I thought this documentary was pretty good. I thought that C.C. Baird got what he deserved. Any person guilty of those crimes should be punished to the full extent of the law. With that being said, I find it very odd that some animal activists/animal lovers if given the choice would prefer that criminals be put to death instead of dogs be put to sleep. Why is that?
I will not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
I will face my fear.
I will let it pass through me.
I think that people who stand up for animal rights do so because the animals cannot do so for themselves.
i agree with the purpose of the documentary but i don't understand why you don't eat meat its the way are bodies are designed. i love animals and i work in a veterinarian's practice but i love meat.

but pigs taste better than cats and dogs. also what are you accomplishing by becoming a vegan? the amount of animals killed doesn't change. and one more thing i'm not really a hyppocrite, because i'll treat a pig at my practice too all that i'm saying is that i LOVE to eat meat. and who the hell are you to tell me that my lifestyle is wrong. its none of your fuc king business what i eat.
Watch Out
YOu can say that a veg*n is wrong for not eating meat but yet you get offended when someone turns the tables? How rude!

"We are meant to be herbivores." - xfile1971
This is simply not true. If you look at the enzymes present in our body, some of which are responsible for the breakdown of our food, you'll see that many of them are specifically tailored for breaking down animal proteins. To come at it from a different angle, we lack the enzyme necessary for the breakdown of one of the most common vegetable proteins--cellulose. I'm not saying that we should eat animals, but to say the word 'meant' as if it's some biological disposition of ours not to eat meat, is simply wrong.
I would recommend reading Michael Pollan's new(er) book, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. The title really speaks to the dilemma that faces us humans and takes one deep into the food chains (don't think fast food chains; think circle of life food chains) that sustain our nation. I found myself coming away from the book with a much larger disdain for the people who run commercial food chains (now you can think grocery stores and their suppliers) and a desire to get back in "touch" with what it is that I'm eating everyday.
Also, I'd like to addd that I agree with you that I'd also one day like to see an end to the death of animals for the sake of human food. At the same time though, we must remember that this is simply an ideal, something which in the near term may likely not come to fruition. What we can do is be practical and advocate for better housing and care methods for our livestock. And also more humane ways of executing animals that are destined to become human food.
