Stop taking them for granted

This is the inexplicit version. To read the explicit version, simply replace nasty words in places where you deem appropriate.

Urrrghhhh....

Words cannot describe how I feel right now. Humans are nasty beasts.

Animals are really taken for granted. Yeah, sure. They're a food source la di da... But let's not talk about how animals are slaughtered just to feed humans for now, but the process of them being slaughtered.

Chickens, cows, lambs and hogs are hung upside down, still conscious. Slaughterhouse workers then slit their throats. The workers let them bleed to death. For cows, the workers collect their blood in a pail where the blood is used to make hamburgers. That's why your burger patties are so bloody red. No pun intended.

For those that actually make it or are still struggling, they will eventually drown when they are immersed in scalding water to remove fur or feathers.

That's for food.


Fashion? You know your leather jackets, shoes, belts and wallets? They're from dead cows, obviously. Dead India cows that were subjected to torture before giving you your luxury items.

I'm just confused on how India has thousands(?) of gods, with cows being one of their deities of some sort, yet they can go ahead and shoe the cow, make it walk long distances for days, day and night with no food or water. When they collapse from exhaustion, the workers rub chili pepper into their eyes to keep them up.

Exhausted cows that are locked in a truck are dragged out without the so-called steps or a plank that helps them get down from higher ground. The cows are just dragged down. Dragged. (??!?!!!)

And if they don't get up, their tailbones are broken by pinching/twisting the tail repeatedly. Another way to get them on their feet.

Aren't cows a sacred animal in India?!?!?!!

Pfft.


You know, all this while I thought lab rats or lab frogs were knocked out by inhaling chloroform.

Guess not! Maybe some. But apparently, not for frogs. They are paralyzed with a rod being stabbed/pushed through their spinal cord. I assume there aren't any anaesthetics used.

What are we doing, really? Just because humans want to study this and that they have to test animals. In my opinion, that's fine. But did they have to put the animals through pain?

It is said that fishes have more sensory nerves or something like that. There's also another saying that fishes are forgetful. If they have amazing sensory nerves, how can they forget the excruciating pain??

I feel so sad reading that :(. Guilty too because I play a part in it. But I wish the animals were not put through so much pain...

Yeah... Everyone should be made to sit down at watch footages of how humans get the things they have today in the expense of animals.
