Almost like being willing to kill someone because they taste good is never ethical treatment
Correct. Unfortunately, there's variability on who people consider someone rather than something. We obviously need to eat something to survive; some type of formerly living life form. Unfortunately, many people don't even understand other human beings to be someone, or at least consider other groups as less of a someone than themselves.
I honestly wonder if some of those people even view themselves as people. They willingly follow dehumanizing ideologies that force everyone to be perfect cogs in a machine.
Of course they're ok with killing animals. They celebrate their own deaths in pursuit of an empty purpose. They sacrifice everything to serve some vague idea rather than actual people.
I want the animals I eat to live super happy, comfortable lives and then be killed quickly while they are unaware. It makes better meat. Just try those steaks from those super massive body-builder looking cows in Japan that get fed hella good food and have massages 3 times a day.
I guess we should start barbequing pet dogs then. At least that's less cruel than factory farms, fwiw.
"I want the victims not to suffer, because that makes the meat taste better!"
Whoa, hold on there, Pollyannna.
There ARE people in the world who say, “it’s awful that the only way to make x happen involves suffering. I’ll be respectful of that suffering and try to eventually remove it and minimize other suffering in the process too.”
We just also need to remember that there are also people who say, “If we wanted to be seen as good, we wouldn’t do x in the first place. The fact that y and z causes suffering too is negligible.”
Another thing to remember is that capitalism self-selects for the second type.
Are you trying to justify animal agriculture or ?
You know what they say about Soylent Green...
...is that it's a capitalism metaphor?
It's not as good as plenny shake but better than huel?
It tasted better when they had twice the Indonesian?
I mean those kids grow up to be adults and they need somewhere to work that allows them to pursue their “passions”….
