    Because we don't go around slaughtering animals beforehand.
    I love steak, doesn't mean I love watching cows get slaughtered.

    Way to be a douche. Just for that I think I'm going to grill up some steak tonight and maybe tomorrow night too. Thanks for the motivation!

    I'd gladly lower a bolt into a cow's brain if that was the only way I could get beef. I ain't afraid to kill for my meat. I am a carnivore.

    This video was a bit disturbing, though, mainly because the woodpecker was eating the thing's brain while it was still alive.

    Not to get too off topic, but vegans drive me a little nuts. Only populations living in abundance can choose to be vegan. The earth's population would starve if everyone were vegan.

    im not vegan. ive been vegetarian on and off for a year. i never insinuated that i was superior. i just said "stay ignorant" and i mean that. if someone can not take a few hours to research what goes on in a mass produced meat factory (they are wonderful and delightful places)

    Woodpeckers are bizarre creatures, just ask an acid-tripped Brian Wilson who dreamed up this ode to Woody.

    People are disturbed because it was obvious that the dove chicks were suffering unnecessarily.

    Also, whether you admit it or not, we have been "trained" to be sympathetic towards the stereotypical dove more than other animals because of their symbolism.

    But of course, doves are no more special to the woodpecker than any other bird.

    Side note, did you guys know that this is a dove as well?

    I, for one, welcome our new woodpecker overlords.

    Please drop the pretentious act. Can see right through you bro.

    I'm fine with people being vegans, its just the whole morally superior act they drop and the humble brags. It gets annoying.

    It's one animal eating another animal's brains. It's okay to be disturbed by that.

    No one has any proof that it isn't a zombie.

    99.9% of us don't eat animals alive.

    keep on being pretentious though.

    fallenphoenix and redredemption. if you guys would like to watch this. for me personally it's much tougher to watch then a bird killing another bird in nature.

    if you don't have any interest that's too bad.

    Not once have you so called vegans posted anything related to vegan dish. Every thread that is related to food on here have always been meat related. Either contribute or shut your face.

    Im about as liberal as you get,

    but I love me some animal slaughter.

    I damn near fapped to this video. Ive fapped to PETA undercover videos. Ive fapped to tapes of my hunting kills.

    Things die, then get eaten. I eat meat and enjoy every moment. Right now, as youre reading this, hundreds of animals are being eaten by other animals ALIVE.

    Its nature bro...a circle of life.

    Wanna be disturbed??? Watch this and tell me how much your vag as started to leak blood.
