I can't believe Live Meat Bars are a thing. I seriously can't.

"Live Meat Bars"? I can't even believe this shit exists! I just assumed there was some sort of anti-animal cruelty legislation or something that would prevent something like this from existing; but apparently not! Out of the six people I mentioned this to at work, two of them had heard of it. (Or hadn't heard of it and were just lying to sound cultured or whatever.)

Anyway, before I go off the rails, let me explain what the fuck this Live Meat Bar malarkey is. Okay, so a "Live Meat Bar" is a place where an "artist" slowly carves and serves up pieces of an animal, usually a cow, that was "rescued" from a slaughter house in the name of "art" or some wacky bullshit. I'm not fucking with you at all. I know, look it up, it sounds like kooky bullshit, but it indeed exists. These "artists" proclaim that they're "rescuing" the animal. Something like Live Meat Bars rescue the animal from an undignified death, another number, cold and industrial kind of death. Wow. You can spin anything anyway you want apparently.

Supporters of the Live Meat Bar scene say that the animal would otherwise be dying in a factory-style slaughter house, and they turn the cow into a live art piece to "inspire creativity and promote the freedom of expression" or some dumb dogshit. Live Meat Bar "artists" cut pieces off a tied up, bucking cow who is crying out in agonizing pain while onlookers applaud and eat the cooked pieces of meat. How in the fuck do these people think this is any more of a dignified death for the cow? Isn't it a tortuous, horrible, painful, humiliating way to die? If you tortured a human being who was on death's door, I believe they would attempt to end their own life prematurely. So if a Live Meat Bar can torture a farm animal and say it was a dignified death because it was going to die anyway, can someone torture a terminally ill person, as long as it's referred to as art?

Live Meat Bars, ridiculous and insane. Terrible. I need to do more research to find out how these end. What happens to the cow at the end? The people who attend and perpetuate the Live Meat Bar scene are absolutely insane and should be locked up and have the shit kicked out of them. And I'm not even a vegan!

Don't fight it, invite it!

They can interrupt my play, they can cost me money....

But I'll be damned if I am going to let them touch my cool state of mind.

I'm still smilin' ...
