A very powerful animal rights video (WARNING: do not watch if squeemish!)

I just realized I violated rule 3 by posting this video without a conversation starter, so... What do you guys think of this documentary? Do you agree with the method of persuasion and content included in the video?
I for one have a problem with the method of persuasion used. For instance, when I read the slogan, "make the connection," after watching the video I see, "make the connection, idiots." IMO if someone wants to change the would with a documentary, they should let the footage speak for itself, and keep any condescending attitudes, and emotional commentary out of it. This is what gives animal rights activists such a bad rap. Otherwise, I thought it was an excellent film, and revealed the truth about animal cruelty throughout the world in a righteous and tasteful manner.

That's a fine piece of propaganda. Ever seen video of a wildebeest eaten alive by lions, still lowing while it is eviscerated by the pack? I have. Almost every animal death in the natural world is horribly painful. That we kill any animals humanely is a credit. I do not condone animal torture on that basis but facts are facts. We are a predatory species. Top of the food chain. We are much more respectful than any other species in how we harvest our animal food.

veal cattle are slaughtered within the 4 months, not a long lifespan at all, sows and their piglets in farrowing crates happens coso the sow doesnt crush the piglets, typically when they arent crated 6-8 out of 10 piglets will die before they're weaned and cattle, dairy and otherwise are grazed on pasture most of the time because it's too cost prohibitive to feed a cow 50lbs of food per day, especially grains

EP doesn't understand that not only is death horrible in the natural world but so is life. Animals are in constant fear of predation and under constant pressure to get enough food. There is nothing romantic about it.

Yes well run farms are far superior to the wild. Factory farms probably are as well. The wild is vicious.

this is the biggest bunch of bullshit i've ever read. I'm not even going to post the videos of animal torture i've seen because they are disgusting and i don't want to watch them again to make sure they have to correct content to disprove you.
animals don't skin animals alive and leave the animal to die bleeding to death or of instant infection they get when their epidermis is cut off.
the fact is people take pleasure in torture, there is no benefit from skinning an animal alive, it moves around and is likely to rip the fur you are trying to sell. people do things for pointless reasons.
if a wildebeest is eating an animal alive, it is doing so for a reason, for a nutritional value you somehow get from doing this. it's genetic and predetermined instinctively.
a lion has no disregard for what it kills, you can tame a lion in a zoo, make it super friendly, but turn around and face your back to it, and trip and fall over, and watch out, they'll attack you. it's in their brain and can't control it. it's what prey looked like before they attack, and they can't decide the difference between that and a friend when they see this.
how in the world can you say animals are as fucked up as people? and not just people towards animals, not just animal vivisections, but towards each other also. show me the animal equivalent of josef menegele or shiro ishii, and i will disregard my opinion and cease my argument immediately and stand down from ever disagreeing with you ever again.

Maybe you should try reading what I wrote again. And then drop all your noble animal nonsense. They sure as shit do skin their prey alive and leave it flopping. Ever see a grizzly eat a salmon? Do you know how Komodo dragons kill? They bite their prey and follow it for days as it slowly dies from infection. The vast majority of animals harvested for human consumption are do so reasonably humanely. Far more so than Nature. That's why they call it humane.

yeah....... right

if you continue to disagree with me, without video evidence of what you are ignorantly saying that other animals do that is crueler, i'll be forced to put you on ignore, that video literally made me sick to my stomach. i hope the guy that did that gets shot.
i can't even believe the thing was still blinking
please don't just post crap over and over because you have an opinion and can never be wrong. i'm pretty sure i won this argument with that horrific video

You still, apparently, have not read my post. I do not condone animal torture. The people in those videos are assholes. Their behavior does not reflect on mine or even a sizable population of humans. And there is never a question of what other animals doing being cruel. Animals cannot be cruel. But they most certainly can and do inflict far more painful deaths in the natural world than almost anything any humans do.
Are you seriously gong to say you have never seen any nature footage of grizzlies stripping salmon or a pride of lions gathered around a still lowing wildebeest or about how Komodo dragons kill. Then we can get to bugs, where we find several parasitic wasp species that lay their eggs in other bugs so their larva will have live fresh food. Do you live in a petting zoo? Are you really that ignorant?

yes of course i know wasps lay their eggs in paralyzed prey so their larvae will eat fresh food. i almost thought of getting a cockroach wasp to get rid of my cockroach problem, but then realized that i'd have a major wasp problem, which would be worst

