If slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian!

:lulz:

They taste pretty damn good. Eating friends is so much fun.

i do not belive there is such a thing as ethical killing or breeding of animals, but i do support humane animal husbandry, because i know that some people have a need for the money and or food that comes from the breeding and killing of animals.

no they would not. people have seen the most gruesome videos of animal cruelty for food and still eat meat while making smartass jokes.

Whial I believe the title of this thread is completely false. People would cirtainly eat alot less.

I believe we as a species have distanced ourselves from what is actually required to consume meat products. If we were still required to some how be personally involved in the butcher of any animal we choose to consume I believe we would consume alot less, have more respect for all forms of life, and be drestically less wateful.

I have seen Coyotes eat a calf and they were quite happy with a full belly, the calf on the other hand did not enjoy the experience. This is not love, it is nature in its natural state.

Humans are carnivores.They need meat to live.Veggies are good in moderation as a fiber to move your stool.PETA = people eating tasty animals.

I'll eat what I want to eat, thanks.

I raise chickens and slaughter them for meat. It isn't pretty but it is part of the circle of life.

Come fall I will invite a hunter to hunt the back property and we will get a large portion of the meat.

I will also purchase a half a hog sometime in the next year from one of the local farms.

If more people ate healthier meats like I do there wouldn't be as many issues with health due to meat.

Watched the video, made me hungry for a bacon cheeseburger.

You're right.

I'm a meat eater, and I know if I really thought about it, I couldn't justify it.

I need to sit down some day very soon and open my eyes to what the industry really is and what goes on. I've been actively avoiding the truth and forcing myself not to think about it.

An animal's right to life is no less valid than ours. The fear they feel is the same we experience. Same with the pain. Their desire to live is just as strong as ours. Nothing about them is lesser than us.

Really, the only difference is they don't have a capacity for cruelty and we do. So who is really "animal"?

i like your kitty, it looks cute.

You are the world's biggest idiot.

How do you like that for some hyperbole?
Dumbass.

I would like to introduce you to the hunter.

Not only the slaughtering methods - but they raise the cattle / animals badly with bad diet, cramped dark environment, given shots that are bad for them and us - it is just bad energy overall.
I eat a lot of eggs, but almost no meat.
Yep most people who eat meat would be too pussy to participate or even watch the slaughters of the animals they eat.

It would be even cuter on a spit with some dry rub seasoning and an open flame.

Yum.

i hear that! the amout of times i have tried to give someone a rooster, duck or baby goat, some people may kill and do the preping to prove a point but i haven't come across one yet, they would rather pay someone to do it for them!

Endurance was tested by Dr. Irving Fisher of Yale University, who conducted a series of experiments with forty-nine random individuals representing the two types of dietary habits. The first test was that of holding the arms horizontally. The comparison showed a great superiority on the side of the vegetarians.
“Only 2 of the 15 flesh eaters taking this test succeeded in holding their arms out over a quarter of an hour, whereas 22 of the 32 abstainers surpassed that limit. None of the flesh eaters reached half an hour, but 15 of the 32 abstainers surpassed that limit. Of these 9 exceeded an hour, 4 exceeded 2 hours and 1 exceeded 3 hours.”

The second test was that of deep knee bending. Only one of the ten flesh eaters reached 1000 times as against ten of the twenty-one abstainers. None of the former surpassed 2000 times as against 4 vegetarians. The flesh abstainers excelled with an average of 883 times as against an average of 333 times for the flesh eaters.
Strength was assessed by Dr. Schontenden, who tested students at the University of Brussels to compare strength of exclusively vegetarian individuals against that of predominantly meat eaters. Students were subjected to two physical tests: (1) squeezing f an “ergo-graph” with the right hand, and (2) weight lifting. The results revealed that the vegetarians achieved an average of 72 points with the ergo-graph; the meat eaters only 35 points. The strongest vegetarian reached a figure of 1467 points in weight lifting, while the strongest of the meat eaters achieved only 989 points. Rather surprisingly the vegetarians recovered much more quickly after the exertion, and therefore could repeat the experiment more readily than their opponents.

Murray Rose, an Australian and one of the world’s great athletes, is a flesh abstainer. His accomplishments include the following:
In 1958, at age 17, Murray won three gold medals at the Olympic Games in Melbourne, becoming the youngest triple gold medalist in the history of the games.
In 1958 and 1959 he established himself as the world’s greatest all-round swimmer of his time by winning in three totally different distances – in a sprint (200 meter relay); in the middle distance event (400 meters); and in the grueling, long-distance marathon (1500 meters).
He was the first swimmer in the world to the 18-minute barrier in the 1500 meter distance; and e set three world records in the 400 meter, 800 meter, and 1500 meter distances.
Murray ascribes his success in sports to his vegetarian diet. He does not eat meat, fish, or poultry – foods which, according to him, produce acids that cause fatigue. Nor does he drink coffee, tea, or alcoholic beverages. His diet includes cheese, eggs, goats milk, soybeans, nuts, sunflower seeds, millet, sesame products, unpolished rice, and homemade juices of apple, grape, pineapple, tomato, and carrot.

If you're like me (at least a bit), you like
a good burger now and then.

I love them too, but what I found out about them recently
is just disturbing, disgusting and downright angering.

Do you know that the burgers we buy from supermarkets
are basically health bombs?

Wait, I'm not talking from a "health foods expert" perspective,
but from a "I'd like to stay alive perspective".

Beef burgers, for example, don't only contain beef,
but it's made from a paste obtained by mixing
many types of meat and parts of an animal's body,
including the digestive tract, excretory system and
so on, which are packed with bacteria.

Bacteria that doesn't die if you only cook the burger,
but you should downright burn it.

But it gets "better". Inside beef there's poop. Consistent and
consecutive tests showed that, on average, 2/3
of all beef burgers contain e-coli,
which is a bacteria found in feces.

Of course, this bacteria shouldn't be in your stomach and
e-coli is on top of the list of bad things that might
make its way to your stomach.

Not to mention it's just very disgusting as well!


Burgers are also packed with antibiotics (fed to animals
to "stay healthy"), but also with salmonella,
enterococcus and other goodies, that
developed immunity to the antibiotics
put in them to kill them.

And all of that goes into our bellies.

So what can you do? Source your own food, grow it,
only buy it from someone you trust.

Better yet, eat less. Be prepared. They're poisoning us every second
and we have the power to stop it all by not buying
all that crap (quite literally) anymore.

and dont forget to buy burger mince unsubsidized would set you back around $80 a pound!

its like 50/50 with that guy.

ha

This has to STOP!
