"Real Agriculture" getting all huffy about the Manitoba Pork expose. Rows of caged sows in the thousands being advocated for by U of M agriculture fan. PR for the Neutraceuticals Front on campus. Keep it coming boys and girls: all grist for the mill.
What a putz. The author of this silliness writes: "I well and truly believe that the average consumer has forgotten or is blissfully unaware that animals must first die before becoming meat." Uh, I believe the dead animal industrial complex has spent untold amounts of money trying to hide the fact that they kill for their profits. Now this yahoo is complaining about the effectiveness of their campaign. I love it. Speaking truth to power makes power act really and clearly...goofy.
ReplyDeletePutz is right. Defending the horrific conditions of the animals' lives before they're killed is what she's doing. The exposé wasn't of slaughter, either. It's not possible to debate things like this because of the sidestepping and stupidity.
ReplyDeleteTrying to dialogue with a "brain-dead megaphone" (George Saunder's wonderful phrase) is sure to elicit frustration and dismay. Better to save your breath for something more useful. :-)
ReplyDeleteIn the image of a little piglet the caption is "Piglets are shipped off for 'fattening,' and often have their tails and testicles cut off without anesthesia." Umm... Apparently they neglected to mention the half dozen nicks in the little fellow's sweet ears - Those missing chunks surly didn't happen by way of any "pain relief".
ReplyDeletePoint is - Every single thing about their operations - From the bodily mutilations to the throat-slitting once they're "finished" is brutal and totally UNACCEPTABLE! I'm just totally sick of their lies and fake "concern" for their "stock"! :(
With thousands of pigs there is no such thing as "farming" or "concern".
ReplyDeleteI hear you Bea!
