MeatVideo.com - The video the meat industry doesn't want you to see.

I dont know if I want to know cause then I would know and I dont know that I want to know when I am eating my meat.

That was interesting, I still like my steak and pork chops.

Makes me hungry. City folk seem to think that food are pets.

I've cut, branded and pulled more that a few calves, never used anesthesia either.

My Mom used to get soooo pizzed when the dog raided her coffee can full of Rocky Mountain Oyster's.

Cant unlearn something once its there

Thats why I dont learn

Without knowledge, naturally comes ignorance. So logically, it makes no sense to hinder yourself from learning new information. Unless you you prefer to be ignorant. At least that's my opinion.

Chicken ranches is what grosses me out most. I have the privilege of doing a flooring job in a house at a ranch. The smell is very remembered. I still eat chicken though. Like it to much!

Amazing how many love the food they eat,but don't agree with how it comes about, yet still eat it. It's borderline cruel,but they are after all bread to be killed in the 1st place.

It's borderline cruel, but they are after all bred to be killed in the 1st place.

#1) There is no borderline, it's beyond cruelty

#2) They may be bred for that purpose, but does that make it any more correct for them to do it in that fashion?

The problem is the cost it would cost the consumer. I bet what most would end up consider humane,would cost over 5 times or more what we pay now and we already think we paying to much. So the average person plays the... "what I don't know,won't hurt me" card.

If it was so easy to do,then it would be done. Don't you think? I bet most who don't agree with the process will have some form of meat for dinner.

Organic food at grocery store is suppose to be healthier for us,yet the average shopper doesn't buy it cause of the cost.

Food For Thought...

There was an woman who had autism and designed a more humane way to slaughter cows....

All of the animals in this video are highly modified domestic breads that would not exhist if it were not for man and the meat industry. They barely resemble the animals they decend from... and they're tasty.

What's for dinner?

BEEF!

Temple Grandin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Her insight into the minds of cattle has taught her to value the changes in details to which animals are particularly sensitive, and to use her visualization skills to design thoughtful and humane animal-handling equipment."

Doesn't say what her more humane way is. Maybe she can visualize and eat a ham samich with no pig involved in the process. She's a PETA Hero, her ham samich must be imitation pork flavored tofu.

Her animal/screw driver analogy dosen't work either. It's not illegal for me to kill my pigs or chickens for consumption. PETA is working hard to redefine slaughter houses and farmers as animal torturers and the Charlotte's Web Generation is buying it.

I do agree that the animals that are raised for food should not be considered pets and be treated as such. But to prod the milk cows with a pitchfork is another story.

Yikes, that vid is pretty bad, I watched a little and then closed the window. :dontgetit::dontgetit::dontgetit:

Will be interesting to see if an Admin pulls it.

I can't watch it because I can already tell it will upset me. I have a hard enough time eating meat and just based on the comments here, I see I'm a minority. If I just pull it based on my personal feelings, I'm not being fair.

Next mod/admin care to comment?

I watched a turkey processing plant in Springfield for a day once. I was working right outside replacing a power pole. The trucks come in and deliver live turkeys. At the other end of the building the gut wagon was parked and a chute was shooting out the left overs for dog food or whatever. Some things I dont need to know. It was 3 years before I could eat turkey again. I am not against education, but some things I just simply prefer not to know.

Its a dirty job and somebody's got to do it. When it becomes sadistic sport is where it crosses the line with me and those people need to find another job.

Pardini hit the nail on the head. PETA will say anything, do anything, like Greenpeace, to frame the discussion. Yet they have no solution other than to not eat meat.

[georgiabusa_05]

I love meat and eggs, and will continue to eat it, but after watching that, kinda made me sick. Some of the things that were being done to the animals WAS cruel. I could not imagine working in a place like that.
