I think anyone out there who's passionate about animal rights and participates in any animal rights advocacy groups should watch this video and pass it on to anyone who can fix this:

Warning, it's a bit graphic. Hopefully it will make you think:

Can we just all agree that I'm the most gullible person on the face of the planet? Yeah, I've been told that before. This only proves it further. I know that education teaches you to question things, and I should. I shouldn't just believe it simply because Glove posted it(someone who I respect therefore believe what he says). I should start mistrusting and second guessing everyone regardless of who they are. Yes, yes, I know, I should have been doing that all along. *sigh* You taught me a lesson that I should have learned a long time ago Glove. Thanks.

*walks out looking suspiciously at everyone*

Well that's interesting.

That is pretty interesting. And it justifies my dislike of PETA even more.

Not sure finn, but I do know that a day or so after this vid was altered PETA had put it up on one of thier blogs along with all sorts of colorful language. I wouldn't be surprised if I shortly see this in one of thier propaganda films, ha.

Heh...

I knew that...well, not really.

*puts down Glove on her black list*

:P

Hmm, I wondered about that. Seems you really can't trust everything on the Web.

I'm assuming you meant to teach us this lesson?

Interesting.

To calm all your fears, the video was indeed a fake. The cow was dead and had been put down due to disease. Someone I know from another forum recently added the mooing as a joke to see if it would get a rise out of some people. Apparently it did. Goes to show you that you should think twice about what you see, ha.

They were grinding up the cow carcasses to be burnt in industrial incinerators.

I tried to go to the link, but its been moved

Apparently it was alive.

I don't want to watch it ever again though, I had enough with one. I think I was traumatized enough already.

Whether they added the sound or no, they still threw it in alive, right?

You know, I don't know about that.

I did have someone tell me that either they added the sound to a dead cow or it was not done in the U.S. I guess everyone is free to make their own conclusions from this.

I do know that practicing this is prohibited in the U.S. Well, so they say.

That is very disturbing.

Is this a normal practice?

It was a cow that was thrown in to a huge meat shredder alive. And it was making noises in pain. I thought to myself at first "Oh No!" And then "They turned it on! No!" After that I thought "It will surely die quickly...it has to..." I kept thinking "It will die now...well, now...well...now...please...please...Gah!"

What was it?

Gah!

I think my heart rate went up after watching that. I'm not suited for this type of thing.

Well darn, YouTube took it down.

Damnit. I enjoyed that video. I mean...umm...yeah, no.

Well...what they did in the video...that's kinda fucked up.

Ooh, damn. I should have just been late to work and watched it... What did it show? ( I am almost afraid to ask, though I think I get a good picture from what clpo said.. )

Well darn, YouTube took it down. But it had the effect I wanted, haha.

Clpo, you're right, I'm not really an animal rights activist. Just wanting to see some reactions to this video.
