I read this story earlier today and just passed it off as more PETA type crap. I just found the video and couldn�t watch more than the first 10-15 seconds of it. I�ve never seen brutality like that in my life.

If you think you need to see it go to Live Leak, I won�t post it here.

So at max, he could face a $9000 fine and 3 years in jail if convicted of all 12 charges. Not nearly enough after seeing that video. If I were a judge and saw the first 10 seconds of it, I would throw the book at him. Imagine how often this went on before it was caught on tape.

Hopefully it catches all up to him. Karma can't come soon enough.

I wanted to watch the video for myself, I couldn't finish it. Simply disgusting, I hope there is a special place in hell for people like this.

Poor animals...

you should NEVER want to eat meat or meatproducts again and go vegan!! (ah, not so much..)"

It just depends upon how much you want to have an impact on the positive or how much you choose to have a negative impact. Look at the amount of resources devoted to raising animal 'food products' (IE: the amount of water used to get 1 kg of beef, the waste products created, the drugs, chemicals and hormones that they are laced with, etc.) and it can be an eye-opening endeavor. Furthermore, when it comes right down to it humans only eat animal products out of habit now - expensive, wasteful, destructive habit, not necessity.

...and aside from that post that I made which was simply about the philosophical aspects of the 'animal products' question:

I watched that video and as far as I am concerned that piece of garbage (Billy Joe Gregg) is on the same level as child molesters, rapists and serial killers. I'd LOVE to be the great equalizer for that azzhole. To see him hammering away at captive animals like that and bragging about it with his stupid redneck bravado makes my blood boil.

Lock me in a cage with that sh!!head and turn the cameras on.

A human being can not survive without animal products or a substitute (manmade). We are omnivores, not herbivores.

You are incorrect that we cannot survive without animal products.
You are correct that we are omnivores but that is indeed by CHOICE.

There are so many issues that could be discussed but it would make for a seriously long post so I will be brief.

The human system relies upon enzymes and fibre for digestion - animal products have neither.

The entire human digestive tract is designed to handle vegetation...just look at the convolutions and the winding surface area. Meat eating creatures have short and straight digestive tracts. Even human teeth are flat for grinding - please don't choose the 'but we have canine teeth' angle as it would merely show complete ignorance of the subject.

If you want to break it down to 'what is natural' think of it this way: before humans developed the tools and methods to trap and contain animals or the weapons to hunt and kill animals which ones could they chase down and catch? The answer will tell you much.

Humans are the only species to consume the glandular extract of another species (dairy products).

The bottom line is that we CHOOSE to consume animal products but most humans should consume about 80-90% less than they do...and furthermore, if everyone in North America would cut their animal product intake by a mere 5% we would have the 'answer' for world hunger.
