When I saw this film for the first time 3 years ago, watching this section was the moment that I realized I had just entered into the real "Hell on Earth," made entirely by human beings, for animals as innocent victims, and for human beings as well. (This is not a joke. I mean this about the real Hell seriously.) And I totally lost it in that moment -- I howled and sobbed hysterically, I felt every millimeter, every manosecond of horror, fear and pain as my mind expanded outwardly and I realized that this was going on times 100's of billions of pigs every year, every day, day after day, forever, if the demons that live inside us and came from I don't lnow where, who want a world like this, can figure out a way to keep forcing it to happen. Seeing this film impacted me in the deepest way, and this is where it really started.
And I had not been able to remain fully conscious through all of it.
So thank you very much for uploading this clip. Because the first time, I went in and out of conscious awareness, just like a strobe light flashing on and off, probably due to the trauma of actually witnessing it. Flashing like that is indicative of amygdalla activity, which is the center in our brain that takes over temporarily during experiences of extreme trauma. (Known as "fight or flight" in pop psychology.) This method is so horrific and cruel, it was impossible for a naturally empathetic person like myself, a therapist, who is well acquainted with her own feelings, sensitivities and responses (I have to be, to be a good therapist), to stay completely conscious while watching what is actually a very common way of killing domesticated pigs (intelligent animals with an emotional center much like ours in their brain) that is supposed to be humane. (Well if this is an example of humane-ness, leave me out of it.)
Some may think it mighty weird, perhaps masochistic, to want to repeat a traumatic experience like this, but that isn't always true in every case. This film shook me out of the deep trance I had been put into by our American culture from early childhood, regarding the moral dissonance of being taught to love animals, and yet still tacitly condoning these kinds of acts, whether unknowingly or forgetfully, on a mass scale no less, so I or someone else can eat parts of their bodies. When I freaked at this point in the film, I also realized that to allow myself to fall back into that trance was totally unacceptable to me ethically. (And it would be very easy to do, given the results are for sale everywhere, heavily promoted, and to which we have been habituated over a lifetime). As I haven't wanted to repeat a review of the entire film again just yet, this was really helpful to make sure I had myself up to speed.
Thanks again! I know my description is likely a little off-putting, but people should not let themselves be deterred by this. If we can eat the animal, it's only fair that you, and I should know what the animal really had to go through to end up being food for us. We aren't little impressionable babies anymore, and if it happens that our hearts have beconme dead to empathy for the animals who sacrifice and die for us, then maybe it's time we learned the truth of that as well.
[BTW, if anyone was wondering, I haven't touched meat of any kind since I watched this 3+ yrs ago. I gave it up willingly and unhesitantly. Watching the film was one the more difficult things I have ever done. Afterwards, giving up meat completely for good and all was one of the easiest things I've ever done. All I wanted to do was purge any vestige of myself that had ever been involved with eating animal flesh at all. As long as this industry continues, I will never touch any of it again, without any regrets or longing. No question. But also I won't go back under any circumstance. I know now what a huge, poisonous lie we have been fed. Once your eyes and heart are truly opened to what alignment with Love really is, there's no question. To go back would be a true act of insanity.
roasties will literally larp as spiritual pig entities before they even think about using their wombs to save the white race.
sorry bitch but a man has to eat. if you think we can run a global world electro butt matrix civilization on eating kale you can just go ahead and jump in that gas chamber next because you are dumb as fuck
