I have been checking out a few Web sites in regards to how I can help stop suffering in animals which are breeded to be slaughtered for Meat. Having watched a Cow being slaughtered the process absolutely disgust me. Basically I thought Cow's etc were given a quick death, naivly thinking they were given a bullet through the brain or something similar. But to my shock the animals are strung upside down, stunned by electric shock then have the Jugular slit with a Knife! In a video I watched the Cow wasn't even stunned properly, and ended up kicking and trying to free itself from the chain while bleeding slowly and painfully to death! It was absolutey shocking to watch.

Now I am a strict Vegetarian, but I'm not naive enough to expect everyone to become one and therefore save the torture of these poor animals. But surely in this day and age we can find a more humane way of slaughtering our animals.

And before anyone says it, the arguement that it makes the beef more succulant or whatever, cuts no ice with me.

I don't eat red meat, the way they kill poultry has changed in recent years if i'm correct. I try my best not to look into it though or i'll be a vegetarian again before i know it. Having seen Pigs being slaughtered at a friends farm i will probably never eat red meat again.

Sounds like you may have seen a video/picture of a halal/kosher slaughter. Not too sure though but think i remember hearing about it before.

Kosher is I believe a ritualistic slaughter method

No this is how Cow's (not sure about other animals) are slaughtered in the UK, the Video I watched was taken from a UK based slaughter house. I'm led to believe that in ritualistic slaughters the animals are not even stunned. But I think that is a totally different discussion.

Vegan propaganda is a wonderful thing.

Been watching Peta videos before bedtime again, have we?

I really do think the way some animals are slaughtered is an absolutely appauling but the whole "humane murder" debate is a neverending circle.

I'm all for animal welfare and all that but fuck the preachy whining vegans. I love red meat and white meat equally and i love my veg. eat yer meat and eat yer greens and shut the fuck up.

Now i am going to have a sirloin minute steak sandwich and shut the fuck up.

Not really, did a bit of research over the weekend and was surprised at what I found, that is all

And I don't think I ever mentioned anyone being or becoming Vegans, I am fully aware that this would be a ridiculous Ideology to have. But, I don't see why we can't use our advanced knowledge to save other living creatures suffering pain in order for us to survive
