Vegans are acceptable targets to mock these days but i've a challenge for all the meat eaters here: Watch and tell me it doesn't affect you.
[b][i][c=800000]"Most of us consider ourselves animal lovers"[/c][/i][/b] It's called Dominion and if you can't invest the 2 hours then just watch the first section on pigs. It's one thing to hear about the bad, mean things that humans do to poor livestock but it's quite another to witness the terror and the pain of the animals as they're suffering slow, horrific deaths. Tell me what you feel watching it. Does it compel you to make different choices? Does it at least make you [i]want[/i] to make different choices?
@Pikachu I would also say that if it's possible, try to buy your meat locally, so that you can see the conditions under which the animals live. I've got an uncle who keeps a small herd of cattle as a source of income. Or I guess he used to, I think I just heard that he had retired. Anyway, he treated his steers like royalty, because happy animals taste better. So it's possible, but you've got to be really picky.
Yeah there are definitely better and worse sources to get your animal products from. I don't think that necessarily makes it ok but it's certainly better to choose sources with the least amount of suffering.
