My final decision

It's been on my mind for a while now and I've reached a final decision. I've thought about it long and hard and I just can't understand it and I've cried too many tears because of it. I've finally decided I'm no longer eating any pork. Since I was a kid I used to collect pigs because I thought they were cute. 

I still think they are cute. 

I saw a photo from the Humane Society's Web site about a pig farm inspection. I cried my eyes out and by the time I was done I had huge circles under my eyes..My eyes are still stinging from the pain. There are some things I was not designed to see and this was one of them. The slide show said that these images might be disturbing for some.. and like a masochist, I looked.  

I saw pigs jammed in tiny crates and they had sores from not being able to turn around. I saw piglets who right after being born had died because the mother couldn't reach them. I saw some piglets who had fallen in between the small crack after birth and had hung itself not being able to get up. They were left for days on end like this. 

They also had testimonies from some of the workers at the farm who said they castrated the pigs soon after birth and threw their testicles at each other and fed them to the mother pig, "just for fun." And they laughed. And so they are so evil that I won't dignify their actions any further by continuing to talk about it. This is sheer evil. This is wrong. My mind cannot comprehend such evil. I don't want to live in a world this evil!!

What have we become as a society? When was this EVER OKAY? 

God gave us dominion over animals, but he did not give us dominion to treat them so cruelly. And this is all because we are so greedy because we have to eat our bacon and our sausage that we would turn our eyes to all of this??!!!! When is this ever okay????

What have we become??

Surely God did not intend for us to be this way to our animals. And I know what you are thinking.. He did not intend for us to be this way to each other.. We kill each other as humans. And this is wrong and terrible and extremely evil. But, at least the human had an iota of a chance at defending itself.
