    It is, but most of the actual killing in like 90% of the world is done as fast and cleanly as possible. If only to keep the process as efficient as possible.

    Fun fact, if you want ethically killed meat (if such a thing can exist), the best option is actually Kosher meat. There are religious laws and such, and the easiest way to comply with them is a sort of guillotine. It’s an instant death.

    The animals of also generally better treated than most factory farm setups.

      A 90% figure that is pulled out of your ass sounds a lot less compelling when billions of animals are slaughtered for food each year. How many is too many? And the killing isn’t even the worst part.

      What about their living conditions?

      “Yeah, they spent their entire lives packed like sardines sitting in their own shit because they’re too fat to stand and never see the light of day. But at least they were killed humanely!”

      The cognitive dissonance among meat-eaters is worse than that of conservatives. You people are a shining example of how ‘rational’ thinkers will become irrational at the drop of a hat if that’s what their peers are doing.

      Autonomy just isn’t a valuable trait these days. We pride ourselves on being stupid and ignorant if that’s what makes us fit in. Then we get mad at anyone who calls it out, lol. Useful idiots are the norm.

        The way you communicate your point is as important and the message itself. I stopped eating meat myself many years ago and really despise the meat industry, but unless we stop attacking meat eater and find a better way to communicate our ethical, environmental and health concerns we will not be able to change anybody’s behavior.

          Sorry, people don’t want to change unless they have to. My goal also isn’t to get people to change. Simply exposing them to the knowledge that they’re delusional hypocrites is enough for me.

          Trying to change people is usually an act in futility. You’ll understand when you’re older.
