Okay, real talk, I don’t really care what they do to the animals after they’re dead, as long as it’s hygienic.
The real problem is how they are treated during their lives, and how they’re killed. There are farms ranging from pretty bad to “absolutely horrible hellish shit you wouldn’t believe” bad.
Okay, real talk, the concept of ethics in general is a human construct. One that is impossible to apply across all cultures, and even when they are accepted as social mores, they are illogically applied and are often full of internal contradictions.
For example, if it’s unethical to “kill someone who’s done nothing to you and didn’t want to die.”, then can we assume it’s ethical to kill something that has slighted us? Or is it okay to kill something that isn’t conscious of it’s mortality?
How do we determine if something doesn’t want to die? How do we delineate the difference between something like zooplankton or krill from plants?
I don’t really eat meat, but that’s mostly for health and environmental harm reduction. However, I understand that humans are imperfect beings, and have different social mores to adhere too. Out of all the evil man has unleashed over our evolution, I would hardly say that consuming animal products is anywhere close to the top of the list.
Plus, I think the way the west classifies veganism is a bit culturally insensitive. Different cultures subscribe to different interpretations of attributes when defining traits to life forms than in the west.
For example, there are Buddhist monks in Korea that eat a “vegan diet”, except their kimchi is made with krill. Now if you ask if they eat meat or animals, they will tell you no. However, culturally krill aren’t really considered an animal, they’re viewed more as a plant.
I would hardly call a person who’s spent their entire lives living off of plants a carnist or “bloodmouth”, just because they eat a little krill. But, I would like to hear your opinion on the matter.
Even a wounded animal is going to respond physically to the sound of a saw. Then you have to consider what will happen when the half dead body of a 900lb pig is placed on a cold steel plate and slowly pushed into a sharp fast moving band saw. A half alive pig would take a few people to hold it down and get the job done.
If you go ass first, damn things would probably kick and scream for a good 5 minutes before it would succumb to the injuries. Would be better to go head first really.
On second thought, for the health of the consumer, the food meat animal would need to be gutted before it was cut on the band saw. Yeah, gutting a half living meat sack would be much harder than a dead one. Very awkward. Maybe if it were dead enough it might even live for an extra few minutes. One might say that would be an advantage over being killed instantly with a bolt to the skull. You had a few more minutes of life, no matter how painful they might have been.
Paralysed maybe, not able to move our scream. A soft gloved hand stroking the skin. A cold, sharp pinch as a gutting knife quickly penetrates your body. Just a few more seconds now. The blade expertly guided up the abdomen. The flow of warm blood flowing over the legs. A sudden feeling of coldness as the blood drains, one last breath taken. Never exhaled.
Well, if you want your food to make you feel like a good person, you know what to do. Or you can keep repressing your feelings about food. Your choice.
Anyone who pays for animals to be killed for their pleasure is an animal abuser and a piece of shit.
What if I don’t enjoy it but still pay for it anyway?
Well that’s just senseless violence
Okay, but why would you do that? If you don’t like it, don’t put it in your face.
oh yeah, tell me how disgusting I am for eating a poor little piggy 😳
The pig was likely gassed or shot to death. Its body was then cut in half with a large saw, then hung on a conveyor to be dismembered.

Okay, real talk, there’s no ethical way to kill someone who’s done nothing to you and didn’t want to die.
We should therefore be farming boomers instead. Gimme those daddy steaks

Good thing a pig isn’t someone.
I agree, but we don’t like to use pig as a slang term for police here. Do better.
Fuck, I’ve called cops pigs, I don’t get your point.
Are you saying pigs should have guns or that we should eat cops. I’m honestly down for either.
I know you don’t get it hun, that’s okay. You can ask your mom to explain it to you when you’re older.
Why?
Because pig is not person…
Why does a pig have no right not to be harmed?
Thank God it’s shot to death, it would be really awkward if it was just wounded
Tell me more why that would be awkward.

BRB! My bacon is ready.
Wait come back, I’d almost finished
You’re filthy. A worm! You horrid little slut
Thank you sir may I have another!
Oh, don’t tease me, I need more
please don’t slutshame.
…or wormshame.
I might just buy hamburger tonight to spite you now lol
Wow you showed him epic style
Okay cool, have fun abusing animals out of spite. I hope you’re still able to think of yourself as a good person
They will and they will, most likely.
Okay cool, I’m specifically going to have lamb for lunch right now, because not only is it meat, but it’s baby meat.
This is what vegans winning looks like.
Cool, have fun eating dead baby.
I’m going to feed my cat meat that I purchased at the grocery store! And share some with her!
I did! and it was delicious, because I covered the flesh with butter from its mother!
I’m sure it made you feel like a good person
why the fuck would I care about that? it’s food. it made me feel sated and happy.
also: seasoned with vegan tears.
Well, if you want your food to make you feel like a good person, you know what to do. Or you can keep repressing your feelings about food. Your choice.
so… the majority of people? or specifically people in meat processing?
No way this guy is not a shill from big meat
