Re: tw: animal cruelty

It isn't, but most people in countries with industrialized meat production don't keep their own food animals anymore, and have lost the ability (which I'm not saying is good or bad) to distinguish between "animal I keep for companionship" and "animal I keep for dinner." Most small farms had pets and working animals that got names, and nameless ones destined for the table, which people didn't get super attached to if they could help it.

I haven't eaten meat for 20+ years, but if I step back from my cultural bias, it's actually just as sad that we westerners (and Chinese people) eat pigs. They're as smart or smarter than dogs. And I'm too squeamish but if I was really devoted to animal welfare I'd eat bugs. I don't think people who eat meat are evil, but I think factory farming is evil, and beating a live animal so it'll taste better is evil, and eating threatened or endangered species when you have other sources of food to hand is evil.

(Some people are starving, but seriously, if you're gonna eat a shark fin or a tiger penis, eat the rest of the goddamn shark or tiger. On a personal sad squick note, I'm horrified that pangolins are going extinct because they're "medicine." They're so cool, but they don't have the charismatic mammal cachet of tigers or rhinos.
