proof that peta does something useful now and then

i'm glad that video like this makes it out to the mass media to shed some light on the inhumane practices in slaughterhouses and factory farms.  kicking, beating, and raping animals does not need to be done in the process of sending an animal to slaughter.  but even if the animal is handled "

As messed up as some of it seems... PETA gets RESULTS. Go PETA! I can't even fucking imagine being an undercover investigator.

agreed...that is the one thing I always think about, how horrifying it is to be undercover. Someone gave me a book about these sort of undercover operations and I just sat here crying reading it.

That people are enjoying this sort of job and abusing them on their way to their death is just...it's beyond my comprehension and I think they should be removed as human beings on this planet. If you can't be useful, get the hell off the planet. Hideous.

That shit has to follow you for the rest of your life. How can one be so passionate as to expose themselves to that, yet still sit back and watch it happen in front of them and pretend it's ok. It takes an interesting person to be able to do that for sure.

i was thinking about that too. obviously the person who goes undercover is passionate about animal welfare, or they wouldn't be working with peta.
i couldn't just stand by and watch though. i think it would break me. and he must not have been able to say a whole lot either, about being nicer to the pigs, etc. otherwise the other employees might have gotten suspicious.

actually, in that setting, i think killing the animals would be one of the more humane things you could do for them... in some twisted way

once they step in the door, they're going to get killed no matter how they are treated beforehand. i'm just saying that the greatest injustice here is that entire factories exist to slaughter animals in the first place, but the public doesn't even bat an eye at that concept.
on the other hand, killing them isn't illegal and exposing the other forms of abuse is the only thing that can be used to take legal action right now.
i guess the part that annoys me is that most omnivores will read this and think, "oh, i'm glad someone is doing something about that!" so that they'll just feel a little less guilty over eating meat
