If you wouldn't brand a cat or cut off a dog's legs, you should also think about putting down the hamburger for World Week for Abolition of Meat.
Cows have personalities as distinct as those of cats, dogs, and humans. They develop social circles, form friendships, and even hold grudges. They grieve the loss of loved ones and shed tears, especially mother cows whose calves are taken away within hours or days of birth.
Like all living beings, cows value their lives and don't want to die. Cows have been known to go to extraordinary measures to escape slaughter, including jumping off of a ship and swimming to shore and leaping a 5-foot-tall gate. At the slaughterhouse, they hear their friends bellow as they are jabbed with electric prods and hear them cry out as their throats are cut. A slaughterhouse worker told The Washington Post that cows are often still conscious when their legs are cut off. "They blink. They make noises. The head moves, the eyes are wide and looking around. … They die piece by piece."
Please take a moment to think about what your money pays for when you purchase animal flesh.

When PETA do such videos and people protest that they would rather save and animal than a human being and some other dumb person says "well why not save human beings? They are your race after all"...well this is why! Human beings are so full of themselves that they think they can torture an animal this way - I can't even try to understand how a person would kick blood in the animals' face when it is dying...DISGUSTING!
Ow well those people will go through the same thing one day or the other coz karma WILL bite them back.
This video is horrendous... so evil... This is what people are paying for when they buy meat... This is why I've had to turn my back on my own family members that still eat meat and think nothing of where it comes from...
The people that own these places are sick, the people who work there are sick as well. The Governments are sick too! How can anyone with a conscounce condone this terrible act of inhumanity to defenceless animals. God did not expect people to act like barbarians. These people have NO SOUL.
