    I used to agree with the second paragraph, but watching videos of pigs/cows/chickens being slaughtered changed my mind. Imo their prior treatment doesn’t really negate what happens there- and even if it did, I couldn’t use ideal farm conditions as a defense when the vast majority of meat I’ve been eating is raised under less ideal conditions.

    Methods of slaughtering them are terrible and absolutely criminal.

    One good thing PETA has done is raise awareness about how the meat industry treats its animals - I’ll give them that, definitely.

    PETA itself is an organization I place in the same category as a cult, though. Their own practices make the sincerity of their intentions questionable.

      Agreed. Not the biggest fan of PETA; am very much a fan of animal welfare and rights being advocated for. CO2 ‘stunning’ of pigs especially gets to me.
