McDonald's drops Egg Supplier over Animal Cruelty video

[DCAllAfrican]

^ Because they are living beings with feelings and souls. As "soft" as that answer might sound to most of you, that is the truth behind the matter. It is not right to treat anyone/anything (both equal man doesn't > animal) and anyone that is shown treating animals like they are just pieces of meat need to be dealt with.

Raising for food and abusing are not the same thing. That is the issue. Abuse.

but if these animals are bred for the specific purpose to be eaten, why do we care so much how they die??

theyre not blue ribbon dogs who are our family pets..nor are they animals in the wild fending for themselves...

these are farm bred animals that are only alive to grow fat and be ate....did not watch the vid btw(you seen one you seen em all)

serious question NT...dont go all lisa simpson on me

Because any living thing that can feel pain deserves the right to as harmless a life as possible. Inflicting pain like this is unethical and cruel, regardless of their 'purpose.'

moral reasons aside, the conditions in which these animals are kept in can have serious implications for their health, and can help become a breeding ground for various diseases and illnesses (such as mad cow, bird flu, e. coli, etc.)

Now, you're eating those animals. Animals that have lesions on their skin, who have been mutilated, exposed to various sicknesses, and have been raised in an unnatural environment. If what you eat isn't healthy, how can you expect to be healthy? Not only is this animal cruelty thing wrong on a moral level, but it can be detrimental to our health as a society; both mentally and physically. It instills in us that other inhabitants of this earth don't deserve our respect, and it teaches us to not be more conscious about what we put into our bodies.

Truth. If you guys are interested in this stuff, watch Food Inc. by Robert Kenner. Goes more in depth about animal cruelty in the food industry.

If people really care, read this book. She speaks about all of the nonsense that we deal with while eating meat. How these animals are affected by the nonsense that we do to them. Good read.

So you're basically stating that it was ok to treat slaves the way they were treated?
Their purpose was to serve, so it didn't matter what happened to them?
*don't give me the "but their human" argument, they weren't seen as equal back then*

srs, i'm waiting

QFT.

Animal cruelty to me is also like bad parents of "special"children. They didn't do anything wrong and have no clue what's going on and why they are getting abused.

lulwut? you're mad i brought up a valid point? It's the principle. Your missing the point, back then african americans weren't seen as humans (why else would they have been slaves). 


you say that chickens are just an ingredient? they said blacks were property...
what's your point?

Look at how humans handled Katrina.. humans put animals over people at one point. You got dogs on a greyhound bus leaving the scene vs. people being couped up in the Superdome.

Yes, very much so.

at comparing killing animals for food to slavery, what a terrible straw argument.

Yes, I'm one of those people. A person that is capable of understanding the concept of empathy. Now, what point were you trying to make with your post?

 

[supa vegetto]

I'm extremely empathetic towards the fair treatment of all living beings. The point I am making is that in the instance of a natural disaster... who should come first?

O rly? Says who? I'm curious what objective moral authority stated that it's acceptable to treat animals terribly and that humans are more important than animals. Do tell.