EntheogenicPeace said: To pris, you are wrong. The high mortality you speak of w/o farrowing crates (which are only slightly more spacious than gestation crates where the sows spend most of their lives & can’t every turn around) is a result of their terrible conditions they live in & their obesity.
wow, for someone so knowledgeable you know nothing, unless they're slaughtered right after their first litter is weaned then they certainly arent spending their lives in gestation and farrowing crates, over breeding of any animals leads to birth defects
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestation_crate#Farrowing_crates A few days before giving birth, sows are moved to farrowing crates, which are slightly wider so they can lie down to nurse. Crates have 1'6" "troughs" on each side where the piglets can safely lie without being in danger of sow overlay (when the sow lays down on top of a pig).
Quote:
Naturally sows take good care of their piglets
I grow up on a farm & will (hopefully) be doing a good deal of that once I’m done w/my education
I live on a farm, I've grown up around farms, it's the reason I've bought this one, seems that even if you win the rat race you're still a rat, the simple fact of the matter is that there's a heavy loss in pig breeding due to accidental suffocation, selection pressure, etc... seen it a hundred times, half a litter or less survives when farmed 'traditionally'
Quote:
P.S. Most dairy CAFOs do not graze their animals; they are kept confined all year.
prove it, try doing so without the use of the animal rights lies and propaganda sites, I've see dairy operations many times throughout my life and the cattle were pastured, brought in for milking where they were allowed to eat feed grains and after milking were sent back out again, brought back in for a second milking and sent back out for the night, these are herds of 500-1000 head for milking, it's cost prohibitive to confine cattle of any kind for any extended period. for a single cow to be confined for 24 hours requires 50lbs of feed, considering a bag of feed cost around $12 that's going to be expensive when you have 500 head to feed, to the tune of $6000/day but lets say they get a break and only spend $4000/day on feed, they still have the other overhead like rampant disease in confined cattle, resistance to antibiotics if they're using medicated feeds, veterinary bills, labor, etc... with a cow giving about 2 gallons of milk per day, that's $8/head per day totaling the low end of the food bill at a mere $4000/day for 500 head of cattle, how's the labor going to get paid, what of the other expenses like maintenance
I beg you, please tell me how wrong I am, that feed doesnt cost what it does, that they use hormones to make cows produce double the quantity of milk so I can smack you down some more with facts as opposed to emotional masturbation
Quote:
P.P.S. Veal calves in crates have it as bad as any animal for the 1-4 months they live in misery. They require far more preventative antibiotics than other animals on factory farms bc they are in such poor health (and can't move or socialize, or even experience sunlight), including being intentionally anemic by withholding iron.
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/Veal_from_Farm_to_Table.pdf Antibiotics may be given to prevent or treat disease in the veal calf. Penicillin is not used in calf raising: tetracycline has been approved but is not widely used. For more information, see our publication Veal from Farm to the Table.
hutches are used more often that crating because it prevents the spread of disease, I think it's time you seriously question where your information is coming from

EntheogenicPeace said: You didn't refute that mortality rates can be kept down w/proper care & spacing w/o using farrowing crates, as those who raise them w/o doing so can attest.
You also didn't refute that most sows stil lspend a majority of their lives unable to move in gestation stalls.
well you're misinformed on so much and your reading comprehension level is so low I didnt want to destroy everything you believed you knew in one shot because I certainly did touch on one of these subjects but you must have just overlooked it in your desire to pump out a emotive response on the cruelty of everything around you
Quote:
Use of BGH (courtesy of Monsanto) is widespread in U.S. despite being banned in virtually all other developed nations. There's no point debating grazing vs. confinement of dairy cattle is you refuse to acknowledge the obvious, what even industry admits. Note: I didn't say double, you made that up bc you are on such flimsy ground.
BHG is a naturally occurring hormone in cattle, it's called Bovine Somatotropin and it wasnt created by great evil Monsanto unless they traveled back in time and genetically engineered the prebovine cows to produce it naturally and as you cant seem to actually provide this proof of what the dairy industry admits to regarding confinement I guess you're conceding defeat
so tell us, how does this Monsanto® Brand BGH work, hell why not tell us how the actual Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH/rBST) works, you know, the stuff developed by Monsanto and marketed under the name Posilac
Quote:
Veal crates are still the fate of several hundred thousands males dairy calves per year. To the extent which this has decreased, it has been due to public awareness campaigns that led to pressure form bulk purchasers wanting to curtail bad publicity. Yes, 25 million lbs. of mostly preventative antibiotics are used on facotry farms, as last year for the first time the industry had to report this to the FDA.
again, where's the evidence
Quote:
You have facts? Yeah, the just like you had "facts" about chicken manure no longer being allowed to be fed to beef cattle bc you found a site from several years back that said what you wanted it to say, even though the proposed ban was never actually enacted, which if you bothered to do objective research you would've known about.
I've never met a cattleman that fed the crap to his herd, why, because chicken feed contains beef as part of it's protein and calcium sources and because of this the USDA doesnt allow the practice, maybe if you had done a little research you'd know this... remember, bovine spongiform encephalopathy... show u a farmer that admits to feeding chicken shit to his cows... it should be as easy as you claim it is
Quote:
P.S. I decided to waste my time to dig up the obvious on dairy CAFOs (btw, the name should give it away... next thing you are going to tell me is that hog confinemtns let their pigs out to soil & pasture.)
http://cdp.wisc.edu/pdf/glgnfactsheet5_yr1.pdf
http://prairiefarmer.com/story.aspx/printversion/grazing/dairies/profit/142/over/confinements/8287
how do either of these prove anything other than what I've stated and the industry already knew, simply because they suggested that some cows are kept in confinement and the simple math is easy to do, it's as easy as buy feed vs. dont buy feed
Quote:
Btw, a think a published study from Temple Grandin et al from a few years ago surveying dairies/dairy practices across the Midwest & Northeast says as much.
the autistic says what, that grazing is more profitable? well shit, I've already pointed out that fact, your links above mention rotational grazing, something that many have been catching onto the last decade and just because they dont rotate doesnt mean the cattle are kept indoors all the time. you've still not shown where the industry admits that there's thousands of cows locked away in a dark room harnessed to machines for their entire lives
why not just prove these claims of cruelty instead of running on with the emotional drivel that's supposed to tug at my heartstrings

