About vegans

In my experience the subject is normally brought up by meat-eaters who want to try and convince themselves that they are doing the right thing. Just look at the OP for example arguing that plants could possibly also have emotions and feelings therefore it's no better than eating an animal who is clearly able to suffer.

I have found the same thing with people trying to convince me that organic food is a con and that I am stupid for not following the exact same diet that they do. I never try to convince anyone else to eat organic food but if people find out about it then some can become really defensive about it.

Yeah, I prefer to buy organic/pasture raised animal products any time I can because I feel the animals are treated more humanely this way. I've had a couple people give me a hard time about this, which i don't understand. You eat what you want, and I'll eat what I want. Not that hard.

I work at a slaughter house / pork meat processing plant. Altough being at the warehouse, I have seen the slaughter process. They put the pigs sleeping before the killing blow. Its a thing because according to the engineers, if you stress the animal it impacts on the workers and on the meat quality.. they even use noisy bags filled with air at the tip of a stick to push them trough the corridors. Not to harm the pig O.o;
