The Meat Industry

[Druckles]

To be so offended by labeling you seem to be quick to label others. I hope you don't think that all people supporting animal rights are hippies.

It's called irony, my dear boy, irony.

Congratulations, you just demonstrated how easily some people are manipulated.

What about all the blood shed by the crop harvester used to gather the food you eat?

you mean the odd rodents run over by farming equipment? or the birds hit by delivery trucks, or the insects killed by pesticides ...surely you're not comparing that to the mass slaughter of animals for food?

 

[Druckles]

No, he's talking about the poor wheat. And the vegetables. The blood that pours out of their sad souls as they echo their last crunchy metaphorical moans, anguish ripping through the hearts of any plant nearby unlucky enough to hear.

Frankly, if a video converts you to vegetarianism just because it's "gross" then you never had a strong pro non-vegetarianism argument in the first place (ie, you are an easily manipulated wuss with no opinions of your own). As for me, I won't give up mah meat until someone can present a rational argument against it. Example? Don't eat so-and-so because they are endangered vs. oh noez look at the blood I'm gunna puke!

ok that's just stupid. The overwhelming majority of people have no clue about the lving conditions of food they eat, to write someone off as being "easily manipul;ated" is just being ignorant and dismissive of the issue altogether as evidenced by your next statement

who cares what your opinion is? I certainly dont, and I'm willing to bet 99.9% of our members dont care either ..that doesnt in any way justify eating meat, personal opinion justifies it for YOU and no one else

Example? Don't eat so-and-so because they are endangered[/I] vs. oh noez look at the blood I'm gunna puke!

this is borderline retarded ..scratch that, itis retarded ..who the hell eats endangered animals? and what does the sight of blood have to do with anything? the OP talked about the conditions the animals live in not whether the amount of blood makes them quesy ..seriously your ignorance on the issue is sifling which is surprising seeing as how you're from a country known for vegetarianism

Luckily this kind of thing doesnt happen nearly as much in the UK, because our laws are stricter in comparision to the US and much of Europe.
Id like to be a vegeterian but am not stong willed enough i guess.
