People's perspectives on things are weird. I'm totally fine with vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters, whoever. But when someone who eats meat is excited because they think meat tastes good...... why did you think they eat it??? Obviously they think it's yummy, and obviously, to a certain degree, they see animals as a source of that. If you want to fight against that fine, but don't act surprised that it exists.

Lots of people don't really understand where meat comes from. They understand the concept that an animal has to die, but they prefer their meat comming out of a plastic package.

Example: we used to raise our own animals, I knew every single one by name and saw them grow up. When it was time to slaughter them we brought them to the butcher, got a carcass and the fur back. Guests could help feed the animals, feel the fluffiest pillow out of treated fur and I could tell them the name of the animal we served. However, most of them (obviously all meat eaters) could not comprehend at all, how we could slaughter and process those absolutely cute things.

I prefer to know where my meat comes from. Many people prefer not to, so they can loose appetite or get upset if they see the animal before it is brought to the butcher.

Everyone should, at least once, kill something for their meal. It makes you appreciate it, even if I still buy meat from Costco, etc.

I agree, or if they can't handle it they shouldn't be eating it. Distancing yourself from the killing is just mental. If you're purchasing meat, you're causing something to be butchered. If you can't handle witnessing it/participating in it, you should reconsider eating it. The customer is still a participant who is willfully ignorant.

Bunnies are a good one. Also they're easy to breed.

The meat is a bit more "stretchy" though.
