You're not going to tear humans away from their natural meat-eating habits. You're also not going to excite those natural food gathering habits which urged early man to hunt for his meat. You're at a stale-mate between progress and the very animal which we are all based upon. Maybe someday humans will manage to live without killing others (human or animal) but that day is far from tomorrow - we've still got a lot fo problems we've got to work out on Earth before the suffering of a chicken in Nebraska becomes priority.
It's not even the fault of the meat-packing/preparing industry of America. As you saw in the video, it was individual men torturing those animals to an unnecessary degree. I realize that chickens need to be (painfully) de-beaked in order to prevent them from pecking each other to death when forced into such cramped conditions - it's an unforunately necessary measure to preserve the greatest amount of potential capital - simple economics. But it seemed very unnecessary from men to go out and beat the shit out of those chickens and those pigs for no apparent reason - that just comes down to straight-up, individual cruelty to animals- not necessarily what the target of PETA has been in these many years. Organizations that strive to preserve animal rights just seem to have the wrong idea as to where the problem lies - in the individual fucking slack-jawled hillbillies that the midwest breeds who, after years of conditioning, have no reverance for the suffering of innocent creatures. Wrong? Only by relative societal standards intrinsic to those great hives of human civilization far from the chicken farms and the cow fields. Rallying up an organization won't save the animals from suffering...
Who's going to save us? |
Perspicuouly and elegantly stated. I'm not on your nuts, but I at the very least should mention one of the very few posts in this serious thread topic that provided substinance.
But then again I remember I'm in the Chill Out Room.
