He kept a pistol on the head of the horse and pressed the trigger. The horse immediately fell to the ground. He cut its throat with a sharp knife and blood came rushing. Its skin and all other parts, including the intestine, were taken off. Somewhat similar things were done to sheep, calves, and bulls. All would be utilized for human-purpose.
It's the description of Blood of the Beasts (Le Sang des bêtes), a 1949 short French documentary film. I could see people flinch while watching it. They were pitying the poor animals.
One thing, I failed to understand was why people were behaving that way. Most of them are non-vegetarians. Don't they realize that the same process would have been followed before the food kept on their plate was prepared? Many of them use products made of leather. Don't they think that the leather has come out in a similar way?
Why are we such hypocrites? I could watch the documentary without any flinching or pitying. I am, anyways, considered as the heartless person! But , those who supposedly have a heart and are emotional beings, were quite disturbed at the sight of dead animals. Many didn't even watch it.
I couldn't help but smirk at their double standards.
