I would feel a lot better about it if we treated cattle with existential respect while they gather for our consumption.
But capitalism does not do that to humans so hoping for mad cow respect in the US is about largely remembering about the fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle.
Just go buy your meat directly from a farmer that only raises a few each year and that lets the cows roam free, it's not impossible to buy meat that's much more ethical, you just have to accept the price that comes with it.
It tastes good and I don't eat it everyday and I try to eat quality meat as much as possible, give me a break.
Taste
I'm not saying it has variety but that the taste of it is great
it's ethical because they name them before slitting their throats 🥰
No, but it is better since the animals get some quality life before we slit their throats.
I hope you eat them afterward. That would be so wasteful if you didn't.
"have a little priest."
That's not what I said, but whatever 🤷
you can just stop eating meat lol
some people might be able to.
And what does this existential respect look like?
Having a bit more joy in life and living a day longer in a cage which is one squaremeter larger until they get slaughtered?
Still no freedom and an unnaturally early end of life.
