Well, it's not the slaughtering part that really bugs me.
Is that the animals live in super small spaces, anxious 100% of their lives.
I'm not as bothered by eating an animal that has been free for all it's life and had the unfortunate pleasure of being the one culled, but I do mind eating a cow that's been powerraped and milked for 5 years until exhaustion and then put to slaughter. Just tastes worse to begin with.
Same with lamb. I tried it once, but I'm pretty sure I could just taste the cruelty through and I've not had any since. Although it might be mutton shares the same taste but I'm not too bothered to find out as being allergic to cruelty sounds better than not enjoying mutton.
That's true. Putting a cow in a cage it's whole life is just cruel, I don't know who's doing it but it needs to stop if it is.
As for "if", I'm not a denier, just subtly geographically separated. I'm pretty sure we don't allow caging cows for years in Canada, but I might be wrong. If I am, count me an ally in making it stop.
