I feel like I'm going to be a vegetarian soon.
I keep seeing documentaries about how animals are being treated. Why is it fair that as humans, the "superior race", we have the right to do that?
The whole "supply and demand" crap doesn't sell me. Look around at our world. People are so overweight now, eating themselves to death. How is that keeping up with the demand? The demand for people to gorge themselves... I don't get it.
I watch Masterchef and all the other cooking shows. All I can think about now is all that food that is being wasted. How many chicken had to die for a show.... how many cows had to be forced to get pregnant to produce more milk for that ice cream eating contest... is that really necessary? We're not eating what we need to survive, we're stuffing ourselves.
I don't understand when people turn away from it because they love food too much. Why is it okay to torture other living beings for your guilty pleasures?
I just watched a video about pigs. They take piglets and immediately rip off their testicles with their gloved hands. The pigs are artificially inseminated, forced to lay down being held down by bars, while their piglets are eating off them through the bars. After so many days, the moms are then slaughtered because they're not needed anymore.
Cows can only have their calves for 3 days. They're artificially inseminated to stay pregnant so they can produce enough milk for us humans to drink.
HUMANS TO DRINK COW'S MILK.
Does that make any sense?
We're the only species on the entire planet who drinks another animal's milk after infancy. Why is that? Some genius years ago decided cow's milk has tons of calcium and protein...so we should drink it. Cows produce milk for baby cows, just like humans produce milk for baby humans. We're not designed to drink milk past infancy....why don't we all just walk around with bottles then?
So again, we FORCE animals to reproduce so that we may consume the milk that is intended for their baby that we ripped away from them. We might as well pull a baby cow away and start suckling on the cow's udders.
I need to stop watching these videos.
