Temple Grandin said something similar. “You don’t see them in zoos or in the wild. Let’s at least kill them humanely to eat them.”
I was paraphrasing. Either way if you haven’t seen the film on her life find it and watch it. So ducking good. If you don’t know her she 1/2
had autism. Went on to do great things in the world of animal husbandry. She’s a brilliant woman.

My dad owns a dairy farm and whenever they get old, straight to butcher. Not making milk? Straight to the butcher!

Yes, but old dairy cows don’t have much useable meat on them. Probably they’d be used for pet food, broth, or some other by product.

2/2 also they keep many more of the female Angus for breeding. That's the main breed for beef.
Beef cattle and dairy cattle are different. Most beef cattle are Angus, and they cull steers at 2 years because it gets tough otherwise 1/2

That's the same for cows. Mad cow disease is a prion disease. Just don't eat infected humans. Problem solved.

D1RTNAP
Just because there are alternatives doesn't make those alternatives desirable. Cows are food. As are pigs and chickens and any other animals
In my view, responsibility > desire.
Team human.
Animal products are drastically better for the planet long term than most alternatives. Even limiting the considerations to food, optimal
farming would still involve large quantities of meat products, as livestock, esp. cows, can efficiently digest low energy density plants

FrustratedOrigamiNovice
Exactly! “She wanted to live!” Most cattle only get to be born because of the beef/dairy industry. I don’t see having a pet cow catching on.
What do animal rights activists think would happen to the majority of cattle if people suddenly stopped eating beef/dairy?
Warune
Many of them know the population would be devastated but the few who survive would be free so that's okay.
There would be no survivors, all modern cattle are entirely domesticated species, they cannot survive at all without human intervention

kuba913
Soo this food should go to waste?
Is that an argument ? Do you really think everyone will just stop eating meat at the exact same time ?
Isaypoopythingsbecausemostofyouannoyme
The argument is basically if you don’t eat this one, it’s wasted, however it’s one less profit for the meat production down the line
TheDroidLukeAlmostBought
this is why meat industry arguments frustrate me. people just need to slow their rolls on meat consumption. i’m not saying don’t eat it at..
all, because that’s unrealistic. but eating it less..? isn’t that a manageable goal? the meat industry is destroying our environment..
at the rate it’s going. we eat more meat than our environments can sustain, and probably more than we need to eat too.

Temple Grandin said something similar. “You don’t see them in zoos or in the wild. Let’s at least kill them humanely to eat them.”

They'd be everywhere if we didn't eat them. In the library and everything.

They're big lumbering stupid things. What people really wanted were squirrels, but they're too quick
AurikNecal
Nope, if we didn't use them at all they'd go nearly extinct. Useful animals have high populations. Useless ones are dwindling
gtotherizzle
They rarely use cows for meat, Steers yes but rarely cows
sevrono
I've never really thought about it, and that blew my mind a little
jim282
Sure they do. Any idea what mcd's uses in their burgers? Old milk cows. I used to work in the meat industry.
treyryan3
Can of worms. You will get 99/100 people arguing that all steak come from dairy cows and only restaurants get steer meat and other nonsense
mxrider
My dad owns a dairy farm and whenever they get old, straight to butcher. Not making milk? Straight to the butcher!
LopsidedDot7
Yes, but old dairy cows don’t have much useable meat on them. Probably they’d be used for pet food, broth, or some other by product.

You under cook fish? Believe it or not, butcher

Obscure. I like that.

Sure they do. Not all females are good for dairy.
MinnesotaPeach
2/2 also they keep many more of the female Angus for breeding. That's the main breed for beef.
MinnesotaPeach
Beef cattle and dairy cattle are different. Most beef cattle are Angus, and they cull steers at 2 years because it gets tough otherwise 1/2

Females usually end up in hotdogs or Big Macs. The meat doesnt have the same taste and "quality" the males do.

My co-worker has slaughter cows with names. Makes me a little sad, but then I think of cheese burgers.

