I watched something the other day that definitely affected me and made me think. It was a video someone put up on Facebook of Israeli celebrities (I had never heard of any of them) watching a video of animals being slaughtered for their meat. The celebs could barely watch it, most of them asked for it to be shut off and one guy who looked like a cliche tough guy with his shaved head and tattoos, well, he was actually crying and really disturbed by what he was seeing. You could not see what they were seeing only hear their commentary and for some reason this video really made me think. I am still thinking about it now and wondering if I can really justify eating meat any longer. I mean, there are so many alternatives in today's world do I really want to be part of the suffering of animals?
I wouldn't say this broke me but anything to do with animals being harmed really does affect me on a deep level.....that and kids being harmed. I think I could actually kill someone I caught harming a defenceless child...
