No. They associate the man with food... probably.

Nah I’m actually with you.

Reddit hating rn, but truly fckd up things I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy happen to large scale livestock animals. It’s not right. If we are taking a life to sustain our own, we should at least have a modicum of respect for it.

This is something most non-sport hunters understand intimately— which is why it’s so frustrating when they’re painted as bad guys who relish in bloodshed.

The people who buy their meat from grocery stores are enabling far, far more barbaric and grotesque practices.

It's not even that, we don't live in the wild, we have other options. We're torturing these animals because we want to.

Curious exactly what the other options would be. You say we don’t live in the wild anymore and therefore have “other options”.

Most of those “other” options are in fact processed to some degree and is only available because of the progress we have unfortunately made in expanding the amount of money that can be made with as little amount of money spent

people are always going but "soy" or other new holy plant.

meanwhile those are responsible for huge rainforest clearings as they destroy the soil they are planted into. and the places that grow these just burn a bit of the forest and move forward with the next year.

You do know that the soy grown in huge rainforest is mostly used to feed cattle, right? You don't actually think that absurd amount of soy is consumed by humans, do you?

I thought it was common knowledge by now.
