Intro: So i got this PETA dvd at warp tour. i had no idea what was in it, just knew some bands were. i watched it...now i have less respect for people who wear fur, go to circuses, and eat meat guiltlessly thinking animals are just put on earth for us to eat. if it was meant for only people to be on earth and run the show then thats all that should have been here in the first place. im just soo mad and sad and hate the world and people so i need to vent. so here's my vent. please read and tell me what you think or if this have shifted your views. (:

Abuse: Do you actually know what's going on in those slaughter houses? Would you be able to eat meat if everytime before a meal, you had to see the animal you were going to eat, fed hormones, grow fat, cant walk, shipped in bad conditions, probably with cancer and pus cuz those animals are still FDA approved, and then cut to the neck and boiled still concious? When they get thrown to the ground aiming to their head? when there hit by poles and electric rods? When there screaming out of pain wondering why life is so bad? When baby pigs have to get their ears, tails, and sharp teeth cut off without pain killers? When cows get their horns cut off? Yeah you probably think this is bad stuff and wonder why i would go on about this, but if you're so discomforted by this, why are you still promoting it? Do you know that eating animals and using them for clothes does more damage to the environment than C02?
-having 1lb of meat ready for your stupid meals generates is like driving 40 miles in a SUV
-The process of making leather, well, toxins get into the water that kids from 3rd world countries get poisoned from cuz they bathe and drink that water.

Why are we still testing on animals if we already have enough working products out there for us? When we already know how to clone human skin? Do rabbits or cats or monkeys even wear masacara? NO!. Are rabbits, monkey, or cats humans? NO! so the results wouldnt be the same to humans.
And wearing fur? stealing is wrong rite? So why are you stealing from an animal? that furs not yours, so don't take it!
Do you know, they skin those animals alive and keep them living after their skinned? imagine living your life without your skin!

Life: basically the life of animals in slaughter houses goes like this. they are kept in small cramped areas so they cant even move, they can even turn around. when they have babies, the babies are taken away. so basically the moms cant even see their babies. they are overfed with hormones so they can't walk because of the excessive weight. most animals lose the ability to work cuz of hormones, over feeding, or they havent had room to move around. they get beaten, stomped on, sprayed in the eyes, limbs cut off, stood on and more. then they get THROW into crates and shipped. most die in the crowded, overheated, no water ride. Animals with diseases or severly injuried are kept alive to gain profits. Think about this, the animal you're eating could have lived diseased cuz FDA says you can still sell those. then the animals die. animals used to produce milk/eggs are in those tortured conditions but when they arent of use, they get slauntered.
AND elephants for the circus get hit by electric rods in the legs. when they fall, they are hit under the chin till they get up. and then sometimes they go crazy during shows and get shot but its not there fault. its common reaction to hurt your abuser, humans do it. also, they live half the life span cuz they have uncured diseases, underfed, and beaten.

I dont see how american can stand one second to be proud of how far we've come when we still have people suffering. seriously, im sooo mad at the world right now. America prides itself on its new technology always advancing so why arent we using it?
-Vegeterian foods, soy stuff, veggie meats, other protein enriched stuff.
but we still have slaughter houses
-fake fur
but we still skin animals and steal from them.
-cloning usage and already thousands of products to chose from
animal testing is still used

I dont get how we can hurt something like animals. they havent done anything to us. why do they deserve this? why are we doing this to animals when people who murder or rape are getting plea bargains or deals or just living in a cell. AND THOSE PEOLPLE DESERVED IT! what has animals done? they havent raped anyone or murdered out of revenge.
all dogs have done is been you're best friend, slept with you, stayed up at night to protect you, played with you when you were lonely.
-China is the country that produces the most fur, and they dont care where it comes from, so your fur coat could actually be dog fur.
all animals have done is just live there life. they feel pain, hunger, thrist, and want to live like all of us.

-Animals go through depressions. Dogs get the worst depression because they remember everything that has happened in their life.
-Turkeys play together if you give them a ball
-cows take turn babysitting for each others babies
-a pig is smarter than a 3yr old.
-are these simple facts of animals bothering you? when you know that when you promote animal slaghter houses that you're either taking away a family's mom or baby? or a friend or a babysitter.

im not saying go vegeterian or vegan, but next time you eat meat, or use an animal cruelty product, or wear fur, think of the animals expense. America has become one of the most selfish countries out there.

Go to peta2.com for a FREE vegeterian starter kit, list of animal cruelty products, and the animal awareness DVD ft warp tour bands. its all free. learn about it and see why and how many of your favorite bands have become vegeterian/vegan and dont support slaughter houses and fur.

Thanks for reading this, and i hope maybe this made you open your eyes. i feel like this is one of the biggest problems going on so thats why wanted to vent about it. maybe change some of your guys opionons .
THANKS! (:
