If certain animals are destined for certain death anyways, does it really matter if they feel pain or not?!
I mean as long as the meat is delicious and sanitary, does it really matter how the animals are dying?
(I know that it sounds kind of cold and harsh but I think this is the reality in objective point of view)
Answers: Isn't it the truth that in a consumer's perspective that we don't really care whether the animal went through grief or pleasure during their death.

will you and i feel pain at our deaths? do vegetables feel pain? at what point do you draw the line? do we starve ourselves for the sake of a chickens life?
Sounds pretty selfish and f*cked if you ask me.
I guess as long as starving children die by the millions in other countries, it's fine as long as we don't have to see it every day.
As long as we can get cheap clothes at Walmart and Old Navy, we shouldn't care about abused child laborers.
Right?
Who decides who/what's "destined"? That's dependent on the individual's beliefs.
But yes, it's true. Most of you don't care about anything beyond the taste of your food.
Well, we're all destined for death. It's a certainty. Does that mean we don't care if anyone feels pain, or experiences cruelty? Objectively, and entirely without emotion, there are a lot of things we could justify. Any disaster that happened outside of our own community could be ignored, as putting out the effort to help them would deplete our resources.
But we don't do that. Part of what makes us human is our ability to empathize and to seek the best life possible for ourselves and others.
Doesn't matter if they suffer? When you die would you like to die an agonizing death?
NO, not at all....we are ALL 'destined for certain death', and but less pain endured in any life, the better.
A lot of people do think like that, a lot of people don't care.
BUT I believe that animals are not on this earth for us to abuse. Saying that it doesn't matter if they feel pain or not, is like not giving a cancer patient pain medication and saying, "oh well, they're just going to die anyway." No one actually says that, and I don't understand why some people have no heart for animals. We're all interconnected and all part of the same cycle--there's no point in ignoring that.
If you're going to kill them, at least do it humanely. It's not too much to ask. In fact, it's asking very little.
You yourself are destined for certain death (maybe not soon, but someday.) By your logic, I should be able to inflict untold suffering upon you if I choose to. You're going to die anyway, right? I think you are, in fact, cold and harsh. Those of us who choose not to eat meat often do so not only because we don't want animals killed for us, but because we don't want animals suffering for us. Your attitude makes me really sad.
In the past, lot of black humans peoples were slaves for white humans peoples. Lot of them borned as slave. They were "destined" to be slave.
Is this justify to kill them or to hurt them?
Certainely not!!!!!
In fact the question is more: how can we justify to have other sensitives beings reducted in slave for our own-use?
In my point of view, this is a crime. We did it with humans beings before (and certainely still have slave in certain part of this planet), and today we continue to do the same with other animals. When will we change? Barbary must be over.
Actually, I think it does make a difference. 1. Every living thing on this earth is destined for death, does that mean I can torture you while you are dying? No, don't think so. The use of their bodies after they die doesn't make the way they are treated before they die justifiable or right. 2. All kinds of things are released into a body that is frightened and in pain, I would think that that has some effect on the quality of the meat. Actually, I know it does. I've tasted game meat before from animals that had a quick death and animals that didn't have a quick death, there is a definite difference in the texture and taste.
To say that it dosen't matter what the animals go through just so you get that good tasting meat is very selfish of you. This consumer cares about what the animals are going through. The meat isn't very sanitary by the way. I have seen many images of animals in the factory farms and in the vivesection labs, I am able to see that a lot of them are severly depressed, and it literally makes me feel very depressed. I guess some people just aren't able to see that this is all so very wrong to do to the animals, all for a good taste. It is sickening.
