Reply #97: Do YOU REALLY believe that? [View All]

Animals raised on farms are not Killed quickly or painlessly. Ever read about chicken slaughter?

The worst *is* their lives....and they will continue to treat animals inhumanely as long as people buy and support it. I personally only buy local meat and eggs, though when you go out to eat your options are limited...therefore, people should speak up. But they won't, because they don't want to think about where their food comes from. They eat meat with every meal, and wonder why their cholesterol is so high and they have heart disease. Take pork:

Modern breeding sows are treated like piglet-making machines. Living a continuous cycle of impregnation and birth, each sow has more than 20 piglets per year. After being impregnated, the sows are confined in gestation crates — small metal pens just two feet wide that prevent sows from turning around or even lying down comfortably. At the end of their four-month pregnancies, they are transferred to similarly cramped farrowing crates to give birth. With barely enough room to stand up and lie down

Enjoy your factory farmed bacon.

If people really believe that their meat is brought to them as humanely as possible, you can start here:

And while I don't support peta's message of telling everyone they should stop eating meat, go watch their videos and maybe think about reevaluating your beliefs.
