ParanoidObsessive 05/28/17 4:26:57 PM #15:	Revelation34 posted... No, vegetarians. "treatment before the slaughter" You don't slaughter animals you want to get their non meat products from. You still slaughter them for leather, gelatin, bone meal, certain types of insulin, etc, so you're still losing a ton of things from that alone. In addition, people who are actually concerned about "treatment before the slaughter" are probably also going to be worried about "treatment before you harvest milk, eggs, etc" for exactly the same reasons. It's still inhumane regardless. If anything, it might be more inhumane, if only because animals raised for slaughter are usually kept in somewhat acceptable condition (they need to be to keep the meat usable) and then killed in relatively short order, whereas animals being harvested are usually kept in far worse conditions (because it doesn't matter as long as they keep producing milk or eggs), effectively violated on a regular basis for their entire lives, and then, once past a useful age, get killed off and used for lesser products. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:879972414] in Do you thi...

Because we've conditioned them for thousands of years to be companion animals, and we've spent just as long raising livestock specifically for slaughter. You're thinking of our cultural values, not theirs. Also, you're underestimating the emotional connection to livestock animals since some did serve in companion roles. It wasn't uncommon for farmers to name the animals they later slaughtered for meat. Zareth posted... Donkeys, camels and horses were conditioned by man for transportation. Pigs were conditioned to be raised for food. Penguins, seals, snakes, rhinos, and rabbits weren't. Snakes and rabbits are both used for pets and for food within many of the same cultures.

Also, you're underestimating the emotional connection to livestock animals since some did serve in companion roles. It wasn't uncommon for farmers to name the animals they later slaughtered for meat. <cite>Zareth posted...</cite> <quote>Donkeys, camels and horses were conditioned by man for transportation.
