1. And that's the way it is.
Sicking isn't it? Don't get me wrong, I am not a vegan. I am just repelled by cruelty to animals. Meat coming from such sources has to be tainted just by the fact it is an act of cruelty and torture to treat animals in this manner, even if the end result is to nourish the human animal.

3. Strange that some people
are amused by the cruel treatment of animals. The human being is an amimal also, supposedly imbued by something called a conscience. Does that amusement apply when cruelty is impossed upon the human animal?

4. Do you mean to imply that they shouldn't have been serious?
:shrug:

Everything they said is true. Look into it. They left out the worst parts.

7. Ah, ok
I agree, too, that the pig could have used a different voice actor. Ugh.

8. This is not going to change the minds or attitudes of meat eaters.
They will continue to buy their steaks, chicken filets and pork chops no matter what they see as proof of the cruelty to factory farmed animals.

10. Yeah.
It can bring over borderlines though. There is more I could do to eat organic.

The "sustainable" idea needs to be repeated. Factory farms are bad for everyone, in the long run. And you can still eat meat... just get it from a place that has humane practices.
