STOP ANIMAL TESTING FOR HUMAN PRODUCTS!!! TEST HUMAN PRODUCTS ON HUMANS!
![I just was reading about this last night. I need to read this book. =]](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnfutmYtOY1qcu6ojo1_400.png)
A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks “Why the long face?”. The horse does not respond because it is a horse. It can neither speak nor understand English. It is confused by its surroundings and gallops out of the bar, knocking over a few tables.
Why did I laugh so hard.
Let me reblog this again
My sense of humor.
Infinite giggles.

Lights Out: Larry Althiser, a professional meat cutter with over 30 years of experience, owns and operates the Hartwick, NY-based meat processor Larry’s Custom Meats — a slaughterhouse with a sensitive side.
“A lot of people, ‘oh you kill for a living’,” Althiser tells Liza de Guia in The Good Slaughter. “Well, you know, yeah I do, but, you know, that animal needs to be treated right.”
The sad fact is that “skilled, artisanal type butchers” who take pride in their work and thrive on transparency are mostly nonexistent. According to Department of Agriculture figures, factory farms account for “more than 99 percent of all farmed animals raised and slaughtered in the United States.” The butchering of animals at Larry’s processing plant may not be very appetizing, but it’s done with the kind of humanity that is sorely missing from an industry that long ago forgot the need for heart.

It’s so different after watching Food Inc. to see someone who truly cares about the animal, the process, the finished product and to hold such pride over the quality of work done.
