Awesome film, awesome music

It's worth noting that this version of the song is by Stephen Malkmus (from Pavement) & The Million Dollar Bashers (featuring Sonic Youth members Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, Television guitarist Tom Verlaine, Dylan bassist Tony Garnier, guitarist Smokey Hormel and keyboardist John Medeski)

If you want to see more of this carnivore pornography the whole film I believe is called "This Is Hormel" and on archive.org

(Yes, I've watched the whole thing... several times)

Except for Hormel, the JOOOOZ run it all!

So WTF is this about 'if you eat pork products you support this.' Way to lose any sympathy you gained with greater population. Out the company responsible; out the government for lack of regulation, and ensure that anyone who does this is fined out of existence. But we're a meat eating species, get over it. Let's prevent cruelty and suffering as much as possible, but at the end of the day it's death and nom nom nom bacon.

But the problem is that this is hardly some sort of isolated case. Mistreatment of animals in animal industries is widespread and common. It isn't just about the steak on your plate or your glass of milk, it's about the leather shoes people wear, their fur coats, their wool caps and the circuses they attend. This happens every day, and an industry where the animals are treated well is exception, not rule.

Honestly, the amount of videos like these that I've seen suggest that this type of abuse is nothing more than a mere coping mechanism for the workers of an industry that sees more death than the average soldier on the frontline. As long as we kill and incarcerate animals for food, clothes or any other purpose, this will go on.

I agree completely this is horrible... and incredibly disturbing...

Anyone think while watching that (I admit i couldn't finish) how these 'men' go home and treat their wives?... Long way from being a psychologist but there seems to be a LOT Of underlying issues with these guys...

Anyway back to task... I for one will absolutly pass this along to everyone i can... and do my very little part to ensure Hormel does something about it... in the end the pocket book is the ONLY thing that can make change happen.
