I like how Australian farmers in this vid invest in reducing the agony, which is f overwhelming in the classical slaughterhouses.

They use the word "stunning". How cute!

Dude, why?

And, is there a point you’re making? You didn’t even bother to address your own thread.

Edit: nvm; I see that you did.

Ugh...why do I eat meat?

Have you seen the atrocious things they're doing to corn? Talk about inhumanity.

Nobody was killed in WW1 & 2, they were stunned.

They use the word stunned because they render the animal unconscious before killing them on the idea that it's more humane. Sometimes the gap between the two is measured in nanoseconds (well placed captive bolt to the brain)..sometimes longer..as when they bleed them out after gassing or shock .
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It gets worse, much, much worse . . .


 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'm actually considering reducing my meat intake to once a week for ethical reasons. So, I'm with ya, purps. The conditions endured by animals in these facilities is atrocious.
