If slaughterhouses had glass walls those who eat meat will still eat meat.

A few minutes ago I watched a short documentary called "If Slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian." starring the one and only, Sir Paul McCartney. Now most people would say that since watching this their going to become vegetarian. Now me I question this. I wonder, how many slaughterhouses are featured in the clips they show. They never say how many slaughterhouses their are in the world and how many of these use these horrific techniques and how many choose to be more humane. Although I'm sure there are many that choose these inhumane actions, I'm also sure that that there are just as many or more then are humane about their actions. Another thing I question is if slaughterhouses are this inhumane and everyone clearly knows it why doesn't the UN or some leaders of the countries where these slaughterhouses can be found put a stop to it all by making it illegal to treat animals this way.

I'm sure stopping eating meat can stop the slaughter of these poor animals but unless a huge market becomes vegetarian all at once it's not going to make much of a difference  because the animals are still going to be slaughtered and put on the shelves for non-vegetarians to eat.

I'm not trying to say that people shouldn't become vegetarian because it's a lost cause I'm saying that  the government needs to do something to help the animals right now. Waiting for the world to become vegetarian will take years but the government can do something now. They can make it illegal to treat animals in such a way and crack down harder on these slaughterhouses. Having annual inspections every 3 months or so and if they find something wrong they shut down the slaughterhouse and get the animals the help they need to recover.

I'm a meat eater. I like my meat. I was once told my a doctor that I had to eat a lot of red meat because I have anemia which means I have low iron in my blood. I become very tired and fatigue. Yes I had to take iron pills but eating red meat also helped with my condition. I didn't have an extreme case but there are very extreme cases out there. So eating meat can be a good thing because face it no one wants to be dependent on medications most of their life. Becoming vegetarian means your not getting your proper nutrients you would normally get from meat so you have to start taking medications. These medications can start to get expensive.

If you watched the video you would have notice that when Sir Paul McCartney spoke about vegetarians being more healthy he show Kiera Knightly and Tobey Maguire.  #1) They are celebrities and have a lot of money to spend on treatments and special medications that insurance may not pay for. #2) I haven't seen much of Tobey Maguire lately (probably cause I'm not a spiderman fan) but in the past year or two Kiera Knightly was on tabloid covers looking anorexic. If thats healthy then god help us.

I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't become vegetarian. I have nothing against people who are vegetarian. It's their choice or it's your doctors orders. But I'm saying if you do become vegetarian you have to be careful. Also, stop putting people who choose to eat meat down. It's our decision or our doctors orders. If you should be angry at anyone or be calling out to anyone its the government. They are the ones who are just sitting by and allowing this to happen without putting a stop to the inhuman slaughterhouses.

I'm sorry PETA I'm sure you think your doing a lot to help the animals and I'm sure you are to an extent but why not try a different approach. Like finding more humane ways the slaughterhouses could use. Yes they may still be killing the animals but at least their doing it in a way that will keep the animal in mind and not just their own stomachs.

Stay in School

Currently Listening to: Nothing

Current Mood: Annoyed

You're probably wondering why I'm annoyed. Well that would be because I have to go to work tonight. Although its only for four hours it's still pretty annoying. Those four hours are keeping me from going to Grand Bank today.  You know what I would rather be doing from 5:30 to 9:30 relaxing, or hanging with friends. Basically anything that doesn't involve me serving people or pouring coffee. So here's a message for all you kids in the grades 10 and up who have a choice to stay in school or not. Stay in school. Working at a minimum wage job for the rest of your life is not a fun thing. Use condoms or some sort of birth control... or better yet, don't have sex. Because if you get pregnant you aspirations or going to university are practically gone down the drain. You won't have time to go to school you will have to work all the time to pay pills and support you and your child and when you aren't working your going to have to take care of  that child. So explain to me where school is available to be put in the picture? So be safe and get a high school education and then a university diploma and a good job and be ready to support a family. Just remember Tim Horton uniforms are not flattering... at all!
