I love your perspective and wish it wasn't controversial. It's a real problem how everyone has become my team vs your team.

Wow, I could not believe the people in your video. I think the answer is just that some people are psychopaths, and some of those psychopaths work in agriculture.

I have a tiny farm. We slaughtered a cow earlier today, but it's was nothing like that. Our animals are gentle creatures and we know them as individuals. Yes, they need to die before they go to the butcher, but we treat them as well as we can.

The whole reason that I got into this is because I didn't want to eat food from factory farms, meat or vegetables. You don't need to go as far as I do, because there are plenty of people that treat their animals well and sell their products privately or through farmers' markets.

How do you feel about small farms and family farms?

And maybe they are seeing the animals when they are stressed, and they are seeing them at their worst. Cows and sheep are such nice and gentle creatures. They come to the fence to see me. It's hard not to like them, and I can't imagine punching them or deliberately hurting them. But if you saw them stressed out everyday, maybe your opinion would be different.

I kind of forgot why we started doing this. Thanks for getting the word out. People who don't know them think of livestock as grass-eating-robots in a way, but they are individuals with personalities. They deserve to live a decent life before they become meat.
