I would feel a lot better about it if we treated cattle with existential respect while they gather for our consumption.

But capitalism does not do that to humans so hoping for mad cow respect in the US is about largely remembering about the fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle.

Just go buy your meat directly from a farmer that only raises a few each year and that lets the cows roam free, it's not impossible to buy meat that's much more ethical, you just have to accept the price that comes with it.

You can just stop eating meat though. Like what’s the point of continuing?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (20 children)

It tastes good and I don't eat it everyday and I try to eat quality meat as much as possible, give me a break.

While this is subjective I’ve found much more variety of flavor after going vegan

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago

I'm not saying it has variety but that the taste of it is great

it's ethical because they name them before slitting their throats 🥰

[–] deus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, but it is better since the animals get some quality life before we slit their throats.

[–] railsdev@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah sometimes I murder people but it’s okay because I treat them pretty darn well before doing so.

I hope you eat them afterward. That would be so wasteful if you didn't.

And what does this existential respect look like?

Having a bit more joy in life and living a day longer in a cage which is one squaremeter larger until they get slaughtered?

Still no freedom and an unnaturally early end of life.
