People are the worst. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago There's no need to "torture" cattle to get meat from them. Indeed, meat from animals that are experiencing stressful conditions tastes worse. Not to mention simply having lower productivity. A farm with happy cows is going to be more profitable than one with stressed ones, all else being equal. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago Guess you didn't get to grow up watching the discovery Channel before all their shows were about crab fishing and animal rescue. Would you rather I go rip a gazelle apart and start eating it's insides while it keeps trying to stand up with only two front legs? permalink fedilink source parent
