PETA can be a bit out there at times when they worry about people eating honey or wearing silk, but sometimes they get back to their original roots and worry about animal welfare.

PETA has been investigating factory farms and they have found some atrocities. The workers on the investigated farm took great delight in tormenting and torturing the animals in their care and it was caught on video. Only open the following if you have the stomach:

The people at the intestigated Iowa pig farm turn my stomach. I hope I never meet people like these because I may have to, at a minimum, spit in their eye . . . or stick a finger in their eye or a rod up their ass.

Next time you go buy hot dogs, or chili, or any other meat containing product from a mass-market producer, keep in mind how those animals are treated and that you may be helping pay the sick mother fuckers that treated them that way. Although Hormel denies knowing or advocating this type of behavior, how do they really know how the animals that supply their meat is treated? This may be one farm, but how many sick mother fuckers working at how many farms are there?

I'm not telling anyone to go vegetarian - I'm not. I'm asking you to think before you buy. Visit your local farmer's market. Look the farmer in the eye and see if you think he/she is a person that treats their animals with dignity while they are alive. Choose carefully who you want to support.
