If you have 12 minutes of your life to waste, and want something to think about other then embarisment and fear, have a look at the video of this site :

http://meat.org/

Its about how meat and other dairy products are created in some nations, and if you can sit through the whole thing without feeling atleast a little bit of anger you are tougher then i am.

Warning : Very Graphic.

And no, im not trying to make people veggies.

Don't know. Don't care. Refuse to watch that stuff. I enjoy meat, and don't want nasty pictures in my head.

i agree with carstuar. I love animals and i wanted them to be treated well.
as well as they can be treated before they get killed so we can eat them Sad

But watching videos like that doesnt help. i will probably always be a meat eater. but ya, im not watching that

I can eat a couple pounds of meat in a day. People were meant to be meat eaters and it makes you grow up big and strong. Eskimos eat nothing but meat and they're happy and healthy as anyone

I love animals, but wheres the beef? Laughing

I'm disgusted with some farming methods. Something I have already thought about a lot. I'm not veggie but I do buy my meat from a known source and I rear my own chickens for eggs and meat.

Im a meat eater myself and think il never stop eating meat, im not for the veggie thing but i think if more people knew how conditions were at the farms, things would be different, i believe the reasons things are like they are, is becouse few people know or care.

I've lived on a farm most of my life and we never took care of chickens or our cattle in that manner, except for the "cattle prod" which I took to school once and snapped people in the halfway with it just to watch them jump, its quite funny.

Most of the chicken and turkey footage is from asian countries, thats why they have something called bird flu, because the owners work and are surrounded by chicken shit and whatever else 24/7.

If you believe every farm is like this, your an idiot.

Our chickens and cattle were kept in heat controlled holding rooms and were always feed and watered, also we didnt use antibiotics or hormones, we were called an "organic" farm because all the meat was natural, trust me if you know what your doing you can grow the same animals and have better meat in the end if you have patience.

And yes, I have castrated and branded a few cows before, except we did it with a pair of razor charp strings that you pull together and pop they come off. ;o)

Maybe I'm a little too cold hearted but if veggie's think that with them stopping eating meat its gonna change the world, they need to wake up. More and more people everyday are eating more meat so there not making a bit of difference.

There's many things in meat that are good for you and hey, who doesnt like a juicy tender steak right off the grill ;o)

Artificial insemination in itself is disgusting, imo. Animals were not meant to exist and procreate just to serve humans.

Really animals should just be organically farmed...It's better for the animals, it's better for us and it's better for the World. If people can't afford it, eat less meat. Need more protein? Eat fish. Eat other meats that are less intensive, or different cuts. White meat does not have to mean intensively-farmed chicken breasts.

We need to eat less meat. Meat is being eaten more and more all over the World...and pretty soon there will just not be enough grain on the planet to sustain it. In developed societies now we do not see meat as the luxury that it is. Hunter-gatherers lived on <10% meat. There is plenty of reasons to change our eating habits, imo, and one does not need to become vegetarian.
