(content)the way animals get treated

[srijantje]

Just goes to show how differently we're put together, for some the value of money being more important than the suffering experienced by animals.
Myself, I wouldn't be able to look into their eyes and ignore the fear.
The eating of animals isn't going to go away, (and I get that), but I do wish and hope that strict guidelines would be implemented to aliviate as much suffering as possible.
I had watched a P.E.T.A documentary where hidden cameras were used during the killing of cows in feed lots ... some of the men were being so vulgar/nasty/cruel, and making jokes about it, that it was beyond shameful and certainly crossed over the line of being humane. For all I know though, it could be some kind of sick coping mechanism ... who can fully understand the human psyche, and attitude involved in the job of killing animals on such a large scale.
Consumers are so far removed from what actually goes on. Most don't have a clue about the living conditions let alone the death of what they eat. By the time the they see it, it's laid out on a tidy plastic tray, neatly wrapped in plaictic. I don't for one minute they even think of it as an animal ... it's meat ... nothing more.

i agree totally with you Cath,def.the sick coping mechanism comes into it,i knew a guy once who worked in the slaughterhouse,killing hundreds a day,totally fucked up alcoholic
