The moment you realise calves are better equipped for winter than you are.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My calves always get cold in the winter. But that's probably because I wear winter jorts

I love my winter jorts. No problem with cold when your calves are big enough to create their own weather patterns.

cows are friends, not food.

In the very least, we should be ensuring that any animal bred for consumption should be given the absolute best life possible, not crammed into spaces like sardines and forced to exist in their own shit all their lives.

they taste better when they've had a happy life

what? what are you trying to say here

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're asking for permission to commit some jolly cannibalism 🥰

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Must be one of them German cannibals...

They're trying to say this is a bs argument

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

but it is a true fact. theres a huge difference in quality between the basic slaughterhouse meat and full life lived running around and eating what they are supposed to eat meat

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For fks sake, the detachment from reality in this comment is astonishing. Would it be ok if I raised you as meat and then slaughtered you when you where 15 years old if I guarantee you that you would have a decent life in the meantime? Of course not, it would still be pretty fucked up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

its not a detachment from reality its actually completely based in reality, the statement being nothing more than quality of taste and a true fact, again completely based in reality. we all get it you think eating animals is wrong but my comment is not meant as some sort of statement on anything more than quality of food

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I have zero doubts that people would be delicious.

So what's stopping you

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Problem is good life isn't economically sustainable.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's what they are trying to make you believe. Good life is not sustainable, either for the cows or for you

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right right, as long as you don't have to do anything :)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

Nah I just don't touch animals or animal products as much as possible now. Easy

Tune in for more corporate media jokes tonight at 8 pm.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Very tasty friends.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

Moo body cared who I was until I put on the mask.

these appear to be veal crates, these are baby cows that have been taken from their mothers to feed the demand for cow's milk; a horrifically cruel practice. make 2024 the year you align your values with your purchases!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The pens on both of these (but especially the left) are far too large to be veal crates, which don’t allow calves to turn around.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Or to stand up. It’s about restricting muscle use.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Really wish people would stop spouting random bullshit.

This is so clearly not a veal crate. To be clear, I don't even eat any beef, pork, red meat in general.
