You think your country doesn't abuse animals? Think again....

Another excellent post from George Martin:

This is a message to all my fellow human beings, worldwide.
I just want you to know—whatever your race, gender, religion, sexuality, or nationality, wherever you are—that your country is an animal-abusing shit-hole.
As I am tired of hearing comment after comment by people who want to deny that animals are treated like shit in their country, I have decided to compile a list of videos from many of your beloved utopias. My hope from this is that people can finally wake up and realise that the idea of "This doesn't happen here in ____" is a steaming pile of shit. Animal abuse, whether people want to admit it or not, is a WAY OF LIFE for all countries on this earth. For as long as animals are seen as sources of food and clothing, they will continue to be treated this way by the respective animal-abusing torture chambers you call home.
So without further ado, please see the videos I've complied from each country below. Feel free to spread this post far and wide to combat those in denial about the moral crimes that their country and its people are complicit in. Oh, and for the inhabitants of any countries I've left off the list, don't worry—I think your country is a piece of shit too. Many thanks.

(Please note: the number of videos a country has in the above list is NOT reflective of its comparison to other countries in the list with regards to animal abuse. Certain countries had videos that were easier to locate than others. All countries on the above list, and all countries not included on the list, participate in the systematic abuse of animals on a daily basis.)

(Further note: with regards to the less developed countries in the above list, I do not care for any apologist comments talking about how much harder it is for them, etc. All the acts you see above are acts of abhorrent savagery, plain and simple. If children are off-limits from being harmed by the people in the less developed countries above, so too are animals. In any case, the most important thing here is to show those living in the developed countries listed that animal abuse is a way of life there as well as in the poorer ones.)

Seven Facing Questions

Here is a post from a fellow vegan whom I am friends with on Facebook:


If someone is absolutely sure of their belief that there is nothing wrong with the purchasing and consumption of meat and animal products, then it would only make sense that they are able to COMFORTABLY answer the following questions (none of which are hypothetical, and all of which are based on the reality of animal agriculture).

So anyone out there who is sure there is nothing morally wrong with it, I would love to please know your answers to the below:

1. How old should calves be before they're separated from their mothers so that we can consume their milk? And for the male ones, how soon after separation should they be sent to slaughter?

2. What is your preferred method of killing male chicks, who are of no use to the egg industry because they can't lay, and no use to the meat industry because they don't grow fast enough for meat? Are you a grinding machine type or more of a suffocate in large sacks kind of person?

3. Which wild animals do you think need culling the most in order to protect your livestock before you purchase it? Do you think foxes or badgers, for example, are the biggest threat at the moment to the products you want to buy, and would you rather they were shot or hunted with dogs?

4. How long, ideally, should a journey be from farm to slaughterhouse for the animals you eat, on the slaughterhouse truck they're crammed on to?

5. How do you prefer the animals are taken off the truck into the slaughterhouse for their execution? For example, do you prefer the use of an electric prod, or should they just be kicked/thrown off?

6. What is your favourite way to impregnate a female animal? Do you prefer they are molested by hand, or that a metallic object is thrust into their vagina in order to impregnate them?

7. Are all of the above really worth it for a sandwich, and do they genuinely comprise something worth arguing for in general?
