"I've seen airports treat luggage better than we treat animals,"

HBO “Real Time” host blasted factory farming as “just as despicable” as China’s wet markets.

Maher said one reason he wasn’t watching the “Tiger King” show was “because torturing animals is what got us into this mess.”

Thank you, BigmanPigman.

Most people are so damn stupid and heartless because they are so removed from the process that puts meat on their plates. Then there are those who could watch puppies gutted alive and not even flinch...and could roast them for dinner.

I like some of Bill Maher's stuff though he is not very popular here..he is a genuine promoter of humane issues and he is green...

There is other stuff that people understandably dislike but still...I am always grateful to anyone in the public eye who draws attention to our abysmal treatment of sentient living creatures...
No one is calling for a ban on meat etc. I am vegetarian solely because of the humane angle (and hope to be vegan some day). But I don't seek to impose that on everyone. But we do have to treat animal life with a baseline of respect and dignity and minimize cruelty wherever possible.
