Rob Zombie Speaks Out Against Horror

[hadleyj]

Rob Zombie and PETA teamed up for a 2007 holiday hotline, set up to combat Butterball's Turkey Talk Line, featuring Zombie. Don't know 'bout you but I didn;t realize what a turkey goes through before landing on my thanksgiving table. :mad:

What did you think? It was born frozen and plucked?

[hadleyj]

No, I'm not naive but like what Zombie says and what is on the website,

"Turkeys often become painfully crippled because they are given drugs to make them grow so unnaturally large that their legs splinter," says Zombie. "In one Butterball slaughterhouse, PETA found a worker sexually assaulting birds and another stomping on birds' heads until their skulls exploded."

I am not cool with that. I'd rather not eat turkey than think about the stuff that the little guy went through to get on my plate. I think that it's cool that Rob Zombie did this because I probabloy wouldn't have found this info otherwise.

I suggest you go to PETA's site and order the vegetarian starter kit. It's free and has a DVD about all the shit that animals go through. It was hard for me to stomach but definately drives home the point.

[hadleyj]

Thanks, I think I might. I use to be vegetarian, for years actually and then somehow went away from it. Finding this page on Rob Zombie and Butterball has opened my eyes to why I ever was veg in the first place. Animals do go through so much unnessary shit and for what? I think I'll start by havng a turkey free thanksgiving this year . . .:rolleyes:

Or simply buy free-range organic turkeys

I plan on going to a local farm and picking, killing and cleaning my own this weekend!

Mass-produced food is terrible. Buy local, buy fresh.

Here here!

I only ate free range bird for a while... then went vegetarian.

...

And then I had a big mac.

The end.

Sadly, that's the same fate most of my vegetarian friends submitted to.

I though KFC was the one that did more of them in.... most that I have known anyway.

I think if anything it will be a Portuguese chicken burger that gets me! :D

The animals are treated badly and if by stopping eating meat I could stop it, I would, but the sad truth is that it's not that simple. I feel bad for the animals and despise the people who did this shit to them but if I don't buy them and they get thrown away, then they died for nothing.


Animal abusers make me sick, I'll stick to chucking ferrets.

You could just stick to eating leaves and shagging trees... :confused:

Yes, they are three simple words, but what the heck are you talking about?

But this is untrue - if you did stop eating meat, you would stop some of the slaughter.

However small the industrial impact of one less meat-eater, there is nontheless some impact.

With enough impact, things eventually change. It is a long road, but it is as simple as that.

But just like people who complain about media manipulation yet still contribute to the viewing figures and newspaper sales, sometimes we just have to admit our hypocrisy and put these things to the back of our minds.

The tasty fruit/unwanted seed analogy might be significant here.

:D You said "Shagging Trees" :D

I love turkey and I can't wait to eat some on Thanksgiving. It will probably be a Butterball too... but I have had freshly slaughtered turkey and it's pretty damn tasty. My cousin was actually raising a few this year, but I think he was only doing it for the eggs.

[ChronoGrl]

Sadly, that's the same fate most of my vegetarian friends submitted to.

haha... Well, I still definitely believe in eating free range.

My problem with being veggie (I was a vegetarian for 2 years in college after reading John Singer), was that I wasn't very healthy about it... I figured out that I could STILL eat pizza and be vegetarian... But that's not healthy.

So, I wasn't healthy about it... And went through a period of time where my previous convictions just weren't... that... important to me anymore. I joke about it, but it was actually pretty sad. :(

That being said, I'm definitely a proponent for buying local, organic, and free range... Or to at least be conscious of how animals are treated in the industry (it bothers me that people either don't know or don't CARE to know... but that's their prerogative).


Also... For Thanksgiving... Forget turkey. We're eating duck. Mmmmmmm.

I was vegan for 6 years. I'm not very picky about what I eat so I didnt have a problem with the taste of vegan food. I had a girlfriend who was VERY vegan. She expected me to go to protests and not wear certain types of cloths because of the leather, yada yada yada. I'm all about doing what makes you happy. Maybe I'm a bad man. Maybe I just don't care. I will tell you this. I love turkey. I love the way it tastes. I love how it makes me tired after I eat it.
I think being vegetarian has come to be nothing more than an ongoing fad. Its what the cool kids do! If it came down to it I would eat people. I'll eat anything(and I have) as long as it is cooked, tastes good, and is too much of a strain on my body.
I would be more than happy to purchase a bird, kill it, and prepare it.

The only thing that bothers me is what someone said about that guy molesting the turkeys. Thats just sick and an indication of the possiblity of that individual doing something waaaaay worse down the road.

EAT TURKEY! :D

[ferretchucker]

Thanksgiving is just something mentioned from time to time in our house. But then, I suppose you don't celebrate Bonfire night or pancake day.

I was dropped on my head an now so good I think don't.

That's quite sad about the Turkeys, I don't eat veal after hearing what they do to the baby cows, i tried to become a vegetarian once, maybe I'll give it another shot.

[ferretchucker]

We're good enough to have outlawed veal in my neck of the woods. I'm just saying. ;)
