Why don't People Care?

Question

i have been browsing for some ideas for dinner and went to www.goveg.com, when I took a link to this

http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/

and I just cant belive that so many people still dont give a f**k. its not just the health of the animal, its yours too if you consider what it was fed etc

What does everyone else think?

please be totally honest, i want to know why your a meat eater and how you justify that.

(please assure that i am not trying "convert" you, i just think that if people want to eat meat then shouldnt they care how the animal was treated and cared for first, after all, they have thoughts and feelings too, or maybe i'm missing something?)

Answer 1

I don't do links.

We are part of nature.

Animals eat each other.in nature.

We eat some.

Some eat us.

It's part of God's plan if you believe in God.

Even if you're an atheist you can't deny that nature exists and you are part of it.

What's your opinion on s*x? Should we ban it?

Answer 2

i totally agree with you but i don't think people like to think about it. in Vancouver there is a chicken processing plant in the east side and they leave the back door open. you can see the chickens ,upside down on conveyor belt going through to be slaughtered. i don't like like it and the smell is awful. we should be a lot more responsible and i would love to have an alternative to meat . not tofu though . i can only handle so much of that

Answer 3

I have a question for you. Do you actually look at the materials in your cloths and shoes? If you do then sure I can understand where your coming from; but to be honest with you most persons who don't eat meat don't pay attention to their cloth etc... Do I feel there should be a more humane way to slaughter for mass consumption. I prefer fishing and hunting because then at least your protecting the environment via keep a check of deer population, goose, etc... Reason being because people build so much that one house totally messes up the animal population with in a mile radius so most endangered species are caused by lack of habitat. Like in Ohio  there is no longer enough natural predator's to keep the deer population under control so hunting is a need and it just happens to feed it's people. will I eat cow and other meets that go to slaughter yes. Do I agree with it no.

Answer 4

tell me one good reason why i should justify myself to you ?

Answer 5

I am an omnivore - i.e. I eat (inter alia) meat. However I have NEVER and WILl NEVER frequent a KFC establishment - not because I disapprove of their methods - but simply because I have a keen regard for my stomach and digestion and would not put any of their rubbish anywhere near my mouth.

Answer 6

Maybe the answer is for more people to try mycoprotein products, such as Quorn.  Some of it, when done with a delicious sauce, is indistinguishable from, for example,  chicken or pork.  In fact, I bet a lot of people who order certain dishes in restaurants eat mycoprotein  without knowing.  

And you don't have to feel guilty about eating what is, after all, a sort of 'micro-mushroom'!

Answer 7

I just don't want to go clicking all over the bloody place just to answer one of your questions thank you very much. I'm quite capable of coming to my own decisions without prompts.

Answer 8

Hi Kerry,

I was a vegetarian for ten years, but now I do eat some meat (sometimes). I totally agree with you, Just because an animal has been grown for food and will eventually be killed is not a free pass to mame injure abuse mistreat or cause suffering to it. It should be well looked after and cared for while they are alive and the "slautering act' should be as quick and as ethical toward the animal as possible, anything else is just wrong :-)

Answer 9

i'm a meat eater but I'm starting to think that it's time we all started buying meat that's locally and organically reared and that has the freedom to roam. Apart from ethical considerations it would help provide employment for local businesses instead of the big corporations.

Answer 10

We are the top of the food chain and it is bred into us to enjoy the tast of meat, also on a physiological level we just do not feel as sated with a carrot as we do with a chunk of succulent roast chicken

Answer 11

Kerrie i so agree with you ,sadly i just havnt got the willpower to stop eating meat,however i do try to find out where it comes from and that it has had a good life and is humanely slaughtered but this not an easy thing to find out, and we cant all afford to buy organic.

Answer 12

cos its yummy

and i didnt look at your link...cos i dont wanna know whats on the end of it!

No-ones ruining my dinner!!

Answer 13

I don't eat a lot of meat anymore. I probably wouldn't be if i didn't live with my family.

Just so you know this post is not going to make anyone stop eating meat.

Answer 14

I was on vacation once and we passed a cattle farm...I stopped to take a look and saw all these beautiful bulls walking towards me. I got scared as they stared at me strangely...I saw a sort of sad look on their faces and I figured it was a meat farm...they were bred for their meat because there were only male cows! I was so upset after figuring out the farm slaughtered the animals not so far from where they grazed. I can't bear eating meat after seeing those poor animals that knew how dreadfully their life was going to end.

I feel like crying for those poor chickens that suffered all that pain just to be fried in batter. I never bought from KFC and will never buy from them again.

Answer 15

I've just watched the videos,the treatment of those birds is  disgusting....yes i do eat meat...more fish than meat. I do care how that living thing is treated before it reaches my plate. The actions of those thugs is totally wrong. they must have some sadistic streak in their minds.....lets hope those idiots don't have pets or children.
