Oh, that's just disgusting but all too common in the commercial meat industry. I agree, this has to stop. I really think most people would demand better treatment for these animals if they were aware of the suffering they endure.
This is a little off topic, but I want to say that I eat meat but am becoming less and less comfortable with it. I've tried finding a source of meat that is humanely raised and slaughtered but am having no luck in my area. For now, I've cut back on my meat eating and am eating more beans as a protein source.
I recently did a little looking around and found out about the horrors of the commercial pork industry. That especially bothered me because pigs are said to be more intelligent than dogs. I think the awful treatment is the norm for the commercial meat industry, no matter the animal. Whether we eat them or not, all animals deserve a good quality of life and a humane death. Cruelty is cruelty, whether it's done to a chicken, horse, pig, cow, or a pet. |
