If aliens tortured and slaughtered humans for food, is that OK too? Because seemingly they do.

People are frequently found with their blood completely drained and their various body parts removed and dumped in the middle of fields in remote places under mysterious circumstances. And they are often found just like the bizarrely mutilated cows and farm animals are found everywhere on earth, missing the same parts and mutilated in the same ways, with a laser of some sort. In some cases no more than an hour or 2 goes by before the ranchers find the dead animals or humans, sometimes multiple kills, all with no tracks, and no blood and the same body parts removed.

Obviously something predatory is going on here, and has been for a very long time, but why and who remains unanswered. So enjoy your tortured meat all, but just remember you could be eaten, too. But by your obviously warped meat eating logic if the aliens are higher on the food chain than you, then you do not have a problem with it if they torture and eat your family, right?

Was kind of thinking something along those lines as well. What if we were on the menu? What if we were raised and harvested just like food animals? What if the pig screaming was your mother, father, sibling, etc? Still okay right?

Are you implying that we should give up bacon and pork chop?
 
I love pork. LOVE it. If every other meat disappeared except pork, I'd be fine. So I don't care that pigs get killed. But Jesus, do it humanely so they don't suffer and go through that agony. Don't you mouthy retards get it that there's a difference between torturing and animal and killing it for food?

It was never anal probing. The alien overlords were just adding stuffing for flavor.

I agree. There is no need whatsoever to torture animals just because they're raised to be food. Let it live decently, and when its time to slaughter it, do it as quickly and painlessly as possible.
 
Before I even opened this thread i knew it would be Smithfield. I am from NC and they are known for bad treatment of employees and many other violations. Just pork is NCs new tobacco.
 
This is why I'm trying to make the shift to buying my meat from local, family farms. It's more sustainable, better meat, and you don't have the factory farm shit.

Animals aren't people, and peta is a bunch of dicks, but there's a better way.
 

After I watched the video I still felt no sympathy for that pig. I don?t agree with the abuse the pig got before slaughter just felt no sympathy.
 
Jesus. I couldn't never work in a place like that... to drag around a pig by it's ear while it's screaming like that? Fuck that. I realize that there's a large demand for pork, but is it necessary to be such a complete in-human asshole to the animals and torture them? It's seriously just fucked up.
 
i am sure all the morons in this thread with the holier then thou attitude took the exact opposite stance concerning Mike Vick and his dogs.
 
i hate how they try to dramatize and propagandize everything. like the part where they are moving the pigs. yeah, i'm sure it didn't feel good, but if it hurt that bad the pig always had the option to move. it was just being stubborn. and as far as writing "kill" on it: who the fuck cares? can the pig fucking read!? is it going to suffer humiliation because of it? no. stfu.
the dude admitted it was wrong to hit the pig. but it was a reaction to being bitten. still not write, but i wouldn't necessarily call it sadistic abuse.
the tail cutting without anesthesia is pretty harsh. as is the confinement. the other malarkey just distracts from those valid points.

btw. i'm a vegetarian.
 
Wow a bunch of you are total dicks. It's bad enough we are killing them for their sections of deliciousness. How hard is it to kill them humanely? Do we really need to torture the poor tasty animals? Sick fuckers.
 
I watched a PETA documentary on HBO the other day. Wow there is some crazy videos they have gotten of animal abuse that makes me sick to my stomach, and gag even sometimes.

That shit is just wrong, we don't need to pamper them but damn throw them around and break bones, make them bleed to death. That shit is all unneccesary.

I've raised animals, pigs, cows, many different kinds of polutry. I think pigs were the worst to butcher as they made those damn high squeling noises after you shot them.
 
I really didn't think much was wrong with the video - I was prepared for a much stronger shock. I really didn't see a whole lot of abuse going on. Most of it was pigs squealing when being forced outside. It didn't look like they were really abusing them getting out - not like in the one that was posted about a month ago with the chicken farm where they were slamming them against the wall and stuff.
I mean, my daughter screams bloody murder sometimes when I'm trying to get her in her carseat when she doesn't want to - that doesn't mean she's getting abused! 😛

The problem is if the workers had feelings towards the pigs, then they couldn't kill them. In order for these people to keep our bellies filled with pig flesh, they have to have an insensitive attitude towards their product.
Could you raise an animal and nurture it and then when the day comes, could you look at it and simply kill it?

It's a shit job for people in the sticks, but someone has to do it. IF they get jollies from killing and abusing the pigs good for them, it probably keeps some of these people from doing it to humans. BLAME CANADA.

You're kidding right? The pig was just being stubborn? You realize it's a pig and it's not rationally debating whether it will survive if he obeys his hostage taker's order, right? You have a point about writing "kill" on the pig but having a hook through your nose does not make you want to obey. Flight or fight instincts will generally kick in when undergoing pain.

I suspect some of them are joking. I also suspect some aren't.

Now, I'm far from a PETA-activist - I don't think the pigs need featherbeds to sleep on or anything - but I also think people going out of their way to be cruel have issues.
 
I think my only concerns about abuse of animals used as food is whether it affects the end product (sanitation). Because if you start focusing on the life of the animal, even if it's entire life was controlled by robots with absolutely 0 cruelty, we would still be abusing the existence of that animal.

That might sound weird when you start comparing your pet dog to the pig, but then again, do you work in a place where thousands of pet dogs get turned into lunch for people day in and day out? I'm sure that would change your perspective.
