    Well the dog farmers hang, burn, and beat the shit out of the dogs before they kill them because they believe the fear and adrenaline improves the taste and makes them more tender…so yes I’d say it’s worse.

      Pigs, cows, and chickens also experience incredible suffering in factory farms. The whole industry is rotted.

        It’s a weird dynamic. I feel no remorse eating pork or beef. I know the process, I raised farm animals as a kid. BUT, I know someone working on genetically modified pigs for human organ transplants and that makes me somehow uneasy.

      Frankly that sounds like the sort of bullshit I’d hear from Greenpeace.

      Even if that were true, have you seen say a chicken farm? Workers will cruelly abuse the ever living shit out of these animals for no reason.

      I wouldn’t say it’s worse than…

      The chickens at the farm were filmed being kicked, thrown to the ground and having their necks broken for fun.

      “I hate it when their heads come off,” one female worker says in a clip.

      “Yeah, it feels good, look,” a male worker replies.

      “Oh, you’re cruel,” the woman say as a chicken writhes on the ground. The other workers can be heard laughing as they all watch the hen

        I was stationed in South Korea and saw them with my own eyeballs but you can believe whatever you like.

          Completely ignored this part, as expected.

            I grew up in farmland. I’ve seen numerous animals killed. We didn’t beat our goats before we killed them. Same with our chickens.
