Same here. I'm not some heartless bastard, but it's not as if people are stealing someones livestock and shooting them then selling them on some seedy black market for meat.Simple really. I care about animal welfare but I'm not against chowing down on a juicy steak.
That's exactly how I see things. We are at the top of the food chain and have always eaten anything under us.Farm animals are bred for food. If they were intelligent enough then I wouldn't eat them. As they are dumb as a Penriff Panther then I'll happily eat them. But I'm against inhumane suffering. That's why I won't support any animal farming that puts the animals in unnecessary pain.
Vegans seem to get awefully confused about pets vs produce. Sure you wouldn't kill a pet and eat it, because you never bought it with that intention. However cattle, lambs, pigs, chickens, etc are all bred by farmers for human consumption. They aren't treated as pets, and they have relatively short lifespans.
When they are killed in an abattoir vegans seem to think they get stabbed 50 times with a rusty spoon and are left to bleed out. That's not the case. Animals are stunned and dead within seconds. There is no suffering, there is no agony.
Just like if a human has a massive stroke or heart attack.
These activists points therefore are null and void. They simply want to force their beliefs and lifestyles onto others.
That's a different subject alltogether. I'm very mixed on it. Grandfather had terminal cancer and was given 6 months. If euthanasia was available we'd have had him for < 6 months. Instead he battled on with cancer for another 3 years before eventually his heart valves gave out. But that extra time with him we were able to create so many good memories with him.It's also why I support euthanasia. I don't think anyone or anything should be forced to suffer.
