How much money have you donated towards industry reform versus supporting current practices?
It would be kind of like me giving someone $100 every week to go around torturing and squashing dogs and kittens, and telling everyone that I don't see any moral issue with it, that I support reform. But I keep right on paying the puppy-squasher to do his job. Do you see how I wouldn't really be supporting reform in that scenario?
Its funny... most people would never tithe ten percent of their salaries to any good cause, no matter what the benefits, but they consistantly send a substantial percent of their earnings to the meat and dairy industries. Then they deny any responsibility or accountability for what they're funding. I don't understand that. If you're paying for it, how are you not supporting it? |
How many of you who criticize the animal industries have ever visited one? I grew up around dairies and meat packing plants and have never seen the atrocities that you speak of. Dairy animals are fed the best feed available and live long productive lives. Feed lot animals are also treated very well. It make no sense to feed people a diseased product. Federal inspectors monitor every step of the process. Ooh! OoH! I know the Feds are in on the conspiracy also. If this is true, then why do they prefer beef as their meal of choice? Would they feed their families a diseased product? My Dad wouldn't and he was a Federal meat grader. He still considers beef the cleanest form of animal protein. The bird industry is a different story. There is a reason that the call them dirty birds.
