When I saw the first two minutes of that horrible "documentary" "Faces of Death" they showed some rich, Caucasian idiots at a "restaurant". At the middle of the table was a monkey, only his head exposed through a round hole at the center of the table. The diners were repeatedly striking the poor monkey on the head to knock it unconcious. They then proceeded to eat the monkeys brains (raw)! One diva broad got sick to her stomach.
Somebody told me that humans were the highest life form on the planet. I've heard how oriental people will catch sharks, cut off the fins, then dump the dying, suffering shark back in the water to expire a slow, painful death. Some cultures have no respect for animals. They do not consider the pain animals go through to provide these idiots with "aphrodisiacs", delicacies (birds nest soup, anyone?)
and everyday servings of meat.
I don't care if their culture is different from ours. There is never an excuse for permitting an animal to suffer, to satisfy a humans' carnivorous diet. I am NOT a vegetarian or "tree-hugger". I love a hamburger, steak, fried chicken, etc. BUT...I do not kill the animal myself. Even Jesus lived on a diet that included meat. Consuming meat is mentioned in the Bible. God put animals on the Earth for many reasons, and one of them is to supply mankind with protein-rich meat.
The brief two minutes (more like 35 seconds) of that movie that I saw made me cry, and I am a 61 year old man. I can't stand to see any animal suffer or in pain.
We just lost our dog a week ago, due to natural causes, but I cried for days. Again, I don't care about the differences in "culture". To torture an animal for our convenience or quality of taste is WRONG! This kind of thing is almost enough to turn me into a vegetarian! Heaven help us. We are more savage than the animals we see on "Wild Kingdom".
