Trust me,seen it at several different establishments.

As to factory farming,unless you want to pay a lot for your meat,or better yet,raise and slaughter it yourself(our plan) then you don't have much choice.

Well folks, this is your typical FACTORY FARM.
This is not a "one off" either...these are how CAFO's are run.

And it's not just pigs either. Think about that next time you go to the meat aisle of your supermarket.

Don't buy that. Unless they raised and slaughtered it themselves they DO NOT know where it came from or how it was raised.

Nature, red in tooth and claw. What we do to them is only outdone by what they do to each other.

It's time to make a change, people. Even food animals do not deserve to be tortured.

They're going to be killed either way, who cares? Go cry with Ingrid Newkirk about it.

It would appear that some people do care

From this point forward, I will not eat meat of any kind in a restaurant since I don't know where the meat came from or how it was raised.

There is just NO excuse for this type of behavior.

Is it 'torture' when an elk is disemboweled while still alive by the pack of wolves?

What about when a dog pack tears the face off a calf?(someone actually had this happen to one of their calves,stray dogs.)

What of the hawk ripping apart the squirrel while it tries to escape?

Or is that 'natural' and so okay?

I thought this thread was the lamestream medias attack on Limbaugh or Beck's recent trip to NYC.

By all means, you are free to shed all of your clothing, run into the woods and live your life according to the ethical standards of wolves and hawks. The rest of humanity tends to expect a higher standard from our higher reasoning, though not very consistently sadly.
