Google factory farms and then we will talk. Until then, you are making a fool of yourself and should hush.

Don't tell me to hush, you half-brained bastard! Do you think I'll trust waht your precious PETA quasi-colt would post over what /actual/ pig farmers do? Why don't you take your anti-farmer hogwash and preach to someone dumb enough to believe you.

@ITF Maybe, you should stop looking up organisations that have a clear strong bias against livestock and look at the other side of the story as well. Perhaps you could adopt a moderate point of view and not make a fool of YOUR self by attempting to force your strong opinion on others.

Did you watch the video? Does it look photoshopped to you? I am a farmer myself. But I farm food, not animals.

@8theGreat - Everyone needs to know the truth. Some people will do anything for money and the animals suffer for it. If you buy it, you support it.

@ITF My brother-in-law used to work on a pig farm where they actually took great care of the animals. The stalls were clean, the barn ventilated, the animals clean. They were fed well and treated with care and kindness during their lives. They weren't nearly as harsh as PETA wants you to believe. And yes, it was a factory farm. We went there on more than one occasion, and it wasn't anything near the heinous animosity videos like what you've posted depict farms to be. Which seems more likely- all livestock farms being as horrible and terrible as PETA and other groups portray them to be, or that PETA and other groups intentionally pick out the worst of the worst factory farms to use as propaganda? Personally, I think the latter is far more likely, but believe as you will.

I'm not saying that farms like what you've posted are non-existent and faked, I'm quite certain that that's a real place and that they do treat animals in such ways. However, to believe that atrocious and nasty farms are the majority of farms that supply meat is as silly and unfounded as it is to believe that they are all heavenly places where animals are treated as respected gods.
