I don't know about hypocritical, maybe criticismical(wd?) people. My sister is a vegetarian but also a psychologist, so that's just a personal experience but she does criticize a lot.
That's funny, I too am a vegetarian psychologist! You should give me her number hah.
Most people don't know how the cow gets from the field to your table. The new method is lining up cows on a conveyor belt and sending them through what is basically a large electric chair that delivers an ubelievably painful and fatal electrocution. Now as the cows on the conveyor belt watch the front cow get fatally electrocuted, they (for lack of better description) freak the fuck out, naturally like any of you would do in the same situation. How do I know that the cows are aware of what's going on? PSYCHOLOGISTS, like myself, used bio-feedback to measure fear in this exact situation. The studies showed that indeed, the cows freaked the fuck out, and knew exactly what they were in store for.
It's changing all the time. These corporations find the cheapest way to slaughter, and use it, never considering a humane alternative.
I never preach anymore, just explain my reasons for being a vegetarian if people ask. The argument always goes in a circle back to "well goddamnit, meat tastes good so that's why I should eat it!" or the infuriating "God put animals on this earth to eat". Never have I heard an intelligent argument. So I'm excited to see what turns up on this thread. I like to play the philosophy game-- what if creatures came to this earth that were far superior than us (like humans to animals) and decided to farm US for meat. Would you submit to these creatures based on the same arguments YOU use to justify raising animals to eat??
Again, I don't preach this stuff, so i won't post a video. But I encourage anyone to find videos on the internet of what slaughterhouses really are like (there are plenty videos, and they clearly are not propaganda, simply educational).