Yeah, it wasn't really named Chloe... That said I grew up on a hobby farm and we did eat Charlie :)
Titsonthewing
I bottle raised an abandoned steer. His name was "bubba". When he was 1200lbs. We sent him to a butcher, and picked up frozen wrapped, Bubs.
SpaceCoyote300
In death members of project mayhem have a name. Her name was Chloe Cow

We raised cows for meat when I was growing up. Typical names were Steer, Cow, Steak, or Beef.

But I find it sad you have to insult them just because...well, why actually?
ScrotumPoIe
Because this argument is dumb. I can't eat a cow because it's name was Chloe? Fuck that. How about bringing up real points like meat farming

Taking that to it's logical conclusion just results in the extinction of cows. I suppose whether or not that is better depends on your views

The demand is extremely high for dead cows because they are made of delicious meat.

No it wouldn't. They key to any meal is proper preparation. If you can eat pork without getting ill, you can eat human.

I'll acknowledge this as real and possible, but I say it just weeds out the weak. MEAT IS GOOD.
kirbstomp154
Fucking educate yourself before posting shit. Don’t eat human meat.

Do you seriously think I'm going out of my way to eat it before the collapse of society's infrastructure?
zimirken
Yes you do, some prion diseases are resistant to even autoclaving. Most old people have some prions. Also autoimmune responses.
PaulVolckerWithLipstick
That's the same for cows. Mad cow disease is a prion disease. Just don't eat infected humans. Problem solved.
Mamaof2QTs
I literally think this when I don’t feel like cooking. If I let the meat go to waste that animal died in vain because I’m being lazy.

Also cows are made of food and clothing items.

Just because there are alternatives doesn't make those alternatives desirable. Cows are food. As are pigs and chickens and any other animals
Baguette2000
In my view, responsibility > desire.
D1RTNAP
Team human.
omh2
Animal products are drastically better for the planet long term than most alternatives. Even limiting the considerations to food, optimal
omh2
farming would still involve large quantities of meat products, as livestock, esp. cows, can efficiently digest low energy density plants

i really wish vegans would switch their efforts to animal rights. I'm fine with supporting animal farming but some of the conditions...

I think they meant like beyyet treatment if the animals while alive. Some of those "farms" can be pretty rough
crawlspace
specifically focusing on the "i really wish vegans would switch their efforts to animal rights" bit
FrustratedOrigamiNovice
Exactly! “She wanted to live!” Most cattle only get to be born because of the beef/dairy industry. I don’t see having a pet cow catching on.
FrustratedOrigamiNovice
What do animal rights activists think would happen to the majority of cattle if people suddenly stopped eating beef/dairy?
Warune
Many of them know the population would be devastated but the few who survive would be free so that's okay.
omh2
There would be no survivors, all modern cattle are entirely domesticated species, they cannot survive at all without human intervention

Booskis
But like now I see her face . Her face her face her face her cute face her brown little cow eyes desperate . Why why they do that?
ABluntForce
To be fair, taking it off the shelf and buying it, not eating it, is what prompts the industry to resupply with more. tl;dr steal burgers.
espo2323
I'm also guessing they don't name every cow...
HiImMrMeeseeks

BrettKavanaughDidNothingWrong
While they can be delicious and sometimes even fun (psychedelic ones), mushrooms carry virtually no nutritional value whatsoever.
JayTheStranger
Plenty of wildlife eat mushrooms as a means to survival. It's called the circle of life. We eat them. They eat other things.
kuba913
Soo this food should go to waste?
Baguette2000
Is that an argument ? Do you really think everyone will just stop eating meat at the exact same time ?
Isaypoopythingsbecausemostofyouannoyme
The argument is basically if you don’t eat this one, it’s wasted, however it’s one less profit for the meat production down the line
TheDroidLukeAlmostBought
this is why meat industry arguments frustrate me. people just need to slow their rolls on meat consumption. i’m not saying don’t eat it at..
TheDroidLukeAlmostBought
all, because that’s unrealistic. but eating it less..? isn’t that a manageable goal? the meat industry is destroying our environment..
TheDroidLukeAlmostBought
at the rate it’s going. we eat more meat than our environments can sustain, and probably more than we need to eat too.
Howdoyoupronouncethiswebsitesname
