"What your are about to see is beyond your wost nightmares". The opening line from "meet the meat"

I watched this video last night. Has me contemplating giving up eating factory chicken, beef, pork, eggs, and milk.

Do yourself a favor and watch this. Honestly, without hyperbole, makes me wonder in 2006 why we have to eat animals if it requires this level of abuse. My favorite food in Canada was chicken wings, but do I need them this bad? And do I really want to eat something in this level of health? Anyway, has me questioning, and it may make you think twice. If the link doesn't work, go to youtube.com and search for peta, then scroll down to "meet the meat". I read fast food nation, but a picture is worth a thousand words. Oh, finish what your KFC before you watch this. Or, throw it in the garbage.

Really, I dont care. Animals are delicious and thats the way it is. We are predators, all prefators kill their food in a cruel way.

It may be a sign of the times, but I was expecting much worse. That was bad enough though.

I'm gonna do myself a favour and not watch this propaganda. When it comes to PETA, I have a policy:

PETA is staffed by complete morons who wouldn't know what work or the real world is if it hit them in the head.
Second, the way animals are treated is bad and should be changed. I see no reason that breeding animals for food is wrong as long as it is done humanely (sp?). In the future, we won't have a need to.
A lot of farmers treat their livestock extremely well though. It's usually the big livestock factories (not really farms) that are the bad ones.

Maybe not in Korea, but when you go home, you can buy free range chickens. On second thought, the chickens you find in the public markets probably ARE free range chickens. The ones at Home Plus & Costco are probably not. You could always have a Korean friend write a letter to H-P and ask.

Nowadays the major food producers and fast food chains produce utter garbage without anyone's welfare in mind. They just think about how to squeeze more money out of you and the aminals for their bank accounts. Eat that junk at your own risk.

Oh No! cows being branded without painkillers. Crying or Very sad

Say it isn't so!! Sure they need more regulations on the methods used to farm and kill these animals, but still the result is the same and they are delicious. What about the poor fish that are left gasping for breath as they are pulled out of the water by a hook or net? Those poor fishes being tormented by all those fisherman. I do agree with PETA to a certain degree. Animals should be treated more humane and I don't like how they are pumping animals with anti-biotics or steriods, but other then that bring on the slaughter.

I saw the video several years ago. It's a favorite among vegetarians.

Rather gruesome in some areas. Doesn't make one hungry.

I really wonder if the video would have the same type of effect on the average Korean? In English speaking countries, we tend to hide the fact that we're eating animals. It's not cow meat, it's beef. And you never see a picture of a cow on a hamburger shop's window. But in Korea, you see that all over the place. A little cutesy pig with a chef's hat on, ready to be eaten by you. They seem to have a less delicate view toward animals here, and from shows I've seen, that might be true for many parts of Asia.

Some people think that if you eat an animal that suffered from torture that the meat is chemically different from eating animals that were raised humanely. True or not true, I still hate knowing that the animal on my table quite probably was tortured in its daily life.

Last week I saw a bag of chicken wings at Costco. After reading the name on the package, Tyson, I threw them back in the freezer. Tyson, I believe is the largest meat company in America. I don't know if I can trust their food.

Shock tactics aren't going to convince me that meat is bad.
