The videos made me want stricter regulation, it didn't make me want to go vegan or cut down on meat.

But there are other reasons to be a little more conservative with meat in my diet.

I find it hard to understand the disconnect you must experience.

Its human nature to dissociate. You have different moral meters for different situations. I still think its important that these animals live and die in a comfortable environment but banning meat is not a solution.

I watched some pretty terrible films. Watching those did make me cut down on meat and milk, and it made me try to source my animal products from more ethical sources. I still haven't been able to make the full commitment to veganism or vegetarianism, though, unfortunately.

That being said, I do wish these kinda of films were shown in schools. It would make most people more conscious of the cruelty and harm caused by these industries, and maybe there would be more push to move to more ethical ways of doing things in the meat and dairy industries.

ethical rape. ethical murder. ethical looking the other way.

I spent years chasing my tail trying to be an "ethical" consumer of intelligent creatures. Each time realizing, fuck, I've been lying to myself, complicit in my own brainwashing. There's no such thing as the ethical consumption of intelligent creatures.

I think it's important to be aware of the process of everything we consume, that way we can influence the impact our habits have.
