Animal Cruelty Videos

http://www.vegan.com/ - Just saw a video of mistreated calves at a plant in Vermont. All I can say is that it made me cry. I guess I was a little primed because I just read Jonathan Safran Foer's book "Eating Animals" and "Skinny Bitch" by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnounin. I also recently saw a movie called 'Fowl Play" by Mercy for Animals. The indifference and ignorance of the general population to all the cruelty, health, environmental and worker abuse issues in factory farming is starting to get to me. I try to do my part in my personal life and spreading the word to those who will listen, but sometimes I just get so darn frustrated. It seems so clear to me that eating animal carcasses that are pumped with drugs and toxins who have been standing in their own waste and then knowing that they have suffered a cruel life and a cruel death to feed human beings is so wrong. Where is the outrage? Where is the government? In a so-called civilized society, how do we let these things continue? .......back to the video - the calf was on it's back being kicked and prodded - I could see the fear in its eyes and hear the hate and disrespect in the voice of the slaughterhouse worker.............. yet we still order veal parmesan. I would choke on it.... yes, i would!
