Slaughterhouse Cruelty

But you're saying because most people don't beat their children that means most people are kind to their livestock...

Can't we all just get along? :(

(For the record I did see the video that got taken down by the mods because I PM'd wana for it. I think it's very unfortunate that it got removed form the forum, because it wasn't shocking for the sake of being shocking, it was simple presentation of reality. The "go vegan" message was tacked onto the end but whether or not it was propaganda depends on how my above question gets answered. My opinion is that the real reason it got taken down is a reflection of the overall situation... people don't really want to see these things.)

This is what I think too. It's why I disagree with the vid I posted of the chinese girl being run over, being taken down.
And I said the same thing to myself when this animal vid was taken down as well.

This is actual life, not some dramatisation, for the sake of being fucked up and sickening, like those last few Saw movies, Hostel etc.
I don't see why it shouldn't be shown. The fact that people DON'T want to see it, is the reason it SHOULD be shown. They don't want to
see these things, because then they might feel bad enough that they actually have to do something about it.

Also relevant to actual discussion, I don't think meat should be banned or anything. Just recently, some videos emerged from slaughterhouses who we export cows and sheep to.
These cows were having their tails snapped in multiple places, having their eyes gouged, being killed in front of each other, whipped, dragged, cows being forced to walk over other cows and trampling them etc.
It was really just absolutely disgusting to see. And these workers just did it like it was nothing. Shoving their hands in a cows eye.... I think they were told to torture the animals to get them to keep moving or something,
I know they put chilli in cows eyes in some countries for the same reason.

But the point is, I don't think we should just stop exporting meat there, like a lot of people think now. There should just be extremely strict laws in place. And, tbh if anyone breaks the laws and purposely injures the animals (besides killing straight away, obviously) then they should have the same thing done to them. Coz that's a real fucking sick human being.
