Im a veggie for a number of reasons. I saw pigs being killed on the F Word the other night and almost cried! Any meat eaters out there, how can you eat bacon/sausages after seeing that? Pigs can be kept as pets and are like dogs, its so cruel. I hope Gordon Ramsey chokes on some bacon rind.

I saw pigs being killed on the F Word with Gordon Ramsey on Wed. and had to turn off. In fact I know it is a fact of life, but I think I am going to complain.
It was one of the most sickening things I have ever seen, even though my parents used to live on a small holding in North Essex.
I hope that big headed **** Gordon Ramsey chokes on the meat from those two pigs.

When you did eat meat, where did you think they came from?? The way he killed them and raised them was a lot more humane than the usual animals we would usually buy in a supermarket.
I was veggie for 12 yrs for similar reasons, I still feel if people are eating meat they should be able to kill it if necessary. Stupid I know, but my turning point was catching, killing and eating a fish while camping. I still won't eat any meat unless I know where it has been raised and how it has been killed, but am always thinking about going back to veggie.
PS it is not easy to just cut out meat, you need to make up the proteins and nutrients eating lentils, beans, pulses, wholemeal rice etc etc.
Best wishes.

I didn't see it. I saw at the beginning it says includes scenes of pig slaughter, so if that Blizzard thing hadn't been on I would have watched it.
I have, however, seen meet your meat and that fur making video off Heather McCartney's website. I've also seen animals slaughtered before, and none of them phased me at all. I still agree with meat, and fur for that matter.
Maybe that makes me inhuman, but I think not. Meat is...DEAD ANIMALS...dun dun duuuun. Get over it! Most of the human race eats meat, eating meat is natural for humans, humans have eaten (and thus killed) animals for millions of years. You can pretend that, by not eating meat, you are somehow special and part of an elite group of more morally adept people, that doesn't make it true.
As I said, eating meat is natural; to say that you 'almost cried' is nothing to be proud of, it makes you completely over-sensitive. Besides, you didn't have to watch it did you? There was a warning before the programme.
That's fine though, people disagree with things like that all the time, I don't care. I don't care whether you thought it was terrible, or you cried or anything. The thing that really got up my nose though was that you said you hope someone dies because he killed an animal. I hope you were exaggerating. If you can hate the killing of a pig for something necessary like food so much, how can you agree with the death of a human? That last sentence was utterly stupid and contradicted your entire argument, in the process irritating me enough to make this answer.

Hey there.
I didn't see the F Word, and I'm not a vegetarian, but I agree with what you are saying. There is no need to show anything as graphic as the slaughter of an animal on T.V.
Gordon Ramsey seems to think that he can push his foul language and inapropriate behaviour onto the general public,
I hope that he soon realises that he has pushed things too far.

They can eat meat because they're too ignorant to care if millions of innocent animals are killed for the temporary satisfaction of the cooked flesh of a dead animal carcass on their tongues. And, in the words of Paul and Linda McCartney, "If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian".

I am not a veggie but am seriously thinking about it after seeing that, the employees in the abartoirs must have no hearts....if i had to kill my own food I know I could not do it.
I could catch my own fish and eat them but no way could I ever kill a bull, pig, chicken or lamb to satisfy my hunger.
I think that the majority of the population would be the same if they knew how there lovely burgers and steaks were prepared.

it is part of nature. denying the natural order and thinking you are better because you chose to do unnatural things I think is more wrong. Those animals that die to feed us were bread and raised to feed us. Also everything dies. You are killing plants to eat them. We kill animals too. It is called the food chain.
If dogs are as tasty as pigs i would eat some dog if someone cooked it up for me.
We also kill animals to make lots of stuff. If you are against killing animals you should use nothing that requires the killing of them. Every medicine required killing animals to make. If you are against killing of animals you should not use that either. You should also use no leather products either. Don't fly they use chickens to test how many birds a plain can hit. no trains either they test new designs of those for animal impacts that kills animals. cars they just crash test with dummy's so those are OK to drive. No food substitutes either. So you can have no diet products because testing of these kills animals.
I doubt you do those things. you probably just don't eat meat because it makes you think of the animal being killed but with all the other things it is far enough removed you can pretend like it does not happen. If so then you are a hypocrite.

I'm a veggie too. It is inhumane how all animals are farmed and slaughtered for human consumption.
Sadly, meat eaters close their eyes as they don't want to know about animal cruelty.

i don't eat pork or beef..due to religious reason..
but i've heard before that pork is bad for health..pig meat contains some kind of bacteria that can't be destroyed even under high temperature...
i take chicken though because well ...we are suppose to eat chicken right?
