Thumbs up if you watched while eating meat.

Animal shot dafuq :(.

I would just like to mention that these animals have a much less painful death than the majority of living creatures in this world. Temple Grandin has made AMAZING innovations in animal welfare and she is what I aspire to be.

quite interesting but I guess her autism helps her to deal with the reality of people and their need to eat hamburgers, steak, turkey, etc. It's like people want to be all judgemental when it comes to the demise of the animal yet most people eat animals. It's quite sad this video of death house. I think it would be depressing to be the one who has to put the animal down. Like I would love to hear from that guy. Does he get depressed? Does he have nightmares? or is it like no big deal for him? Just curious.

"Humane" slaughter. Tell me, would it be humane if you were slaughtered "humanly"? This doesn't hold a high standered of animal welfare, this does not protect animals, the only reason why they have a "tendency to turn around" is because they don't want to die. There's undercover footage for a reason, and if you actually let people tour these types of facilities in person, which you wont, you'll loose customers. if slaughter houses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. This is why I went vegan. If this is really the "standard", it makes you sick to know what is the worst. It's the same result in the end, the animal dies and people consume it, some go through worse but that's not better. This is not how animals should be treated, this is not how humans should be treated, this is not how living creatures should be treated. Vegans are not perfect, but we at least try to minimize the suffering and do our best to avoid having another living creature suffer from our diet, fashion and lifestyle choices. I believe that this industry will be a thing of the past, and I believe that these beautiful beings will be set free one day.

The way she has shown meat companies how it is not only the right thing to do but actually more profitable to humanely slaughter animals is brilliant.
-
From all the things that she could use her knowledge in animal behaivor, she chooses this. Weird.
-
it's still is not necessary to raise cattle for food when millions of children are dying from starvation
-
the problem is tho that these cows , no matter how well they were treated , did not want to die. Their lives were painfully ripped away from them. There is no such thing as humane slaughter. How can slaughter ever be considered humane? See Gary Yourofsky's speech on youtube. Hoped that this helped :)
-
I'm not hungry but it's nice to see the professional compassion in management for this meat processing method
-
they even now have a professional degree and education in uncompassion.

The road is clear to the hell

LONG COMMENT WARNING:
I think the point of this is to show a certain perspective. Obviously PETA is going to show the worst image of slaughterhouses and this is going to show the best because it is based on how each respective organization wants to INFLUENCE the viewer. At the end of the day, both are biased and neither is 100% objective, which, in my opinion, does a disservice to everyone. Obviously the morality of killing animals was, is, and always will be highly subjective and I find it kind of useless to try to convince people to change their views on something like that because arguments can be made on either side.
HOWEVER, what this video fails to show (which isn't their fault because it's beyond the scope of this video) is how much waste is produced and how many resources go into raising these cows so they can even get to this point. Depending on your past, you may consider beef to be healthy or unhealthy, but that's neither nor there. The facts of the matter are that all of the feces and urine (not to mention gases) produced by these animals and all the rest of these factory-farmed animals is not at all sustainable. Do you think that these animals are just growing up in 30 seconds by magic? Hell no! They're drinking freshwater and are fed grains, meanwhile millions and millions of people dying from starvation and lack of access to drinking water. Now tell me what sense does it make to invest all of these precious resources to raise an animal to be killed. 🤔. It doesn't. Even if you don't want to give up meat/dairy, I would STRONGLY consider drastically decreasing the amount you consume because you're really only setting up your kids and grandkids for a hard life on a dirty planet with limited resources. Aaaand I'm done. -
I think if I was a cow I would prefer to die this way than to be chased and ripped up by other predators. Something would probably get me out there. Watch National geographic and try to imagine how those animals being chased and ripped up by lions would rather die.

Temple is fantastic. As a person with high functioning autism, she is able to channel her analytical mind towards something like improving the meat industry without being distracted by a ton of extraneous socio-political BS. To her, humane means efficient and efficient means cruelty free. Her mind does an end run around the emotional shit and still comes up with the most humane option. She's the exact opposite of the 100% emotionally driven environmentalists who can't see the forest for the trees.
