Offensive: Why Should I Care How The Animals Are Raised or Kept?!


Question: Offensive: Why Should I Care How The Animals Are Raised or Kept!?
Why I should I care, I mean, in the end the animal is going to be consumed, so why feel so sad how they are kept if they are just going to be eaten!. There ultimate destiny is to end up on a plate, why should it matter how they are kept unless, it effect the animals flesh or tastes!.

So why should I be concerned about the animals captive state!?

I do care about animals, mainly cats, arachnids and reptiles!. I'm against cruelty to animals and what not!. So why worry about a dinner plate animals!?

I'm trying to understand the otherside, and there views because it's just not meshing with me currently!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Why is a cat more worthy of a pain and fear free life then a cow!? It's not the cow's destiny or plan to end up as dinner, that is something we force on them!. It doesn't know why it's bein treated that way!.!.!.

And just because it is going to end up as your dinner doesn't mean it feels any less fear or pain then any other animal!.!.!.It's not just a burger or a sausage that's kept in a cage until it's ripe for you to eat!.!.!.it's a living, breathing, thinking, feeling animal!.!.!.!.

If I kept a cat in a small cage for it's entire life and then killed it to eat, would you be ok with that!? It's basically the same thing!.!.!.it's only 'purpose' was to be eaten so does it matter if I'm cruel to it!? What about if I kept a snake that way!? Or a child!?


I'm impressed that you say you're actually trying to understand the other side of the argument!. Most people who post things like this on here are just trying to make some huge point and not really open to thinking about it at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Seriously, did you write that solely to get flamed!?

A) you're going to hear that no living being should suffer
B) you're going to hear that you're so uncaring because you eat meat
C) you're going to hear how your cats, arachnids and reptiles should suffer just like the animals you eat every day because you're a wicked meat eater!.
D) Then you'll hear that YOU should suffer like the animals you eat and your cats, arachnids and reptiles should eat you!.

Oh man, you are SO begging for crazy! LOLWww@FoodAQ@Com

How would you feel if you were kept in a terrible place!? Beaten, abused and then killed!. No one would want to die like that and that includes cows, chicken and other livestock!. They are Gods creatures and yes we do have to eat, but that gives us no right to abuse in an inhumane way to the animals!. Put yourself in their shoes!. Think about the pain and suffering!. Look at vidoes on youtube and then maybe you will care!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If they were treated better, you don't know how much better they would taste!. You're eating sadness, torture, and loneliness when you eat meat!. Just because they're raised for eating doesn't mean they should be tortured their whole life!. Maybe animals should be treated better than people!. They're living to feed people!. People are living for themselves!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

hey, if you don't care, you don't care!.

no one can force you to be a compassionate being!.

i for one, am a human being with a big heart, therefore having compassion, and therefore caring!.

i purchase my meats organic and free range!. i love amish chicken!. and as an added bonus, the free range and organic meats actually taste better and are better for your health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you dot have to feel sorry or worry about the animals but some people do nonody said yuo had to feel sorry about the animals some people do it for health
if you saw how they slaughtered animals you might change your mindWww@FoodAQ@Com

You are morally schizophrenic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can not fully be against cruelty to animals if you allow, and -don't care- how other -non house pets- are treated!.

Animals raised for slaughter, dairy, or eggs are not kept or treated as living beings!. They are treated as money!.

Meat farms probably treat their animals fairly good compared to dairy and egg farms!. Most of the time meat farm animals are free ranged and fed a decent diet (unless the factory feeds them other dead animals!.!. thats utterly gross and dirty)!.
Then these animals get hurled into a tractor and brought to a dirty slaughterhouse where they must wait in line to be killed!.
-Imagine yourself waiting in line, hearing the cries of the animals before you!. It's not pleasant, but instead deeply disturbing!.

Dairy cows I feel are treated the worst!. They endur so much pain and torture!. "It doesn't hurt to milk a cow" - yes it does!. I am a woman and I know that I would not want to be 'milked' my entire life!. These dairy cows are constantly impregnated and constantly milked by machines every day for long hours!. Their babies are taken from them from birth and if they are male, either slaughtered immediately or sold to veal factories!. If they are female they are fed an alternative milk, since the milk the mother produces if for human consumption!. Then she grows up to become a dairy cow as well!.!.

As for lay hens, free range or caged!. they are kept in tiny facilities with millions of other chickens!. so close they can barely move!. once their babies (when bred to produce more lay hens) are hatched, if they are male they are discarded!. yea!. discarded not killed, or sold!. most of them just get thrown into a garbage and left there to die!. or some just get frozen and sold to feed large birds (my bio teacher keeps a hawk/falcon and feeds it newly hatched frozen baby boy chicks!.)

you don't have to care for these animals but usually a conscience cares about other living things enduring painful situations!.!.!. especially if it is just so you can eat their 'tasty' meat!.

Listen to The Smiths : Meat is Murder!. its a good song!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, in one sentence you say you care about animals and in another you say why should you feel sad for how they are kept!? You make no sense!. What is the difference between a cat, a spider, a reptile, a cow, a chicken and a pig!? Please explain that to me!. If you care about one kind of animal how can you not care about all kinds of animals!? I suggest you go watch a few videos of slaughterhouses and you would completely understand the other side!. I used to be uneducated about what went on in slaughterhouses and just ate meat like it was no big deal!. I'll tell you the day I watch a video I cried and never ate meat again!. It is completely disgusting!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually, I'm vegan, and I agree!. I think that fighting for better animal welfare is maybe a negative thing - you could spend the same time fighting for animal rights instead!.

If you make people think that it's better for a chicken to be 'happy' before you eat it, you stop them making the leap in their thinking to realising that actually it isn't OK to eat (or oppress/abuse/kill) *any* chickens!.

It's like saying it's OK to keep human slaves, because they are treated like part of the family etc!.

In some ways, maybe a depressed (i!.e!. badly treated) cow is better off in that situation - depression is designed for us to cope with difficult situations by blocking off our feelings and reactions, so perhaps it could be argued that it is crueller to cut off the life of a satsified cow early because it's enjoying life and death isn't a release from a terrible situation for them like it is for the depressed one!.

The only reason animals are kept this way is for the end result of killing and eating them - it wouldn't happen except for this!. So we should be arguing against making their life decisions for them at all, not just the ones before their death!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
