count me in as an idiot.

My problem isn't with killing, its with torture, mistreatement, etc

Keeping animals in absolutely humane conditions and then killing them. Fine. Killing has always been part of living. It is for us, it is for carnivorous animals, i can deal with that.

The problem of course is that if you're going for mass production, realistically that's not really possible to do this in completely ethical and humane conditions. I'm sure i'd find the conditions in ethical farms lacking even. So this is why i'd just rather altogether forget about it. But technically its not the murder i have a problem with, its everything leading up to it.

I think basically the only time where eating meat/dairy/eggs was done in the best ethical and humane conditions was when people raised cattle, chickens etc for their own person needs. When you're trying to have farms that raises and kills hundreds (or produces hundreds of liters of milk or thousands of eggs) a day, it can't possibly be done humanely i don't think or at least, the risk is too high that its not being done properly.

can we not have the full meat is murder argument and just focus on "fuck you vixnix for posting those pictures"

[Cool As Ice Cream]

fuck you vixnix for posting those pictures

[The exploding boy]

Eh, anything that can sensibilize anyone to those type of issues is fine by me. Even if done obnoxiously.

I'm pretty sure if you ask people "hey would you like to see what they do to ducks and geese in the process of preparing them for foie gras?" The vast majority would say no thanks.

you think the cows and chickens that makeup the beef and chicken you eat are cuddled to death?

I sense an underlying current of hostility towards vixnix on this forum. It's just a feeling though.

I don't know why Boston never had a record called Cream Donut. seems like a missed opportunity.

and now we're back on food.

I cooked the turkey for my family's thanksgiving last year. I didn't anticipate how stressful it would be. I guess since it's the "star" of the dinner or whatever. I made a brine for it and let it sit in it overnight. Everyone said it turned out moist and good. Im not sure it was worth the trouble, though.

My beautiful brine (not mine really, pioneer woman's. again.) The house smelled nice.

farms in NZ are almost all pasture because the annual rainfall supports that, and we eat a lot of sheep, that are well suited to the climate and terrain. They wouldn't enjoy being cuddled except by their mothers and they're free to do that until they're separated which is a horrible day to see them all, crying out for each other. but they get over it - they're not that bright.

Cows are a bit different though. And chickens....have you ever had chickens? We kept them for a while and they were pretty easy - better as egg producers than as meat. Same with cows - better as milk producers than meat producers, as far as returns go - but only in small scale quantities...intensive dairy farming creates a lot of pollution. In my opinion. A lot of egg producers down this way are switched over to free range practices to keep up with market demand, though it's far cheaper and easier just to get your own chickens IMO.

I get the feeling a lot of people here have not spent a lot of time on actual farms or butchery units to get up close and personal with what they're eating. They just pick it up at the supermarket and get the rage whenever somebody tries to educate them a little. calm down already!!
