The animals that I consume. I don't really care what happens to them before they get to my plate. I would torture them myself if I could as long as they got into my belly and tasted pretty damn good.

Bleh, my aunt buys the Morningstar stuff because she's vegetarian and I've tried it but it's not my cup of tea at all.

I've cut back on red meat in general since I started trying to eat better but there is no way that I'm letting go of fish and chicken.

Also, you guys care so much about the treatment of animals before they reach your plate what about the murderous conditions of the plants that you consume before they reach your plate? huh? All those pesticides that they have to endure.

Having said all of that I will watch it but it won't have any effect on me as these type of documentaries never do. I watched Food Inc. and it didn't do anything for me.

Honestly your lack of empathy for animals disgusts me.

I watched the documentary, it was so sickening and sad. I think more people need to see it. I thought the worst part was the skinned cow. The poor kittens with eye infections that had to be used for science was awful. I've seen many Peta campaigns about how cats are used for research.

It's a lack of empathy for animals that I'm going to consume not for the ones that I consider pets or domesticated.

Oh and I completely didn't see that you mentioned Peta. They are the worst of the worst!

First of all, why do you only care for your pets? What makes your pets so much more important than a cow or a pig or a chicken, animals which are all as smart if not smarter than what you own? What makes humans better than other animals? Is it ok for us to essentially torture millions living things just to make you something that tastes good but is in no way necessary? You're exhibiting a general disregard for life, and that's really sad.

Also, what exactly makes PETA so terrible?

I only care for pets because I'm not going to be eating them that's why. I'm not trying to say that the other animals aren't important or are of lesser intelligence. It's just that I plan to eat them and they will have to die for me to consume them. Also , I see that you decided to disregard the plant life that is being killed to fill your dietary needs.

PETA may have good intentions but they go about it the wrong way consistently.

I agree with their intentions sometimes but holy shit do they fail execution wise.

Going after Super Mario Bros over the Tanuka Suit? Going after Assassians Creed video game over whaling? There is a whole laundry list of things similar to those two.

Wow, you're really just not that compassionate of a person, are you? Your blatant cruelty is applauded for it's pride, that's for sure.

Your quote, that's called, "speciesism". Not to say that you care. But one day, at the rate of our unified and somewhat general sense of over consumption and lack of compassion, we will lose animals. And one thing that humans tend to forget, is we need them for sustainability, they however, do not need us.

Psssh I don't buy that, knowing you...

He is a big teaser on any subject. Welcome to the world of kind living, Phantom and Honey. Subconsciously you had to have known demonstrating such passion is "asking for it" =P

At the end of the day (after all is said and done) my six pussies get Science Diet (the only cat food good enough for human consumption) as directed by their very talented and compassionate team of vets Mommy spends thousands on each year. I asked him if cats can be vegan and he said, "They get REALLY sick..."
If anyone doesn't believe that, they can take it up with my veterinarians, I will show you the link to their bios, you can read their years of devotion, study, and schooling for animal care, and contact them.

Peace

Oh you too? I feed my babies Science Diet as well. I get them the Oral Care kind to take care of their teeth. Yes, Crazy you do know me well so quickly better than some people that I've supposedly known me for years.

I wouldn't go so far as to torture the chickens or fish that I am going to later eat but I am aware that they are subject to harsh conditions because of all of these shock films that are out. I've already seen other films of the same nature but that's not going to stop me from consuming the diet that I'm currently on. It's not like if I stopped purchasing those products that they will automatically start treating those animals better before shipping them out to other consumers so what's the point?
