It's frustrating to watch things like "animal cops" on television, where they'll show you someone who has neglected their farm animals, resulting in a horse with a hole completely through his neck where you can see out the other side (an injury that was never tended to, but the horse lived through it anyway), and a cow with all it's bones showing ( Read more... )

I KNOW! I did a 12 page research paper all about the Meat Industry and I literally cried when I read through it. These animals in the industry are treated so badly and its ok because they aren't technically catagorized as "domesticated animals" so its "o-k" to abuse them. But honestly, how is a cow or pig any different from a horse or dog? Cows and Pigs are capable of thousands of emotions, they're more like humans than we think. Its ridiculous.

Humans weren't even designed to eat meat anyways. If you are a natural carnivore, you should be able to physically tear apart an animal with your bare hands and teeth. Could we do that? NO! We weren't made that way, we have long winding intestines so that we can digest fiberous plants, meat literally spoils in our systems because we can't digest it fast enough, this increases the chance of becoming sick (especially with all the antibiotics they're using on the animals to "prevent" disease, its actually making it fucking worse because they're resisting the antibiotics). And our teeth, ya we have those two sharp cuspid canines, but they cannot tear apart raw flesh. Even down to the movement of our jaw, the fact that we can grind left to right is a trait of herbivors.

we don't need meat! anyways, eating meat is hurtful to the environment too. For every pound of meat produced, we could produce 40lbs of soy (which has more nutrishional value) for the same amount of fossil fuels!

being vegetarian is great, but if you are vegan, you save aproximately 100 animals a year, so fuck everyone who says we don't make a difference!

woah... sorry that turned into a long blab. sorry, i just get really passionate about this topic.
well anyways!

HAIL LUCIFER!

don't apologize, it's rare that I mention something like this and get a response other than "MEAT IS GOOD" or "PEOPLE NEED TO EAT MEAT." Seriously. I had to research all this stuff too for a class I had. If we "needed meat" then why the fuck is everyone ending up with heart attacks and high cholesterol? If our teeth were designed to eat meat, then why, if we evolved from apes, do apes eat only vegetables? People's arguments over the years have just become more and more of just excuses that cannot be backed up.

It's people who either think they can't make a difference or just don't want to bother because they "like meat", that are the reason why these factories are never going to go out of business
