ever know.
I'll be honest, I got quite overwhelmed just within the first 10-15 minutes.
Just to make it plain and clear. I do eat meat and in no way am saying that we should be doing something great, or immediately to stop this. I'm just sharing this so that we might all be a little more educated and aware, if some of us aren't already.

I don't understand why that just because vegitables don't move and woof at us it is less cruel to eat them?
So it's better to beat on the retarded kid? Is that it?
On the contrary, I think we should eat less vegetables - give them more time to make us more oxygen....Makes more sense to me. Kill those that uses the same oxygen as we do. ROFL.

well, well, well. aren't we all just good and completely disgusted with ourselves now, hmmm?
my gf's parents run a vietnamese restaurant that is completely vegan. i think if it were more common to see vegetarian restaurants, the choice could be made much simpler.
i know in my short stint of vegetarianism, i didn't mind the actual lack of meat so much as the lack of variety for foods. i think i may try it again though

They are animals, not humans, so no need for humane treatment there. I really don't care how my Hamburger gets to me, as long as I can eat it.
No I have not watched the video, but I will tomorrow.

I DONT know. Im not educated in killing animals. Im asking if there is a DIFFERENT way than butchering them so violently while they are alive.
Dont try to be a smartass and take it out of context. I didnt say anything about poisoning. If there is another way, then I would like to know. Quote:

there are multiple ways, i'm sure. these are the most cost efficient though. and when you're dealing in the slaughter of millions of animals, every penny counts. always the mighty dollar...

^^ that was sarcasm, i hope. or were you seriously trying to justify not being vegetarian with that defense?
the torches to the pig's skin was interesting though. did you know that pigs skin is the most similar to humans? lotta testing done with those torches
