[CHICKENS-101] Re: Eating Non-Traditional Meats

 

Alot of those videos are setup by the "anti" crowd to ellicit sympathy for their crusades. All the time there are exposee' of the one's who are suppoded to be exposing the "abuses." Alot of them have been caught "abusing" animals to get the footage they need to make the news. While real abuses do occur; I wouldn't believe most of the footage; because they are not above lies to make their story...

The horse was petrified rearing up as they put him in the cell to be shot,now I don't know if this was a video they put out there that wasn't typical (to get the public upset) or if it was.I wouldn't mind horses being used for meat if they were  treated humanely but look at how meat animals across the country are treated at certain facilities it is awful! I was just thinking that that poor horse grew up his whole life thinking humans are good things then his life ends frightfully!
