As much as I am sick of vegans being high and mighty and demanding we not eat meat when not eating meat has been scientifically proven to reduce your health due to protein starvation…
I want to cuddle a cow. We shouldn’t have to eat meat, but we do have to because we evolved to require it over 12k years ago and nature is cruel like that. At the very least ungulate livestock deserve the recognition of being alive and having feelings, even if consuming flesh is inevitable.
Also I will never eat veal or lamb. Seriously, don’t tear a calf from it’s mother if you’re hungry.
