OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND
Recently, on
my local morning news, they showed a video of people holding baby pigs. Most of
the people in the video said they were going to stop eating bacon. After the
video aired, one of the newscasters asked, “Would holding a baby pig make you
stop eating bacon?”
Another one
answered, “I don’t know. I really like bacon. I like to keep it out of sight,
out of mind.”

The meat,
egg and dairy industries thrive on this “out of sight, out of mind” attitude so
many people have. Why? Because the industry is cruel and most people are
against animal cruelty. Most people have feelings and a heart and if the truth
was known and acknowledged these industries would cease to exist.
If you had
to see pigs being slaughtered and your bacon being made, of course you would
not eat it. If you had to see baby chicks sent alive down a food grinder, of
course you would not buy eggs. If you had to watch calves being taken from
their mothers, listen to their cries as they are sent off to slaughter houses,
of course you would not buy dairy products.
If you saw
the environmental damage these industries do, you would not buy eggs, meat, or
dairy. If you saw the harm these products are doing to your bodies, you would
not buy them.
Animal
agriculture is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Big pharmaceuticals
companies also have a billion dollar stake in keeping you eating their
products.
They use
words like “meat” instead of calling it what it really is “flesh”. They use
words like “free range”, “grass fed”, “humane” just to make you feel better
about buying their products. The standards to use these words are all set by
the industry themselves, so they mean nothing.
Vegans are
trying to get you to open your eyes. We are trying to get you to actually see
what is going on and take the self-imposed blinders off.
Please open
your eyes and see.
Here are
some videos to help you see the truth. Be forewarned, they are very hard to
watch.
And this
just a small sampling. The industry is so cruel, there are thousands upon
thousands of videos showing animal cruelty out there. Everything you see in
these videos is standard practice in the industry. That is why so many videos
are available.
The only way
we will stop this cruelty is for people to stop buying their products, to stop
supporting these industries. People like you. Please go vegan. For the animals,
for the planet, and for your health.
