it contains interviews with stickers, skinners and other fucked up individuals working in the biggest and obviously filthiest slaughterplants in america. it reveals the daily horror and gruesome practices of systematic animal abuse.

if you care about your animals at all you should fuck them with rakes, stick knifes in them at random, kick them, prod them and drag them by the rectum all over your farm on a daily base. that way they get used to the procedures they will have to endure once they reach the slaughterhouse. if they survive the transportation that is.

way more humane than letting them taste the good life and then sending them straight through hell.

>> No.1509691

>>1509688

I slaughter my own animals. They die quickly and with as little pain as possible.

You also seem to be implying that veganism somehow prevents animal suffering. This is simply not true.

>> No.1509701

>>1509678
none of our ape ancestors ate meat. there are some monkeys who did, on rare occasions, eat meat. those have nothing to do with us though. the evolution of our brain has not been triggered by meat consumption at all.

now, tell me you believe in god.

Glad you asked!

>Countless millions of wee furry beasties, mice, moles and voles, as well as ground-nesting birds, are killed outright or die off from habitat destruction annually, when vast acreages are tilled by huge, mindless machines to grow “ethical” grains and vegetables. More are killed during the growing season by rodenticide grain baits, including zinc phosphide. Small mammals and birds are killed by machinery again at harvest time, and even more are killed by pest-control practices in granaries and processing plants before vegetables get to market. There’s no such thing as a guilt-free lunch.

That's a problem with the meat industry itself.

I raise my own meat, as I said earlier, and my animals aren't tortured at all.

And you're right. Vegans oughtn't use cars, or any other modern devices really, if they want to live an "animal-free lifestyle"
