Why Are These People Crying? (from PETA)

An excerpt:

Paul McCartney�famously said, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.” So an intrepid group of animal advocates found a way to bring the slaughterhouse to the sidewalk. Every Saturday night, volunteers Jennifer Mennuti and Boyd Weidman screen PETA’s “Factory Farming in 60 Seconds Flat” for passersby on Miami’s busy Lincoln Road.

For many people, it’s the first time they are staring into the faces of the animals they call “steak,” “ham,” or “nugget.” There in front of them is the irrefutable evidence that their “entr�e” was a�cow�who coughed and choked as the blood spilling from her slit throat ran down her face and covered the floor below, a�pig�who screamed and cried as he was burned to death in scalding-hot water, a�chicken�whose desperate squawks went unheeded as her broken legs were slammed into shackles and she stared past the long line of her comrades to the whirring blades that would end her life. A photographer caught some of the people’s reactions, and it seems Paul was right.

�Today, in conjunction with Earth Hour, we are speaking up for the animals in the slaughterhouses.

Please have a meaningful Veggie Saturday.
