Along those lines: If they knew how the BABY felt would they stop doing abortions?

I would have a very difficult time eating meat after going to a slaughterhouse, but I like meat, just couldn’t watch be in the area. Most likely would have to turn to fish/seafood and chicken.

This is what “college” has become. Teaching morons what it’s like to be a cow. Have you ever asked a cow for the time? What day it is?

Or we can just raise our own or buy it directly from the farmer who raises it the old-fashioned way. Good point about the abortions. There are far too many people who say they care about animals, but care nothing for unborn humans.

Since the only cows I eat are dead they don’t feel anything.

If this is how a baby feels, will you abort less?

I don’t know how a sewer worker feels, either, but guess what I’m not going to stop doing?

Animals do not feel painas people do.

Firstly, they are simply dropped on the ground at birth and within a short period of time are up and running with their mom. No human can do that.

A couple of months later, they are gathered, roped, tied down, injected with vaccines, branded (burned), any horns are cut off and nubs burned, if male, the lower two thirds of their scrotum are cut away and their testicles pulled from their body. In every single case, when they are let go, they will jump up and run away, sometimes charge a cowboy. They will all walk off with their moms.

No human could endure that and walk away. THEY DO NOT FEEL PAIN LIKE HUMANS!!

Have you ever heard the tortured screams of Broccoli as it is being harvested?

So what would happen if they buried you up to your neck in dirt for a couple months, yanked you out of the ground by the hair, diced you, and threw you into boiling water?

Would we then weep for the lowly carrot?

if you look at a cow you will see a large cube of meat with four short legs sticking out below. If you read about cows you will discover they have five stomachs for converting grass or grain to beef. I think they were perfectly designed to produce beef for some reason.

Only IDIOTS could think of spending this large sum of money on something so bizarre as this; while we continue to go deeper into unrecoverable debt.

A little meat mostly in the form of fish is probably beneficial, that is as far as I will go, even their deaths probably do take longer than the slaughter of livestock animals. Abortion has nothing to do with not eating meat. They don’t eat eggs not because the eggs are fertilized (they are not) but because they come from chicken that are badly mistreated on farms.
