Are you one of those veggies......?

...that compare slaughterhouses to the Holocaust? If you are don't you think it's time you got a proper perspective?

 

i do not make that comparison....but are you one of those people.......who goes into a forum just to cause grief? please dont....much love.....peace.

 

what.....gives...you....that...idea...?

 

are you just trying to argue here or what?

on the grounds that animals are our equals (we are animals, remember that) the comparison is absolutly correct. my perspective will not and does not need to change.

 

Um, wow. Go tell a Jewish person that.



mark.

 

I would have no problem telling a jewish person that. if they get offended oh well. im offended by the meat industry.

 

I'm Jewish, and I believe factory farming is an animal holocaust. Just so you know, some of my relatives died in the camps. Obviously I never met them, but I can try to imagine how horrible and evil that situation was. Maybe that's why I can relate to what is happening with the animals right now, and see it as wrong.

 

Badass moderator lady!

 

i would never make such a bogus comparison


its insensitive to say the very least and compeletly trivialises the holocaust.

 

that's the thing. it DOESN'T trivialize it. it says that wrong is wrong no matter whom we treat that way. Almost no one will deny that the holocause was awful. Most will say that eating animals is okay. That was the whole point Peta wasn't trying to trivialize anyone, but the way people think, it wasn't accepted like intended. It was to raise awareness, not diminish what happened to the Jewish people. I don't agree with the campaign necessarily because I think peta should have known the response, and realized that people have such a problem facing what's on their plates that they would rather turn it around into something it wasn't.

 

This is not to be disrespectful to you or your post or your beliefs, but isn't Kosher slaughter cutting the animals throat w/o stunning or anesthetics? I am honestly asking, not being sarcstic. Pretty barbaric. (Not saying slaughterhouses today are not. They are awful. I just do not see how certain things make it ok to take a life w/o needing to. And having your throat slit is not a kind way to die.

 

Absolutely no good way to die, hence why we're veg.

 

Pamela, I disagree. For one who dies willingly, at peace with the world, without sorrow or regret, dies in a most beautiful way.

 

Unfortunately, I doubt slaughterhouse-bound animals are at peace with such a world. =\

 

never said they were.

 

For clarification:
I meant in a slaughterhouse, Bhaskar, for animals. There is no good way to die when you are being murdered for someone's plate.

 

Never thought you said they were.
