Those gross and disturbing ads on DU...

[Glassunion]

I can't stand them. They are gross, disturbing and quite frankly impossible to erase from your mind if you dare to click on them.

Keep them coming. Mercy for Animals had a good year. They put it right in your face and make it hard to ignore.

But they did a lot of good last year. The link is ok for the faint of heart...

God bless those who went to uncover these stories.

4. I will not watch therm.

I am a vegetarian, so I know where the meat comes from. That's why I am a vegetarian. But I hope those ads will open the meat-eaters' eyes.

10. yah, me neither

don't need to see it. Earthlings was the last of that kinda stuff I'll see, on purpose anyway.

People's reaction to the ads has been interesting, they get so upset, then they brag about the cuts of meat they're about to eat :eyes:

I saw firsthand the disgusting cruel hell-like treatment of truckloads of chickens at a plant one night during college. What people can go on supporting blows my mind. Humanity's gone crazy though,and the way we eat's a big part of the madness, imho

5. Your posts on DU.

I can't stand them. They are gross, disturbing and quite frankly impossible to erase from your mind if you dare to click on them. Especially the ones about potatoes.

I'm amazed at the number of people who go out of their way to be offended.

[Glassunion]

Disturbed, yes. But never offended.
