Would you still eat meat if you had to see the torture and cruelty these animals go through?

Take a close look at the photo here. These pigs are locked into this position with a device around their heads, so they are not able to move. They cannot stand, turn, scratch, shake, clean themselves. They defecate, and urinate laying down. All they can do is eat! Imagine if this were Humans? The video that I down loaded this morning from a Huffington Post link shows the hideous, cruel, torturous treatment that this Nations living food supply goes through each and every day. Before I describe in graphic detail of what was on the video and what I have known for decades, I want to find out where we, as conscience thinking Humans have  lost our disconnect with animals as living things and instead have turned them into unfeeling, unemotional, products for consumption only. The modern mass production of animals for slaughter and sale is so repugnant as to defy anyone from claiming ever again that the Human species is at any top, of any pecking order of sanity.

Seeing these animals of all types being tormented by their deranged captors is so degrading and repulsive it is hard to define even when seen with the naked eye. How can people be so heartless, thoughtless, unfeeling, detached?

 One of the main justifications for unimaginable cruel Human behavior regarding animal treatment  is religion. Greed comes in a mighty close second place.

Once religion came along and proclaimed that the Human species was "not" part of the animal Kingdom, and that it was above all other species of animal on Planet Earth, this from the power given by the almighty "God", than two things occurred immediately. The first thing that happened was the teaching  that the Earth is here only for Human purpose, that we are the caretakers of the Planet whether we take care of it or destroy it, and second that animals are here as well only for mankind's purposes to be used and abused at will with no remorse of thought.

The cold hearted, mindless mass production of animals for slaughter defies one's common sense when seen visually, because it is so barbaric and sickening that it is not a wonder anymore why the Human race has gone to Hell.

The Human species  throughout History has always shown a brutality that defines us as the most caring yet uncaring animal that has ever walked on the face of the Earth. We are by our own Natures simply self serving at any and all costs. More destructive through intent than any other living creature, not from a standpoint of survival only but so far above the needs of survival to a state of human mind insanity.

Our ancestors, although brutal as they were, had treated animals at least humanely even though they too were used for food consumption. Had they been able to mass produce the same desired results of today's animal factories they too would most likely do the same exact things because Human behavior has no ethical boundaries, and very few physical boundaries then and now. Whatever we Humans can think, we Humans will do!

Since people have brutalised other people at will throughout Human History than it seems reasonable that animals got an even worse taste of our instinct for amusement, and they did then and they do now.

But if you look at the Native and Aboriginal tribes of the Globe then and now  you get  better picture of the connection between  Humans and animals and how they were treated and appreciated, as part of the animal Kingdom because it was understood that they provided Humankind with sustenance, nourishment to stay alive and therefore had a very high value in terms of how we as their caretakers should never abuse them, and should hold them in very high esteem by caring for them the best that we can. The big difference is that in these Native cultures Humankind is part of the Animal Kingdom and not separated from it as in religion.

It turns out that the three main religions, of the Western World, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam  are the catalyst for many, if not all of Humanity's many imbalances on the Planet. The belief of a fictional God, the belief of the Sun revolving around the Earth and the Earth being the center of the Universe. That the Earth is 7, 8, 9, no 12,000 years old! The fictional belief of Heaven or Hell, of angels, of miracles, of Santa Claus of the Easter Bunny, of intolerance of thought, the degradation of all females of every age. That the Church is the most important Cult Corporation and what it says is true without proof needed and even more so when it has been proven completely wrong!

If you think that religion has brought Humanity anything that did not exist before we, meaning men, not women, made religion up,  than you would be completely wrong. There was good and bad long before religion was invented.

The 10 Commandments were known and taught 1,000's of years before the fictional story of Moses!

But back to the topic at hand which is the treatment of animals in the modern day food factories. Would you eat bacon for breakfast today if you had to watch the slaughter of pigs? Watch the cruelty of people who work in these factories, having no remorse or compassion or feeling for the animals that to torture this animals is fun for them? How about slitting a pigs throat, and as it lays on the ground screaming in pain you drop a tool box, or heavy object on it's head to crush or bash  it's skull, only you have to do this 3 or 4 times before it is effective, all the while laughing at what you are doing?

Would you eat eggs this morning if you saw how they put 20 chickens in a cage, that was meant  to hold one of them, until the chickens have fought until they  have pecked each other's eyes out? How they throw live baby chicks into a metal blender, that grinds them up, live, crushes them alive, if they have any blemish that the company thinks it cannot sell to the customer?

No other animal on the face of the Planet has the capability to be so compassionate, caring, loving yet can be so cruel and barbaric with intent, other than the Human species, and yet always  all justified by self serving religion.

  I am glad to be a Vegetarian. It is much healthier to begin with, and modern medicine just proves this out.
Educate yourself, for you will not be taught this in religious schools, private or in public schools. The knowledge is there for you to seek out. It is your responsibility to know the truth.

The use of Prisoner Torture . under ex- President G.W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney

What is the difference of the "Good Guys" and the "Bad Guys" in life?

One group of people, the Good Guys  use "Human" ethics and morality to make choices of every kind, and the second group of people, the Bad Guys use whatever means is necessary to accomplish their task.

Ethics or no ethics. Morality or no morality.

The end justifies the means to this second group.

Normally we call this second group Criminals.

I am not talking religious ethics and morality because then we get into torturing women for clothing choices, witch burning, stoning women to death for any reasons, degradation of females for the benefit of males justified by the use of a fictional God, and for that subject I will tear religion a new asshole in another piece!

In America we stand behind the notion that fairness, compassion, tolerance, sympathy, empathy, kindness, discipline, strength, courage, sportsmanship, leadership are the ultimate qualities of a Human being. That these qualities we would want our children to learn and practice throughout their lives as well, because this shows that we have evolved above and beyond simple animal nature.

What does it say then that the President, and Vice President of the previous administration, G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney believed that in order to accomplish their goal of protecting the citizens of the USA that they would condone the use of torture? That even though the USA and other countries around the World had signed a Geneva convention agreement  60 + years ago not to use torture for any reason, that these two men G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney thought that they would throw away this bilateral agreement and instead make their own unilateral agreement that only they would vote for, and not the rest of the citizens of America, standing 300 Million strong?

These same two men that never went to war. These same two cowardly men that did not have or want anything to do with "protecting" American interests during the Vietnam war. These same two men that created fictional reasons to invade Iraq where 100,000's of Iraqi citizens have died, and over 5,000 US servicemen and  women gave their lives for absolutely no reason other than being used as pawns to protect the interests of Corporate Oil companies, Halliburton, and the Military Industrial Complex of America.

That these same two men decided that torture is the only way to get information from prisoners whom the USA was and is responsible for to this very minute and whereas  the CIA interrogators and the CIA itself has repeatedly stated that it is much better to use alternative methods for recovering information without torture. That these two men, G.W.Bush and Dick Cheney each being married, and having children, Mothers and Fathers, felt that the only way to get information was to torture other human beings, and in many cases condone killing these prisoners in our care would also be the same men that say that they receive their marching orders from God?
It is way past time to prosecute these two war criminals G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney to the fullest extent of the law so that the US of A can set an example to ourselves and to the World that when people in the service of their country, in leadership positions in the highest offices of American politics, commit heinous crimes of morality, they will be held accountable, and punished.
