Would you be willing to go to a slaughterhouse and kill a cow? Do you eat meat?

I no longer eat beef or pork, but I think a trip to the slaughter house would be a good thing for most. At least some would never eat meat again.

The best visit would be when they take new borns away from their mothers. These babies look terrified. All they want is the warmth and protection of their mother, and to suckle, but all they get is carried off to a shed on their own where they stay until slaughtered for veal and lamb. What kind of humanity kills baby animals like this? It's barbaric, and the poor babies are terrified and bewildered.

@pinkrainbowkisses: We do. I've seen it.
[c=#BF0080]Oh, I'm not denying that it doesn't happen in other slaughterhouses.. I'm just saying we don't do that ourselves.. I think it's wrong to take them away from their mothers when they're too young.[/c]

@pinkrainbowkisses: I think it's wrong to kill babies period.
@Carissimi: [c=#BF0080]I do agree.[/c]
