CAUTION, THIS INFORMATION WILL HURT YOUR HEART, GRAPHIC HEARTLESS TREATMENT OF ANIMALS .....the next time you browse through the meat sections of your favorite grocery how can you not think about these videos,,,,,,
there is really something wrong with the HUGE DISCONNECT people have in terms of where and how their food products are being made available to them.

Dad's a butcher...

I wish that we could get away from the "slaughterhouse" methods, but as long as the people who eat the meat are not the ones raising, killing, and processing it we have to rely on people who take care of the nasty part en masse... I don't have room on my 1.07 acres to raise a bull, kill it, and process the meat.:dunno:

I understand,no one has the ability to raise their own meat but the "slaughterhouse" methods
need to change. there is just no reason for such horrible brutal treatment of animals. This is part of the disconnect,,,,,not many people know about these barbaric processing methods.
 
OM!! This is so horrible! I think everyone knows in their mind this goes on but to see it paints a disturbing picture.

Exactly!,,,,,no one really knows, its part of the huge disconnect. as a consumer you are participating in this brutality if you don't object,,,,stop eating meat until this horrible treatment ends.

I wonder how anyone can eat a burger or steak without remembering those animal screaming in pain, and the terror and fear they felt at the end.
Seems I read something about how the terror an animal feels at the moment of its death transfered into the very meat tissues and organs that we eat and we are spiritually absorbing this.

There are many studies and beliefs about this very thing. Let's not forget the anger that an animal has and the transfer of that to our bodies. There is so much Science is finding out about the transference of feelings into the body that is passed along in many ways.

I've found in my own life and the way I was brought up that it is easier to stick my head in a hole then to take responsibility for myself. We have many choices. I started by not eating meat one day a week and the more mindful I am about it the less I desire meat.

Just a thought. :love: Kat

I've not eaten veal in over 20 years, ever since I discovered how veal is raised.
I no longer buy red meat unless it's grass fed organic, which due to its cost means we don't eat much red meat. Fresh Market sometimes has great deals. Yes, I do know how chickens are processed, but one step at a time. One night a week, we eat vegetarian. A good book to ease you into a healthier lifestyle is Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston. I'm not sure I could go vegan, but semi-vegetarian is doable. And the added benefit is that this sort of diet is far better for you.

I am absolutely a carnivore, but that video was way over the top. I can say that I just took kosher meat off the list, although I have never eaten it either.

I have a brother that once worked in a regular meat packing plant in MN and he told me of their process which was meant to kill the cattle instantly before they ever began any processing.

It is unfortunate that whatever processing plant you can find, you will probably always find someone working that needs a lot of work on their conscience.

I have no interest in becoming a vegetarian, so please don't ruin civil conversation.

I am a hardcore believer in that whatever you need to eat must be dealt with as quickly and painlessly as possible. I am not going to deny that things must die that I might live. Science is likely to discover some day that carrots feel pain as well while their roots are being ripped out of the ground. What are vegetarians going to do then?
I'm just not going down that road. I am committed to doing things as humanely as I can. Hate me if you must but this coin has two sides.

I don't think this video demonstrates that you shouldn't eat meat, but that you should know where ALL of your food comes from and how it was processed.

Not every meat processor is like this, which is why it is good to educate yourself and vote with your pocketbook!

Thank you!,,,,,my point exactly! and the other most important point is WHY DO THE MEAT PROCESSORS HAVE TO DO IT IN THIS MANNER! again if people would give more thought as to the where-what-and why's of the food they mindlessly pull off their local grocery store shelves it could make a difference.
