I really didn't want to brutalize someone who hadn't
seen the movie but I'm glad to have someone to talk
to about it.

You bring up the excellent point about necessity. My
problem was that I saw the clip without the sound the
first time. When I couldn't believe what I saw I watched
it again with the sound track. It was a very different thing.
I don't agree that it is the same as regular food because
the animal was a pet and if ever there was an example of
a Judas goat then that was it. I wonder if that saying
somehow unconsciously prompted the scene. There are
so many examples of farmers who can't do what she did
because the animals have become pets. I don't know if
you would feel the same way if you watched without the
sound track. It looked like one of the cruelest things I've
ever seen and it seemed to be intended to be that way.
I doubt very many people are that cruel. Yes I'm a vegan
except for egg whites and milk. I used to eat chicken until
we got some for eggs and they became pets. After you've
had a chicken jump into your lap and take bread from your
lips and ride on your arm like one of those peregrine falcons,
.... it makes me laugh thinking about it... then it's hard to eat
them. The same thing happened to me when I was exposed
to cows at a horse ranch.
