Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17896 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | baldt said: I have a terrifying mental image of you naked with little Pete wrapped up like a pig in a blanket And now so do I. That is a terrible waste of bacon and an erection. In my terrifying image the bacon is still raw. I hope it is in yours. Anyhoo, bacon just gets eaten, the benefits come later. What you do with your erections is no-ones business but your own | ||

It will always intrinsically have flaws. That's why whilst I eat meat and will work one day just like you to try and help contribute towards the most welfare-friendly system possible in this country, I can never argue against people of the opinion that some problems still (and always will exist) I work in an abortior, I'm on the boning line at the moment. However I've done everything from buying from farmers, slaughtering, and boning. I've also worked in small privately owned abotoirs to wholesale ones. So what do you think are flaws in the trade? | ||

The main problems IMO arise at the farm end. If you're gonna have a welfare problem it's more than likely at the farm/transport end* Interestingly I'd probably say the part with least flaws is probably the slaughter end, nowadays everything is very standardised and there's very little room for f**k ups. * SO what i mean is, Animals being transported when they shouldnt Transport being inadequate for the number of animals/purpose Unnecessary stress/poor execution of loading As for farm factors take your pick, depends on the animal and the system but none are without flaws. | ||

I've worked in the meat industry in numerous job from start to finish of its production for over 20 years, and imo animal welfare is a high priority in the production of meat. I'm also not looking for an argument with you. Just would like to know if you're opinion is based on any sort of fact, or is it just you're opinion. EDIT i personaly don't care if its good for you of not. Bacon tases far too good to worry about that. Fair enough mate and my original comment wasnt intended to run down your chosen profession. I realise that the meat industry does have animal welfare high but to be it always seems the thin end of the wedge, at the end of the day something is being killed, which i dont consider to be moral, personally. | ||

I agree with you on the farmers, however the majority of them are getting better, being as prices are that high they value them and there welfare more. As for transport it's come on leaps and bounds and you hardly see any crowding like went on years ago. | ||

That's fine I didn't take anything from you're original comment. I was just interested in you're true reasons for it. I also understand you're moral stance on the issue, however the way I look at it is if we all didn't eat meat the majority of farm animals would still be killed and even some breeds wiped out, but they'd just be killed or no reason but to make space for growing crops and other foods for us. In a way by eating them were giving them some life before that which they'd not have if we all were vegans. | ||
