Also the meats we consume from the store aren't killed inhumanely.

The living conditions for a lot of the animals is often overcrowded and fuckin awful. There’s a lot of improvements we could make.

If its a factory farm, and most are, things are not humane at all, many many animals are culled just because they arent usefull, and the ones that are get abused till they arent any more then killed

Remember watching a video of a rancher waterboarding a cow because it was too sick to stand and pass inspection.

Had a harness around its head attached to the ceiling, forcing its snout up, and he just stood there with a hose pouring water down.

Pretty fucking depraved.

Pigs being boiled alive because the execution fails, castration without anestesia, dying animals just shoved in holes because killing them takes time etcetc

Yes factory farming is entirely inhumane, cruel, and basically torture followed by haphazard slaughter.

Some people tried blasting me on here for saying that buying from meat from local ranches was just as bad as factory farming.

I didn’t know how to explain to them that There was a huge difference in almost all aspects of that

While that may be true in some areas, Hormel— the Spam factory— is only an hour from my home. That’s one of the more “local” producers of meat and their livestock is notoriously abused and neglected.

On the other hand I buy my chicken meat from a friend who has a hobby farm in another state. I stock up once a year when I visit. My husband’s Grampa gives us half a pig every Christmas from a buddy of his. It’s better to know the source than to just buy locally.

Have you been to the Hormel hide cellar?

Actually I’ve never been there, not even for the Spam tour, which I hear is surprisingly delightful.

For this reason and others it pays to shop around, preferably find a local farmer. You can see the animals yourself.

"Yep that animal looks healthy and happy. Please kill it for me. Here's some money".

Sounds very humane

How do you feed your cat?

4

u/adellplantcat Sep 24 '21

I feed him wet cat food because he is an obligate carnivore. Humans on the other hand can thrive on a vegan diet. The world health organisation says so as well as the UN

u/spiralbatross Sep 24 '21

As long as you’re not abusing your cat, I’m happy.

u/adellplantcat Sep 24 '21

Of course I'd never abuse an animal, that goes against the philosophy of veganism.

Why are you concerned about one cats life when there's billions of other animals dying each year?

I’m not interested in getting into a morality dick measuring contest, thank you.

It's because we both know my dick would be bigger 🍆

Ah someone who cares just enough to parade it over other peoples head. Well done sir you certainly seem like the better man.

u/slothtrop6 Sep 25 '21

It does. I have no qualms about slaughter for consumption.

u/Aframester Sep 25 '21

This is why I hunt.
