What kinda hippie a$$ kids are we raising?

[racrguy]

I have no problem with people getting more in tune with where our food actually comes from. You don't have to hunt wild boar with a rambo knife in order to get a little more in touch and raise your awareness of the food chain and the circle of life.

I did not watch the videos. Just playing devil's advocate against some of the comments

I always love it when people don't see cows, chicken and pigs as food but instead as a house pet. I'm always like "You do realize you're raising dinner, right?"

[silverhatch]

It was funny but I will give them credit they did it. There are a lot of people that would have walked away.

Meh, I don't see anything wrong with that video. They seemed to come to grips with it in a reasonably intelligent way.

Exactly. I expected to some extreme animal rights yet these hipsters picked out the chicken, slit its throat, then cooked and ate it.
Have no problem with the video....

You probably know a lot of those people.

Because "he's a fucking liberal", right?

[Gasser64]

You really gonna say he hasn't demonstrated that? At least in large part. Granted I might be wrong about you and a few others, but you're certainly not constitutionalists.

You're a constitutionalist?

[Gasser64]

To the degree that I think more needs to be added to it, and further restrictions put on government at the federal and state and local level. So purely? I guess I would have to say no. Because purity wouldn't be adding anything to it. But I think you get my point. Many people here don't see a problem with them bypassing it. Hence the mob mentality I was arguing with exlude about. The "mob" is gonna do what it wants to do, and the laws of the land be damned.

Have spent my entire career (20+ years) in food processing facilities, heavily in poultry slaughter thru ready to eat- lunch meats. I've seen virtually every process, very little has given me pause, except for one time walking onto the kill floor in a horse slaughter facility, really rocked me. I have since moved my attentions to the confectionary process, where the most greusome thing I may face is a cavity.

[Gasser64]

Like where they make glue out of the hooves? What about it was so disturbing to you?

While I knew it was a more benificial alternative to being "hoof up" out in some field (primarily being processed for zoo meat and overseas human consumption), horses truly are "pets" to me. Seeing them capped, then hoisted up had a profound effect on me.

[Gasser64]

So in other words, don't sell old horses to the factory. Unless you want them to meet a rather gruesome end.

[razrbak]

I'll say it's a quick death. Better than passing, out on a pasture? You'll have to ask the horse that one.
Horse slaughter is no longer legal in the US, they get trucked to Mexico or Canada.

I think they opened that New Mexico plant back up.
