but on the other hand anglos literally bred pit bulls to tear cattle apart while they were still alive (and it was actually illegal to slaughter cows in england using normal methods)

I'm not saying pitbulls necessarily are genetically like that but I wouldn't be surprised.

But regardless, let us appreciate the fact that 1800s era brits thought that the only appropriate way to consume beef was by slaughtering it with a dog ripping it's muscle off its back while tied to a pole. Even being killed by a pack of wolves or a lion would be more humane lol
