* I was trying to make this disturbing/grotesque for a reason. The things listed above are things that happen to thousands maybe millions of animals constantly just so we can have some ******* meat. Its terrible and it IS disgusting. Many of these animals such as pigs and cows show just as much intelligence as the pets we have in our homes such as cats and dogs. Yet, we would find it despicable if someone ripped off their dogs tail, and hear the dog cry in pain. Or if someone took their cat by the tail, and slammed it against the ground to **** it. Or take a **** load of puppies and kittens, throw em on a conveyor  belt, and feed em to a ******* grinder. Its heart wrenching, and there's no humanity in it.
