i don't know of any animal killed at 1/10 of their lifespan.
So i guess you tried really hard to google? A good example might be cows. Beef cattle is slaughtered on average between 1.5 to 2 years after birth and would be able to live for over 20 years. Pigs also live 15 to 20 years but are slaughtered after 6 months. So great thanks for that symbiotic relationship they can witness up to two whole seasons (provided they are one of the "lucky" ones that are raised outside). It is kinda telling how much the average consumer knows about the "products" they consume.
Veal Parm was one of my favorite meals as a kid.
That said, I am not a vegetarian today either, I have cut back on how much and what I eat though.
how long does a calf last without veterinary care and food and protection from predators and the elements?
