I don't know about anyone else,but this movie was so upsetting. I have never seen anything as sad as this. Me,my mom and sister all watched this with tears in our eyes.
I just don't understand how these people got off with a slap on the wrist basically. It wasn't even made a big deal especially here in Ohio where I live. Never heard about it till this movie.
God bless those who tried to prosecute those sick bastards.
OK Nancy, some facts of life.. People like you, want your eggs and bacon.. You want to goto McDs and order a 1/4 pounder.. But you don't really want to know where it comes from.. And when you do learn you all wail 'Oh no, we're part of this.. This isn't right.. If we make someone pay.. Our own conscience will be absolved.. Then we'll make unnessessary laws to someone else's life harder.. Then you can forget where your bacon, eggs and hambugers come from.. And then complain when prices go up... Damn farmers are getting rich off us...
All you know is that Bleeding heart Academic Liberals have told you these sort of things are wrong.. They started by creating this Politically Correctness crap. Then they started endoctrinating students as young as possible that certain things aren't right.. Yes I went to college.. I also know the sort of rubbish they try to spread there... And I know it's usually the weak minded that get brain washed into their way of thinking..
They recieved a slap on the wrist, because basically they were tried by a jury of their peers.. Not by a bunch of city dwelling bleeding heart liberals..
People that grow up in these communities know that livestock is raised to be slaughtered, to be food.. No matter how you want to look at it, that is all they are... That is why cruelty to 'pet' laws don't apply...

Or, ya know, people can decide that eating eggs and bacon is no longer productive to their well being both from a health stance and a spiritual stance. The result could be that they decide to make a change in their lifestyle and actually stop eating eggs and bacon. To each their own.
I'm a Republican, and I am completely against factory farming. It's not about political correctness (*shudders*, I am also very much against that as well as the false label of progressivism). It's about treating all life with respect. I'm not sure where you went to college, and your experience was undoubtedly very different than mine, but I have yet to attend a school (grade school as well as a college, university, etc.) that has encouraged animal rights over anything else. Special interest groups have done a good job at preventing that. I think they have the whole brain wash and preaching lies practice down to a tee.
The reason why the punishment was so small is once again thanks to special interest groups. I'm not familiar with Ohio laws, but where I am from the punishment would have been decided by the judge based on the laws that were already in place. I do not know what the maximum penalty could have been, nor do I know what the minimum penalty could have been. I do know that the punishment was obviously political. The judge was clearly affected by the images he saw, but he chose to play it safe. Imagine what would have happened if he had ruled hanging the pigs to be an inhumane way of death. He certainly would have received a lot of backlash from not only many of the other farmers but special interest groups as well. Unfortunately, such things have a tendency to distort the outcome of court cases.
If we consider life to be a blessing then we must consider death to be one as well.
Normally I don't respond to someone on imdb unless a.) that person is worth my time, and b.) I plan to have a mature reply that adds something of value to a thread, or sometimes c.) I'm in the mood to troll.
However, while none of the above applies in this case, I am still deeply compelled to say: Caveman_otr, please shut the f-k-k up, you ignorant fool. Thank you.
Ditto, Caveman. What he said.
