I'm a heartless bastard I guess, but I honestly can't quite muster much sympathy for something I'm going to eat. I guess its terrible that people are torturing the animals but even if they killed them more humanely would that stop people from going "OH NO THEY KILLED A DOG".
I mean, for example, chickens. Do these animals get any real sort of life? We pretty much mass produce them to eat and keep them in a cage forever even if we kill them later. And then I'm sure the cavemen didn't all go hey we're hunting lets make sure the bison doesn't feel pain.
Meh.
You better watch yoself. PETA got guns.
Also, our state passed this stupid-ass law that requires transportation cages for chickens and other farm animals (who are going to the slaughterhouse most likely) must be a certain size. *sigh* my school district is laying off 20+ custodians and yet we're funding bullshit like this.
Also, my mom's Filipino. She's eaten monkey brain. They basically put the little shits in a guillotine-like thing, lop the top half of the scalp off, and eat it raw. That's why whenever she's cooking dinner I'm kinda afraid of what's really in the lumpia.
EDIT:
Brain, by the way, is gross, don't ever try it. It's WAY too squishy, and feels very wrong to eat. Tendon's terrible too, for obvious reasons. I think for a bet I ate the contents of a can of raw squid once, but I don't really remember because the memory's repressed now.
EDIT:
Also, BALUT.

I hate my race.
