Bullshit. I have been just fine without eating meat. Apples do not have brains; they cannot think, nor are they slaughtered. I do not kill THINKING BEINGS, beings that feel pain and consciously avoid death. And I cannot understand why people would.

PS. Apples have evolved to be eaten.

I really wanna turn vegetarian now. Killing those sentient beings for food is just not right. We as humans need to make a conscious choice whether or not such bloodbath is needed for our future generations. Need, not greed and gluttony, should guide our dietary choices.

@Writerandartiste Killing is fine, it's natural. We do it in unneeded excess, that's the problem. There is nothing finer in life than a nicely cooked Filet Mignon with a side of string beans and potatoes but that is a luxury I only rarely have.

@RedSoxForObama As far as WE know Apples are not thinking beings. Also just as Apples have evolved to be eaten so have animals, it's kind of how life works on this planet; you should get a copy of the tourist brochure, some interesting stuff in there.

sorry I cant watch it more! Poor horse! Poor all this animals!

[clioandminnie]

All to satisfy man's inhumanity. Why are some animals slaughtered in a such grotesque, brutal and babaric manner compared to others. The poor innocent calves deserved a more humne method of killing instead of being treated as inate, unfeeling objects.

@thehazierhazy Ignorance, It's not just accidentally. My original post was, meant as a joke, hence the next sentence reads, "All kidding aside..." Clearing land for crops kills millions of animals each year. Rabbits, ground hogs, moles, among other field animals. So next time you sit on your high horse to enjoy your animal free meal realize your salad is just as bloody as my rare steak.

Send me some links, I'd love to read some good research. Interested to see who funds it also.

That horse was killed in a far more humane manner than commonly occurs in today's slaughterhouses. The horse showed no sign of being frightened. It was well treated to the last moment. While I do not want horses to be killed for any reason except to end suffering, the treatment of that horse long ago was better than many would receive today at slaughter. Perhaps we can learn something from the past. Such as more compassionate treatment even of animals that are headed for the menu.

After watching this film, I'm still going to consume meat, because this is in human nature and we can't deny it; all in all one of 1st professions was hunting. But I gained higher level of awareness. I wish we could eat only what we need not more, and not waste food like back in a day .

[thehazierhazy]

@petard84 why do people who kill for eating like to say the vegs actually kill animals (accidentally)? do you think that's an argument? is so stupid and you use it because you do not have anything else to say.

i would like to see you read one of hundreds research studies about how eating meat is awfully bad for human body.

Herp derp don't understand concept of harm reduction as opposed to elimination.
