Veg*n Meet Your Meat video

I was a strict vetetarian for a little over three years (One of my main reasons that I told people was because I wanted to become a large animal vet and I thought it would be very hypocritical to save a cow's life then go home and eat a hamburger) I had also heard many "facts" about slaughter, many of which are based on a few [horrible] cases. I don't particularly enjoy the taste of meat either. One of the main reasons that I could not get through the pre-vet curriculum is that you are required to take a "meat and slaughter" class. But before I left that major I did take an animal science class. It studied the agriculture industry both as a whole and each animal classification. At first it was disgusting, but I learned a lot about the industry not tainted by one view or the other. Many of the things in the meet your meat video are the exception and not the rule. Much of their wording will lead you to believe that nearly all farmers do something (ie beat, neglect, abuse their animals), though it is not. Farmers are not going to let diseases spread ramantly if they can avoid it because a sick animal yields less meat. There are many holes and inconsistancies in the video's logic if you think from a farmer's point of view. If I have time, I will try to go thru point by point on the video and either concur with them or show facts to dispove them. Sorry if this jumped around I'll try to make my next post more organized.
