I knows there's a few liked minded members on Beyond, so I thought I'd share this on here, it's a youtube stream of Dominion, a new documentary that is basically 2 hours of secret video of the torture that different types of animals endure in the agricultural industry all around the world.
I watched most of it and tried to view it from a perspective of a meat-eater. I just couldn't wrap my head around the acceptance of this stuff that goes on.
If you're a meat eater, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. If you know me in real life, you know I'm not one of these crazy judgemental wackjob vegans. You would never even guess it until I told you.
I struggled with guilt for many years because I knew this sort of thing happened every day but watching these videos remind me of why I choose not to eat meat anymore.
Most of the justification I've read is that "Oh this only happens in certain factories, most are humane and regulated and inspected by the government", I don't buy it. The film actually give reasons why those are lies. Even in the "most humane" of them, I can't wrap my head around how someone can spend all day forcing animals to slaughter and then actually doing it. I'd be interested in seeing studies on the psychological health of slaughterhouse workers.
