Ok, so this is my first post on my blogg for class. This blogg is going to be about animal politics e.g. animal cruelty, vegetarians and things like that. This is what I think about animal cruelty:
I think animal cruelty is not acknowledged because people are not exposed to what happens behind our food/clothes. A trip to the slaughterhouse is like watching the Saw movies live, with the chains, torture, mutilation and all. I remember my first trip to a slaughterhouse was a School trip. This was in third grade and our teacher wanted us to see where milk comes from. I don't think she intended us to see how horrid it was. The farm was a total mess and all I saw everywhere were cow's pumped with hormones, doing nothing but defecating next to each other in a dark damp muddy place crammed together. The smell was horrible, it was nothing like the commercials of cow's roaming free in a meadow eating grass and just chilling.
Animal Cruelty is a big part of where I come from. Villages in China are poor and unsanitary. I used to hear stories of back then how my grandpa would raise puppies and kill them to eat even though he did not want to. The killing process is always drastic since there is no pain-free way to slaughter(except probably with a bullet to the head but who is going to do that..)
These are some of my briefly interpreted experiences with animal cruelty. Stay tuned..
