the animals deserve better! they are stupid but they do not deserve to be slaughter, in such unhumane way.

I am for the peace of the animal upvote if agree with me.

I would debate that animals suffer from PTSD and other mental illnesses when held in factory farms that dehumanizes them and it "makes" them stupid. If I were held in a cell and tortured with the smell of filth, blood, and death around me, i would be dehumanized real quick. Like the difference between a feral dog that is mangy and will bite you, versus a cute fluffy pet that is well taken care of, and will snuggle up for a warm nights sleep.

^This.

A humane death is nor good or bad for any animal, but suffering... we need to end that crap.

93% of all global farms are family owned medium or small sized farms. Not factory farms. And most of our meat comes from them. Source: FAO

It's an animal. A chicken doesn't even know it's being slaughtered. I slaughter chicken myself. The rest of them continue eating as if I didn't cut off a chick head a literal 60 cm from their feed.

If I cut your head off and no one is around to hear it, is it even cruel?

It is. Because I'm human, not a chicken

Edit: why does that frustrate you? Because I'm right?

Tastes pretty good though

I invite you to watch this, most powerful documentary I have ever seen, it changed me.

Man I can't wait for the development of slaughter free lab grown meat that tastes exactly like the real deal. It will be a game changer.

This is a propaganda movie no one here bothered to fact check

Tavrin t1_itbewma wrote

You can call it propaganda (since the goal is indeed to incite people to at least eat less meat) but the imagery is still real and pretty shocking/gruesome. It does an admirable job at making people discover the suffering behind the meat industry.

The problem is not that its propaganda, but that its factually incorrect and out of context.

Oh I know what they do to animals, no need to remind me. But honestly i don't really care

I've got to say, that's too bad. This subreddit is about the singularity, where we all hope that technological advancements will end suffering, poverty, food related issues, labour etc...

Can't we also hope that this future and technological advances will also end animal suffering by making it unnecessary (with the creation of fake meat that is as good or even better than real meat) ? Since we all hope that technology will make the human condition better, can't we hope the same for other species ?

It will look like and taste exactly like the real thing in less than 10 years

honestly, the only reason I haven't switched to vegetarian ""meat"" is because it's more expensive and tho the way we treat live stock is absolutely horrendous, I don't give enough of a shit to switch. (I do occasionally like a cereal patty, it changes from good ol' meat and goes well with a lot of stuff.)

but hey, if it tastes the same and is at the same price or even cheaper than natural meat, I'll switch without hesitation, I don't even care if it looks weird if the taste and texture is here.

​

I can see why some people might not like lab grown stuff, but is it really much different than animals being packed together and stuffed with anti-biotic ? (outside of the absence of unneeded suffering)

if anything, it's probably healthier to eat lab-grown meat than cheap natural meat.
