I can excuse institutional ecocide and mass murder, but I draw the line at hypocrisy

I went to school to be a butcher, originally. I actually know how to break down a whole beef into primals, then, i can passingly get primals broken down into finish cuts. Ive done that in the past several times. Chickens too, from live to its final nugget form.

I agree fully, if youre going to eat it, you should be able to stomach the task.

Im also a vegetarian, so make of that what you will.

I’ve known omnivores that couldn’t field dress a dear they shot… They took it to a processer.

My wife has never shot a deer in her life, but she’s skinned and butchered a few her dad brought down during hunting season. Genuinely kinda terrifying to watch her work.

She does have a cousin that lives out in Victoria and herds cattle as a big part of her family income. They do the whole job, from bottle feeding the calves to BBQing the brisket.

Sounds like she knows the amount of work that goes into putting a piece of meat on a plate.

While I’m glad they aren’t owned by Tyson. It’s still exploding a living being for capitol. I’m sure they have a great early life I doubt the amount of shear terror they are put through justifies a life worth living.

Where im From, beef is big business. I have several friends who are mulit generation farmers and ranchers. Ive helped birth cows, then helped slaughter and process them when the time has come. My former best friend is still a USDA certified mobile beef processor. I was his assistant when i was going thru school.

It sure as fuck isnt for everyone. I guarantee if everyone could only eat what they processed personally, r/steak would not exist.

I mentioned it elsewhere in this thread, I got a friend of mine that went hunting with me to go vegetarian after getting to the dressing part. I don’t think most people can handle seeing it up close

Most dudes i know (im from texas, home of the manly man) will do the bare minimum to prevent spoilage, but nothing beyond that. Hell, most of the guys i know go to ‘caged hunts’. with on site processing. It a hunt on a game ranch. game ranches have fences high enough that Nilgai, mule deer, whitetail and the like cannot get over.

You sleep in a lodge, someone makes your breakfast, feeds you, drives you to a blind or stand on their property, and lets you go. Some provide guns and ammunition.

After you shoot Bambi, they take the carcass, dress it, process it, and you get back some steaks and some 2lb chubbs of ground meat. Then you go back to the lodge, brag about what a stud you are, drink tequila, and let someone else cook dinner for you.

There are schools specifically for butchers?

breaking a carcass down into the relevant muscle groups is not a trivial task

I’d imagine it’s a little similar to being a massage therapist or osteopath or something, tons of anatomical knowledge (but only muscle and bone)

Id eat my cat if it was legal and for some reason i felt like it. Hes nice but he is but a cat.

Hes more valuable to me as a “friend” rather than food but if circumstances change then its the law getting in the way of what i should be free to do. This is part of why i think there idealy shouldnt be a state.

Vegan struggle sessions are like Hexbear Highlander. Eventually there will only be vegans left because each one some of the carnists get deleted from the Internet, but then they’ll argue about some semantic difference between various types of veganism, until the only Hexbears that are left are Jains. I don’t think they’ll fight each other off though all that Jains I’ve ever known were the chillest.

So I guess the end state of Hexbear is Jainbear. Which sounds neat probably

I’ve always found it interesting that hexbear line is that it is alright to kill the Tsars kids, but not alright to eat them.

That’s not the line. Of course you can eat the Tsars kids. We are fine with eating the rich. You just can’t eat the Tsars pets

basically if you eat meat and don’t commit to doing the psycho zuckerberg thing of cutting up a deer you murdered live on camera you’re a coward (unironically)
