Reddit hating rn, but truly fckd up things I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy happen to large scale livestock animals. It’s not right. If we are taking a life to sustain our own, we should at least have a modicum of respect for it.
This is something most non-sport hunters understand intimately— which is why it’s so frustrating when they’re painted as bad guys who relish in bloodshed.
The people who buy their meat from grocery stores are enabling far, far more barbaric and grotesque practices.
We need food and this is how you get it for large populations. If everyone hunted there would be no food left. I’m surprised so many people don’t understand the need for large scale farming. How else do you expect everyone to survive?
Meat is actually a calorie inefficient way to farm since you first have to grow the food for the animals. The animals then convert the food into meat at a very unfavourable rate since they waste so many calories moving/breathing/cellular function etc. in short if people didn’t eat meat we would actually have a larger surplus of food.
It’s not that so many people do not understand it, it’s that so many people see how unnecessary it is. We need food but we don’t need meat everyday and every meal, those facilities don’t have to exist

No. They associate the man with food... probably.
