Philosopher and sociologist Theodor Adorno defined schadenfreude as “largely unanticipated delight in the suffering of another (sentient creature) which is cognized as trivial and/or appropriate.

So if you wanted to enhance your experience of schadenfreude Zoos are great but you can really enhance your viewing pleasure by convincing humans to eat cheap meat from animals (also sentient creatures) tortured in a factory farm.

Don’t get me wrong while I eat a plant-based diet, I don’t have a problem with you eating animals.. As long as you kill it and dismember it yourself.

We don’t eat our dogs and cats so why do we ignore the hypocrisy and let others torture lambs, chickens, cows and possibly the smartest of all farm animals the pig so we can get a hamburger, bacon and chicken nuggets for a dollar.

Abrogating responsibility because someone else tortures and kills is no excuse for our appetite for meat which according to the editors of World Watch state that “the human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force behind virtually every major category of environmental damage now threatening the human future — deforestation, erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, social injustice, the destabilization of communities and the spread of disease.” Lee Hall, the legal director for Friends of Animals, is more succinct: “Behind virtually every great environmental complaint there’s milk and meat.”

Looking for evil in the world, don’t bother with Washington go to Arkansas, known as the Rockefeller state and home of Wal-Mart and Tyson Chicken.
