....stop and take a quick look around you and notice how greatly the environment and terrain have been altered by humans...that alone is proof that we are dominant species...and yes they do have feelings but it wont stop me from beating the hell out of them...
I've been treated worse than any of those animals on a routine basis (except for the cow/bullock that was branded) and noone would consider making any tribute to that. The animal rights activists don't bother videotaping anything to do with their mania about lab rats, because noone cares about them. If the animals in this video were not appealing in any way then noone would care about them either.

but why cant u understand!! U MIGHT NOT B AN ANIMAL, BUT THEY HAVE FEELINGS! plus whats the difference between a pig and u? that the pig doesnt stay in the computer all day long, but u should respect the animals whether U LIKE IT OR NOT!
"it was to you. so you'd want to be killed?"
Hahaha they wouldn't be taking me. Self-flattery? Yes. But they wouldn't.
"second ...about that respect thing....how about....NO!....i refuse to respect those lower than me..."
So.....you beat a dog and that dog rips your arm in defence, the dog gets put down and you heal. If you're not seeing the injustice and wrong here then you're a moron.
Beating animals because you can is no short of being a bully. Technically Polar Bears are lower than you. Oh how I'd love to see you try and bully one of those one on one. It'd be a very different story wouldn't it? The fact is, people like you are spineless fools who get a kick out of hitting things that can't hit back. Personally I hope one day you hit the wrong Dog and it tears out your windpipe.

i'm not sure what i think of animal testing and killing for food purposes. i mean i've never really been a meat person, i usually eat it cuz i need the nutrients. and i've honestly considered becoming a vegetarian before. its not extremely easy considering several products have some type of animal product in them. i believe animal testing is cruel..and in a way when i say that i think im almost being hypocritical cuz i use shampoo and soap. 😕 😬

not if its done humanitarily without pain, and its well-treated until it is killed. A cow in the wild doesn't live very long, and can starve do death in winter, or catch a disease. A cow on a farm also doesn't live very long, but it gets fed and cared for by the farmer, who will willingly pay for a vet when it is ill.
Thing is though... There is no humane way to kill an animal, at least no way to do it and still have it be edible when it's done. Somebody asked about what they were doing to the cow... I should think that would be obvious, they were killing it. I believe draining an animal's blood is a fairly common way to slaughter it, as awful as that may seem.
However, people need to realize that very few farmers treat animals, even meat animals, like that. For one thing, it's illegal, so the people in the film can and should be shut down. I think the whole thing was rather misleading, just because it is taken almost entirely out of context... Many people will watch that and assume most animals are treated that way before being slaughtered, which is totally untrue. Or that it's perfectly legal, which is also totally untrue. I like animals, but PETA has always bugged me.
