Yeah pretty much. I don't really care what happens to someone before they die so long as it doesn't effect the rest of us.
But like I said, if people that are going to live are going to be distressed by it then you should try avoid it.
Why should I care?
I ate bacon tonight and I loved it. Dominant species eating lesser species. Problem?
I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, But alot of the people in this video have actually been arrested and/or charged for animal abuse. The video has a very political-type approach, By showing you only what they want you to see, Twisting the videos acting as if all meat industries do this. The guy who stomped the calf's head in got charged for about $500,000 (About $850 per bone he broke). The guy who was hanging pigs on the forklift was arrested for 4 years. The guy who was charged 500 grand was also the one who was throwing chicks into the blenders.
Even if the entire video was true, These weren't people who were trying to brainwash us, And nobody was punished, I still would eat meat because these animals were bred specifically for eating and killing purposes, Not to live a life. And as many have said, Superior defeats inferior.

I have to disagree. Broadly speaking, there are two approaches to the issue. The animal welfare position holds that there is nothing inherently wrong with using animals for human purposes, such as food, clothing, entertainment, and research, but that it should be done in a humane way that minimizes unnecessary pain and suffering. Animal rights theorists criticize this position, arguing that the words "unnecessary" and "humane" are subject to widely differing interpretations, and that the only way to ensure protection for animals is to end their status as property, and to ensure that they are never used as commodities. Laws concerning animal cruelty are designed to prevent needless cruelty to animals, rather than killing for other aims such as food, or they concern species not eaten as food in the country involved, such as those regarded as pets.

The video states that the hanging of pigs and chicks in the blender are accepted practices. I also know for a fact the farmer who stomped the calf was charged a fraction of that amount. If you are going to make ridiculous claims provide sources, alternatively don't bother posting. Consider this a warning.

Sorry, I got the figure wrong. It's $750 for each act. Happy now? And, He was also charged for numerous torture acts. And as I said, The video has a political approach, Only saying what is wanted to be said, And only showing what is wanted to be shown. Thus making the viewer on their side. The video mentions they are accepted practices, But where's their source? By showing a video of animal abusers and claiming that all meat industries allow such things is ludacris, Could be absolute bullshit.
So, My claim wasn't ridiculous, I provided my source, So I'll bother posting.
