Probably videos of chickens getting electrocuted or cows getting rods punched through their foreheads might be more effective.

I tend to agree. Chickens are actually hung upside on a track which carries them so that their throats are dragged across a long blade. Then they are plunged into boiling water, often still alive, before they can bleed out.

Personally, my activism consists primarily of visiting slaughterhouses and taking pictures of the animals being unloaded from their trucks. It changes people, in my experience. We do this once or twice a week. Anyone in the Denver area is invited to come along and should message me for more info.

The only way to convince people that eating meats is bad, is flood them with information regarding WHY it's bad for THEM.

You might be surprised. I have an insurmountable trove of scary trivia concerning the personal and environmental health impacts of our flesh addiction, but people just pay it no mind. On the other hand, nobody can seem to ignore footage of a pig being anally electrocuted or a cow being hung by their ankle after having their throat slashed. Myself, I'm into non-violent demonstration and I do sort of feel like confronting people unexpectedly with the gory truth about their choices is is a violent action, but it's just so fucking effective sometimes.

I mean, I dare anyone to watch this movie and come back here and rationalize what we as humans are doing to the other species on Earth.
