Not only they start to suffer when they go into the slaughtering queue. But the way they grow up in a caged jail, sterilized to grow more meat as well. Want...

Yes watch b4. A vegetarian must eat lots of bean type food like Tofu because it contains the necessary protein to subtitute the proteins we get from meat diet.

From time to time we can eat those fake meat.

But honestly these fake meat are bad for health - and in fact some people who become vegetarian die even younger than non vegetarian precisely because they eat 'fake meat' and alike. But if you have the right vegetarian diet it will be beneficial to your health and you can live till old age. There are many vegetarian Buddhist monks in history who lived till a very old age with great health. Some even lived till 120 years old like modern Zen Master Hsu Yun.

If we are long time vegetarians we must avoid to eat this kind of things. Anyway to me they arent really delicious either. The real vegetarian stuff are much better.

Similar clips were shown to my colleagues during lunch time sometime before, and they ended up staying away from meat for a week or 2, before they realised that they coudn't resist the temptation of meat.

I've showed them the clips today over at lunctime Mr. Green . Their reactions were all similar, purely horrific.... . Wonder how long will they keep their hands off those chicken and beef now.. Laughing

dragg SG

i will continue even after watching the clips.

it is not something new.

coolbluewater SG

Though it's not something new, it still serves a good reminder to people, especially meat eaters, that the sentient beings are suffering because of our greed and desires.

dragg SG

unfortunately most people dont see it that way.

humans are born omnivores.

...Samuel Johnson said we more often need to be reminded than instructed....

...Actually, much of the buddha-dharma is like this. It strikes with strong familiarity. Nevertheless, most of us need to be reminded of what we already know.... - Buddhism Plain & Simple

It may appear so now but may not be necessarily the case in the past... originally.. and similarly if you lived in stone age hunting times you may consider yourself a carnivore..

In India a large fraction (arnd 30%) of their population is vegetarians, with another 30% being only 'occasional meat eaters' Smile I think many of them do not think that 'humans are born omnivores'. Therefore many Hindus are also vegetarians, having the doctrine of Ahimsa (nonviolence) derived from Buddhism millenias back. How I wished this kind of culture will spread throughout the world. I believe in the future there will be one day that civilisation reaches such an advancement that our entire humanity will adopt a vegetarian diet.

paperflower SG

agreed.

some people will still argue that eating meat has been going on for many donkey years and some people will back up saying they offer prayers to the poor animals when they get slaughtered. it's not us suffering, its the animals suffering badly for who? for us - our consumption! on the other hand, it is also us suffering..... what goes around comes around.

can this be stopped?
sigh....... at least not much for now.
Crying or Very sad

i have been thinking about becoming a vegetarian. it is not because of the videos i watched.

snobbish SG

I cannot watch the clips, i will be very very affected.Even normal times when i watch tv and something comes up with killing animals i will off straight away. Yes its not possible for the whole world to turn vege, but at least we can play our part although it does not help much. Bless all those killed and going 2 be killed animals Neutral

dragg SG

after reading your first paragraph i thought you are a vegetarian.

Surprised

It definitely will. The number of Vegetarians is growing, especially in Europe and America.

The funny thing is after watching the cruel killing, Some find eating chicken more tastier in KFC. lol. of course they are some who are defer by it.

some farmers who rear chicken or poulty don't respect life. the way they keep these for chicken in cages... some even beat up chicken or turkey when they are angry.. abusive of animals.. there are no proper laws and regulations in protecting these animals. Cos they are destined to be killed? so we shld allow the farmers to act inhumane to them? sad manz....

Male chick are killed when they are born. The hens are kept in overcrowding cages. There are no floor in the the cages so the their claws or feet got hurt. The hens are so stressed by the cramping environment that they peck at the other hens and themselves.

Can u imagine if u are the hen... what will u feel? Despair?

To prevent pecking, some practise chipping off their beaks. So the young chick's beaks are chipped off without any pain killers. The beaks are very senstive organ to the chick.

And the hens are given chemical in the feedings so that they can grow fat faster and laid egg faster. they grow so fat that their poor legs can be broken.

The chemical injected ( i think hormone ) can affect human being.. i forgot what it is.. make male more femaleish or female more maleish??

when there are people who still eat meat.. there shld have proper regulations on how they handle these animals..

laurence82 SG

And outbreaks of H5N1, Nipah virus etc from animals are due to the fact farmers dont rear them in a hygienic and humane environment

Slaughtering? Improper slaugtering methods leads to outbreak of virus such as E.Coli in beef. Thats what a friend who read Fast Food Nation told me. And the book refers to Macdonald

There will be a movie on this coming up, also by the same title, Fast Food Nation.

An Eternal Now SG

No meat is safe from disease and outbreaks of viruses from animals will be increasingly frequent. Maybe the only kind of meat that is safer is fish but even that will not be entirely safe considering the rate we pollute the earth and oceans.
