My question to everyone is: what animals are acceptable to raise and kill in a Controlled environment, simply to support human omnivorous diets? Does the fact that animals are conscious or that they feel pain become relevant? Does it make it OK to raise animals, just to kill them, if they had a "better" life ie freerange?
Of course it's better to give something a better life and then kill it, rather than a poor life of suffering. And to be completely honest, if it is slaughtered humanely, who is affected? How is that even questionable.
So a chicken that gets to chill, run around, and have "good" life is better to kill? Better to end it's good life? Better than killing the chicken that doesn't get excercise or time to run around? I would argue that the chicken that lives a poor life should be killed to put it out of his misery.
Killing any sentient being is pretty much not OK. People pretend that animals we have here in usa are somehow different, like they don't have feelings just like our pet dogs do. So yea, killing dogs for food is scummy, but so is killing pigs for food.
A chicken should never have to live a poor life, and you think being killed so it is "put out of its misery" is justifiable?? What's the problem If it lives a happy life then dies? I know that I certainly won't cry at my funeral!!!! Oh wait! I won't know cuz I'm dead!
Signed it๎ most of the arguments here are silly. When it comes down to it, no matter how you feel about it, other animals such as chickens have no chance. No amount of petitioning is going to stop it, it's too big am industry and has been going on too long. However, this is something that is causing world wide attention and has a chance to be stopped.
Let's start at home first. Go visit a humane society filled with abandoned dogs that get euthanized. China it is part of there diet but at least it doesn't go to waist. Bob barker put out a video on fosters farms not following policies on chicken slaughter. Does that stop you from eating chickens? Look it up Good day ๎
Of course they shouldn't have to have a life of suffering. But the reality is, they do. When they jam thousands of chickens into small cages, that is a terrible life. Feelings on Animal cruelty should apply to all animals, no need to get bent out of shape for the treatment of one animal, exclusively. It is not an arguement to be had about "what does the animal care, if its dead?"... The reality is science has shown that many animals are conscious, and do feel emotions. The reality is most people in the US think that killing chickens and pigs is ok, but killing dogs is not. Its silly. I bet 9/10 people would never eat meat again if they were required to raise, care for, and then one day, slit the throat of the animals they would then have to process for consumption.
Highly doubt it. There was a time when people mostly raised their own livestock and butchered it themselves. If something happened and society reverted back to that sort of setting I'm willing to bet perspective would change more than people's diets. People aren't going to go without.
Yes because making up asinine percentages like 90% is such a solid argument when history has already proven you wrong.
I wish I had the ability to post pics here. It's not about the eating of a meat source. Please, as I have asked before, do some research on this. They don't raise these animals for this purpose. Many are strays. Ok fine. Many are stolen pets too. Do they send them to slaughter houses? No. They torture these animals in the streets, burn them or boil them ALIVE and are laughing about it while doing so. Go take a look. If anyone can post pictures please help me out. Google Yulin Meat Festival.
Queen, I agree and I agree. I know how to post pics, but I will not post them here. Its a 9 + game. However, as I said in my earlier post, go google it. See the photos. See the one where they are placing a live dog in boiling water, or the one where they are using a blowtorch to defur another LIVE dog... then come back and troll, you heartless bastards. Edit. Person of illegitimate birth...
Why don't you just get all of the dogs and cats out of the street before the festival happen?..............
