The real beef.
I really have no problem with people eating any animal. You just have to separate the animals you have for pets and the animals you eat. Don’t mix them.
If people have a dog for eating, I have no issue with that. But if someone takes a dog that they’ve loved and played with for years and then eats it? That’s going to mess their family up.
Naaa that’s ridculous. You’ve never lived on a farm I presume. Or raised any sort of traditional libestock. We eat chickens and cows and goats we raise, the heirarchy of worth of conciousness is the issue here.
That’s not what they’re saying. Raising an animal for slaughter is not the same as raising an animal as a pet. People bond with their pets the way they bond with family members. Chickens and cows and goats might be loved right up until the day they are killed for food, but it’s expected that they will die and be eaten.
I grew up on a farm.
We had goats we named and we’re sort of pets. And we had goats that we butchered and ate. No problem.
