Pleased to Meat You?
The old adage “pleased to meat you” was a popular if excruciating epithet for butchers in my ‘home country’! One thing is for certain — the video below should not please anyone who considers they have an ounce of humanity in their mind, body or soul! To be sure this is evidence that ‘one man’s meat is another man’s poison’ — for much of these activities displayed are truly poisonous on a deeply psychological level… And just another part of the current paradigm that has to shift soon…
As a lifelong meat-eater who has been ‘progressing’ (perhaps too slowly) towards vegetarianism over the last few years for philosophical, ethical and (dare I say) — spiritual — reasons (not to mention being cajoled by an increasing number of other parties)… this may be the video that helps tip the balance and achieve the objective in 2012…
Let me be clear I still tend towards the viewpoint that eating meat is ‘natural’ for ‘omnivores’ such as Homo sapiens — and indeed, such eating habits — along with cooking food — may well have contributed positively towards our evolution into the ‘thinking being’ that we are supposed to be… But that said — there perhaps comes a time when the occasional animal caught in the wild and made into a meal is a far cry from the horrific reality of the ‘meat industry’ of today. Taking a wild animal who has led a free and natural existence. and therefore had some quality of life, maybe still seem cruel yet the the beast has not be subjected to barbarism en route to the plate!
There can be NO moral or ethical justification for the barbarous, inhumane and ‘inhuman’ methods employed on a supposedly acceptable level by the industry as a whole, and on a wholly unacceptable level by the those who have become ‘desensitized’ and ‘psychologically impaired’ individuals who are unfortunate enough to have to work in this travesty that is called an ‘industry’.
One might observe that ‘living creatures’ have become no more than ‘machines’ that produce meat — BUT this would still be inaccurate as machines are generally treated far better than these poor animals…
The meat industry is an aspect of humanity that OUGHT to make us ashamed to be humans – and proves at this time beyond doubt — that we are (s long as we do not speak out against such practices) not only complicit in this torture — but also far less than the so-called ’sentient’ and ‘conscious’ advanced-beings that we like to think that we are…
Shocking and sickening scenes — you have been warned — but don’t fail to watch this — then pass it on to everyone you know… and THINK about any morsel of ‘manufactured meat’ that passes your lips in 2012!
