B: Pet pigs are awesome
TjaAnd delicious!
Only if you neutered them very young. Removal of the testicles reduces the potential for odor and taint associated with male hormones in boars after puberty. If you didn’t do this to your pet pig, you are going to regret it when you cook it.
The fact that people are so insulated from the suffering of the animals they eat is part of the problem
tsonfeirWell, I’m all for cultured meat products… but Florida’s House Bill 435 wants to snub progress.
I‘m happy to know every farmer I buy meat from, and also how they are kept and treated (way better than these requires). I could even pet or buy any animal I want from them. Further, I’m happy that my county‘s laws are as strict as they are.
I know locally sourced is much better for the environment, but when talking about empathy for the animals, I don’t think getting to pet them before they die really cuts it.
oce 🐆Unless you have very sharp nails.
Seeing suffering doesn’t result in more empathy, it results in psychological damage and often in less empathy - losing empathy is a coping mechanism.
More like par of the “solution”, created and upheld intentionally by the meat&dairy industry, infl. happy pictures of cows on an open field in the sunshine. I eat meat, but I would be stupid argue that vegans aren’t right. The suffering and cruelty we are causing animals (and the related pollution to the planet) is unacceptable.
