Unlike the poster above, I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong in theory to eat meat. It’s just how blatantly violent and inhumane the industry currently is, with minimal laws and even less actual oversight that I find abhorrent. Sure it might be better to be vegan to avoid just the possibility of contributing to animal abuse, but I have other issues to balance. So instead I try to find local eggs and other alternatives that are less likely to involve abuse.
We need regulations and inspections to make sure these companies don’t do animal abuse. Also, we must bring externalities into the pricing of said meat and remove every subsidies. I don’t mind people eating meat. I just want the cost to be the real cost while reducing animal abuse to the minimum. We know how, there’s no reason to continue what we do now. Currently, the profit motive is too high.
