Yah but people dont make factories dedicated to giving birth to human babies, separating them from their mothers without milk, and then slaughtering the females to be sent off to some "hungry" other species. In addition, people dont box up human babies in a 3x3 where they cant stand so a few months later they could be slaughtered as an innocent baby. Just think of it that way.

Someone was going to post this up at one time or another, so here goes...
This.
Here, have some rep. +1
I call bullshit. Where do beans and other natural protein sources play a role in this question?
The fact is that humans do NOT need meat to survive, it is a tasty desire.
In-N-Out burger, Whole Foods, etc... fucking Missouri, I've never even seen one of these places in real life.
Are you enjoying your cheeseburger?

Yep, this is fucking stupid.
Rabbi Chaim Kohn, of the AgriProcessors plant, says the steers feel nothing, even as they struggle on the floor and slam their heads into walls. "Unconsciousness and the external behavior of the animal have nothing to do with shechita," he said.
seriously?

Right, those are two things that people don't do. I was talking about some of the stuff that people do do.
If we humans are products of nature and we are here on Earth surviving, then isn't any action that we carry out "natural human behavior" by definition? Why is the wolf/sheep example acceptable as natural but not human/cow?
Eat good meat, well reared and humanely killed, locally sourced if possible. Accept that a lot of people are a lot more concerned about whether they can get any food at all not how it is reared or killed. Despise and pity those who live in societies that are educated and wealthy enough to know better, yet still do this shit in the name of their religion.
Fortunately in the west this stuff isn't that common, the growth hormone shit given to cows in the milk industry is a lot more concerning...

We get most of our meat from the amish. It is better for the most part -- fresher at least.... and less hands touching it or freezing it.
Most of the meat you get at the grocery store has been butchered in a slaughter house, rolled down a conveyor, chopped up by illegal immigrants, flash frozen, shipped in a truck to your store where it sits in said box while it thaws, then opened by the guy who makes 10 dollars an hour and put in those little Styrofoam containers (opps wait - sometimes they have to add a dye to it so it looks "proper" for you), then it sits out where the general public paws all over it.
YUM
