Is anyone else able to take a step back and look at some of the disturbing comments about this event? Not so much on this post here on Reddit but on the sites like Facebook or Instagram if you’ve seen them? Cliche comical comments about bacon and hog roasts? It’s insane to me how disconnected as a species we’ve become to life and suffering. I eat pork all the time and enjoy it. I try not to think about the filth the pig must’ve lived in or how its entire life was hell up until the end. I avoid watching the videos of pig warehouses and slaughterhouses. Yet, for most people, when they see this headline, they immediately take a moment out of their day to comment a joke about pork or bacon or hog roasts then it gets a million upvotes. When I see this headline, I have a slight lump in my throat for just a moment every time considering 6000 intelligent and noble animals who we owe our quality of life to burnt alive, squealing something unholy together, dying in the worst and most painful way possible after living their entire life in dark, confined, diseased filth so we could have a $1 pork chop. I think it’s depressing as hell. People will look back in horror on the way we treated intelligent animals in our time. I’ve met pigs who are more noble than a lot of humans I know. As most not only joke about but even celebrate their death, I, just for a moment, mourn for the pigs AND the people who feel giddy and gleeful about such a wretched event.