so I'm offering what you're offering since your link to all this shit is stating what I've already stated about grazing being profitable and now we discover it's the universities that are confining the cows for their studies

Until you address the following, anything more is pointless.
so you dont address anything, just post studies that prove what I've been saying about grazing and profitability... where's our testimonial from the farmers that lock their cows in the barn 24/7 and feed them chicken shit

Not one, but two statements saying humans are more humane than the animal kingdom. Why were these statements made if not to justify our inhumanity?

the fact is people take pleasure in torture, there is no benefit from skinning an animal alive, it moves around and is likely to rip the fur you are trying to sell. people do things for pointless reasons.
and this is common place where?
wherever that video I posted was filmed my nig
and to be honest there are dozens of videos on it, but i'm not looking up each and every single one because the one i already posted is disgusting.
it's not simpler to skin an animal when it's moving around and still alive, it could rip the fur, and takes more effort. i honestly don't think those people care much about any of those animals, i guess why would they?

btw no one is refuting that it's SO expensive to feed a cow in a pen than it is to just let them grave for free on a large farm. but it's a fact they put them in these pens and confine them. there is irrefutable evidence, no one can argue with it.

Almost every animal death in the natural world is horribly painful. That we kill any animals humanely is a credit. I do not condone animal torture on that basis but facts are facts. We are a predatory species. Top of the food chain. We are much more respectful than any other species in how we harvest our animal food.
Wow, so if there's an animal species out there more cruel to other animals than humans, then humans shouldn't strive to do better?
That's the same argument conservatives seem to take on torture (there is worse torture than what the Americans dished out, so American torture is ok), about human rights violations, and about so many other issues related to inhumane treatment.
I'll respectfully disagree on this, and say inhumane treatment is bad whether or not there are worst examples. 
i've been laughing at your sig for like an hour 
anyway enough of that.
what you are saying is correct, it's so damn funny, how people are supposed to be the shining example of life on the planet, creating a world of technology etc. etc. etc.
and yet, they compare everything they do with what others do, even in the animal kingdom. i mean fucking cmon....
if a monkey shits all over his hand, and throws it at people, does that mean people who are supposed to be smart enough to engineer a trip to mars and shit are supposed to be like "well, if that monkey did it, why can't we? i mean it happens all the time in the animal kingdom, right?"


some times it's time to grow up isn't it?

-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

if the concept of the factory farm is to reduce costs then why would they go to the trouble of building a dedicated building, containment pens, spend the extra on feed an make a more labor intensive enviroment to raise these cows in that introduces even more costs due to losses from disease and infection... isnt the goal of a business to turn as large a profit as is possible and since this is contrary to that goal why would they do it?
can we see this irrefutable evidence?

Not one, but two statements saying humans are more humane than the animal kingdom. Why were these statements made if not to justify our inhumanity?
I think the problem is one who can't write.

Pay attention. Humans are more humane than other members of the animal kingdom. There are 6 billion humans on the planet. Some of them are assholes. That will always be the case. Just because I realize that does not mean I condone assholic behavior. Nor do I make idiotic extensions that because some humans are assholes all humans are assholes. Because that's pretty fucking stupid.

cmon pris, i don't really want to look up those billions of videos showing that they do is. yes, it's a retarded standard, and should probably lose them a ton of money. but they do it all the time, it's been shown in dozens of internet videos. I posted one video and almost made myself sick, not really in the mood to look for another one.

I slaughter earthlings with my hands for entertainment and then rip their flesh from bone with my teeth for nutrition. Does that make me cruel?
