This American Life: This Little Piggy Made Me Vomit

Find the full episode. The parts that really got me were not even in this blurb.

If you can't find the episode:
The longest walk of their lives is onto the truck to slaughter, they live on a slatted floor above a resevoir of their own feces that stinks up the entire town, etc.

meat is murder!!.....tasty,tasty,murde r,mmmmmmmmmmmm

I can't imagine how anyone who watched the entire episode could ever eat meat again. I was an unapologetic carnivore up until I watched this episode and I have been an unapologetic vegetarian ever since. Zero backsliding, don't miss eating meat one little bit. All I can say is--you can't really get the essence of the piece from this clip, you would really have to watch the whole thing. Absolutely sickening and horrifying and should be required viewing for anyone who still eats meat.

there is nothing wrong that is going in any of that video it is all natural. Those pigs are treated better than some people. Heat in the winter cooled air in the summer. daily monitoring for disease. You peta or hsus hippies just need to go jump off a bridge.

I'm not from PETA or HSUS, nor do I like either of those orgs. But living above a reservoir of your own feces with 10 yards being the longest walk of your life is pretty wrong.

See, Lefty, all that meat makes you angry. Maybe you should increase your fiber intake, you seem a little constipated, too.

I'm angry no way. You animal rights organizations are trying to kill the american family farm. that is what makes me mad. trying to take away people's way of life because you want to eat grass. everybody can do what they want it's a free country. Do as you choose just leave others out of it.

Sorry to break it to you dude, but the American family farm as it pertains to livestock is deader than dead. And it takes just the most basic of research to understand that animal rights organizations had nothing to do with what farms have become today.

sad

this is sick
