Re: Dietary Implications, by lapis

Yea, that is a pretty powerful and disturbing movie. However I was raised in rural Texas and I can say pretty confidently that many (even most) animals here are not mal-treated/abused like they portrait in that movie. I'm sure abuse does go on in some places. But I know many many farmers and have been in and around farms for over 20 years, and it just doesn't happen that way. In fact, most animals seem to have a very pleasant way of life while on the farm. Now having said that, I have no idea what happens at the slaughterhouse. I'm sure it's not a peaceful way to go for the animals.

I wonder how Peta feels about consuming meat that you raise on your own farm...animals that are not inhumanely treated.

I eat less meat nowdays because I believe it is a healthier way of life. Tweet
