I hardly watch television and I hardly watch the news but, for some reason today I watched the Dutch news on the channel SBS6 and they reported about animal abuse in Belguim.
I am a calm person, I don't get angry often but when I do I flip!
I cried seeing this and the anger inside me turned into a raging inferno!
Before you read further make sure you can handle the images and video that I will share in this post!
Fair warning, I cried.
My heart stopped beating for at least a few seconds when the first image was shown. I swallowed and felt the pain of those poor animals! Now, I have to first state that I am in no case against eating meat because I eat it myself. Like many other people I enjoy a good piece of meat on my plate when having dinner. However I am not blind to the things happening in this messed up world.

I know that meat is a thing that will always cause a big discussion but at this moment I really don't care. I only feel the anger inside me and tears burning in my eyes. How can you be so cruel? How can someone torture an animal on their way to their end pain these animals who did not ask for anything at all? If you are able to seriously hurt an animal just for the fuck of it you are SICK!
There is no excuse for what these people do! Like I said, I like my meat and I will be honest, I will not stop eating meat but this is just insane! There are many ways to make the end of an animal less stressful, less painful and most of all more humane.

Animal rights is an organisation who made secret video materials in slaughter homes, this time in Belguim.
Is there really a need to pull a pig on his ear while hearing him scream? Is there a need to kick a pig when it's down? Do you really need to hang a cow on one leg while it's still alive to cut his throat? These are just a few of the shocking things I saw and it broke my heart!
These animals are raised to become meat, to end up on our plates but they are not raised to be handled like they are nothing! I am angry, I want to scream and most of all I want those people to feel what they have done! This needs to stop! Yes, I am fully aware that my post, my voice is just a drop on a burning plate but if this post makes at least two people realize what is going on in the world I can sleep a bit better!
Animals can't speak up but they are living souls and they deserve better!
I am not saying to stop eating meat but at least handle animals with respect!
To me it looks like those people who did this are serial killers in the making! If you can do this to an animal........ IT MAKES ME SICK!
To see an pig crawl over the floor towards his end with a badly broken leg, a pic or cow pushed down the trailer.... To see them being poked with shocks...... We are speaking about living souls, breathing and feeling emotions living souls. Even now, while I write this I feel nothing but pain and anger.
Again, this behavior needs to stop!
Animal Rights filmed the deaths of cattle in the so called intoxication box. In this box the animals need to be intoxicated so they become calm. However, this does not happen and the animals can see from the box how their companions are picked up and beaten. This causes the cattle ( cow or pig) to turn in full panic while attempting to get out of the box.
In spite of the legal obligation that animals MUST be anesthetized during the slaughter progress you can see cattle being beaten and bled in full consciousness! The employees DO NOT take the proper measures to give these animals an additional anesthesia.
I am at least pleased to know that the Belguim minister closed the slaughter house where these images and video were taken! It's a step and people are pushed with their nose on the facts!
