No one is "meant" to be tortured and abused. I find you reply to be morally abhorrent and absolutely disgusting.

Right now, at this very moment, on American highways, there are no less than 5,000 concentration camp trucks. Trucks that we’ve constructed. Inside these trucks there are living, terrified, innocent beings (such as) cows, pigs and chickens. These trucks are being driven to concentration camp slaughterhouses that we’ve carefully constructed all across America. When the trucks arrive, the animals are so frightened they won’t even get off the truck. They’re not stupid. They know what’s next. So people go on the trucks with electric prods and force them to walk down the chutes to their own death. Or if the animals are small enough to manhandle, like chickens, we’ll just grab them off the trucks and toss them inside. Inside, these innocent, living beings are hanged upside down, fully conscious. In other words, they go in alive against their will and come out chopped up into hundreds of pieces. I think this type of behavior is inexcusable and unbecoming of a species that claims to understand right from wrong. The animals have not done one single thing to us to deserve the wrath and the cruelty that we hurl on them.

I find your reference to "concentration camps" in relation to livestock finishing feedlots and slaughterhouses to be tremendously inappropriate. Please find another way to shock and horrify readers into treating food animals more humanely.

It might not have been your intent, but you are reducing the victims of actual concentration camps to the status of food animals.

I think it's correct, in fact livestock farms are worse than most concentration camps.

[logfromblammo]

Except that their purpose is not human genocide.

If you do indeed believe that battery farming of livestock for meat production is worse than human genocide, we cannot have a rational conversation about ethics or animal rights, as we do not agree on the necessary foundation premises.

We must differentiate between concentration camps and death camps. Concentration camps are just large prisons, death camps are for genocide. Also, food farms are for animal genocide.
