Hunting vs.Torture

In a commercial cattle ranch cows are typically weaned at 6 to 10 months, live 3 to 5 months on range, spend 4 to 5 months being fattened in a feed-lot, and are typically slaughtered at 15 to 20 months.

The slaughter process is one that will make your stomach turn and bring tears to your eyes. Most cows are not killed immediately even though the outdated process ensures they are. After living a life of cramped spaces, disease, and mistreatment by those who really should not have anything to do with this process (Mentally challenged aggressive people who abuse the animals), they are given a small bolt in the skull which does not kill most of the animals but just stuns them, they are strung up by their back legs, hung upside down, and their throut is slit to allow for the bleeding process. Unfortunately, the animal is usually still alive and very aware of what is going on. This is the time that they drown in their own blood while hanging upside down. Those waiting in line witness this happening and become very afraid and panic.

Gee, that sounds so much better than living outdoors in the wild your entire life eating natural food, playing with friends, and breathing fresh air until a respectful hunter comes along and ends the life more naturally. Death is usually instant or very quick when using a high powered riffle or bow.

Just because you do not witness the act does not make it better. Happy meat comes from happy animals, not tortured animals.

I look forward to your comments.
