In comparing my thoughts before and after the movie, I happened to be stricken by the last moment in the documentary where a mother spoke about her deceased child and how the meat company decided not to take blame. Noticing her eyes and over-whelming self esteem, I happened to acknowledge that in every word she spoke she felt strongly in letting this out to aware everyone. Therefore she could have escalated the issue to its full extent, instead she chose to reminisce on his memories and speak out about this issue to prevent it from ever happening to anyone else. I’ve never been a mother and I’m pretty sure I’ll never be one, yet if I was a parent I know damn well, I would bend back and forth to get vengeance for my child regardless. A change in direction, I’m not here to criticize on the situation and how the issue was handled, yet I’m writing about how it opened my eyes.
It opened my eyes with the thought that one of my favorite fast-food burgers originates from days and days of animal captivity and slaughter. I admit I’m a meat eater but I feel strongly about meat, even through the gruesome scenes I witnessed in the video, It’s not that I’m afraid to re-accustom myself but I don’t want to change who I am and what I eat. I strongly agree, I am upset of viewing slaughter, so one thing that I can try on my part, I could start consuming of free-range animals. As I seen all today how the meat process works, it does file under the difference of morality and ethics. Morality, I can see that it is cruel to captivate animals and then kill them with no remorse, though Ethically, if we don’t sacrifice them, how would we eat well? How would we enjoy eating our custom dishes? How would food culture be diverse within all races?
See, there’s no straight answer or result how to solve this problem or enhance this survival skill, but it’s up to every individual to base off from the film and create their unique actions.
