Guilt free Sausages?

[Ahleckz]

This.

It poses the question of what is better. No life at all, or a life which ultimately leads to slaughter for meat.

Obviously treating animals badly, leading to psychological and physical pain is not good. But as long as good animal welfare standards are kept to, i fail to see the problem. As far as our science has discovered, farm animals have no concept of what they are alive for and what their purpose is (ie that they are bred for meat), and when i'm on a walk through the countryside, most of the cows, sheep and pigs i see look pretty damn content/calm.

So the question has to be asked...won't ending meat farming mean the end of millions of potential animal lifes? Death is a consequence of life, so saying that eating meat causes deaths is a rather strange argument. The whole natural food chain has shown that the destiny of most animals is that they end up as food for a different one.

You can’t give an animal a nice life and then murder it. It’s a logical fallacy.

Ending meat farming will mean those millions of animals won’t exist so there’s nothing to kill. That’s better.

Too drunk to really understand the question, but I raised 4 porkers last year from 8 weeks to about 16 before sending them to slaughter.

Biggest mistake was putting them right next to the garden and getting friendly. They are like dogs they would run up and roll over for a belly rub every morning. So there was a bit of gilt (pun intended)

I think I had 1500 sausages and god knows how many joints. Literally a pickup bed full of meat.

As soon as there's sustainable, reasonably priced vat-grown meat on the market, I won't be looking back.

its only fair really, the pig dies for you in a gas chamber then you die ,slower probably

random link one of many its fact tbh ,your probably going to get cancer ,anyway enjoy ,i got out in 2014

I'm not probably going to get cancer due to eating red meat.

Pork farming is truly horrific.
We should have more respect for these very intelligent animals.

 

[Cooler running]

Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

I never had any guilt anyway.

Humans are evil, it's in all of us, the evil defines us. I see you've accepted it too.

Why? those things are mostly mutually exclusive tbh... the animal can be treated well during it's life, essentially have a much better life and be much better cared for than it could ever expect in the wild (and tbh... farm animals have evolved a fair bit from anything "wild" anyway) and then be killed as quickly and as ethically as possible at the end.

Ending meat farming will mean those millions of animals won’t exist so there’s nothing to kill. That’s better.

That's subjective.

You are using the wrong adaptive index on that one.

 

[Rroff]

I have no intention of giving up meat any time soon - but if there was a decent synthetic alternative I'd swap in an instance.

very true ,im just sad i waited decades to do something about it

I’m not eating humans though as I know what you filthy degenerates get up to.

 

[Jono8]

That’s better.

Why?

So the natural food chain is evil? Most animals are food for other animals.

 

[adam cool dude]

indeed.

money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you bacon and that's pretty damn close.

Maybe Ron Swanson has foreseen the future.

 

[Lartyconshayo]

I always think back to the film Babe. A pig has basically no real use in society but for its meat. That's thousands of years of evolution that has brought that. If everyone were to stop eating pork tomorrow they will go extinct or be kept in zoos. They will not be roaming about in fields like the ********** will want to believe.

They are too large for 99% of households to keep as pets and unlike chickens, cows, goats, sheep etc offer absolutely nothing but their meat.

Have you seen Okja ?

 

[Psycho Sonny]

This exactly. Farming animals is currently under the microscope of modern scrutiny but the ultimate outcome is billions of animals will simply cease to exist if humanity decides it's unethical.

Animal cruelty solved by eradicating the animal from existing ... Win I guess.
Then we will move onto humans.....

Are you really this dumb or do you not understand that no longer breeding animals for food doesn't mean no more animals?

For example we don't eat lions or giraffes. Yet they are still not extinct. Can you please explain your logic?

It's okay in a few generations time scientists will investigate why large proportions of the population have iron deficiencies and lead it back to the totally silly 21st century.

Not just iron either.

The animals we breed for meat have been bred to be this way for 1000s of years, they are not wild animals. If we stopped farming them they will vanish forever. They aren't just going to get released in to the wild lol

Are you seriously comparing the wild animals living in the plains of Africa to farm animals in England?

They wouldn't exist in this country in any meaningful numbers if people didn't eat meat/the products of these animals. The land would almost certainly be used for something else (solar farms/agriculture).

And even more gardenless shoebox houses, destroying more countryside.

Lions and Giraffes are still here due to natural selection and even that is being threatened. Pigs would more than likely get killed off. They are not like Boars which can defend themselves. It would need human intervention like Pandas to save them.
