I don't even consider it an error. -s defines plurality, -'s always defines possession. Kind of like "correct" ways to say words. I'm pronouncing whatever sounds coolest and people have a problem they can shove it 💪😤

Just in case you weren’t already aware, the apostrophe is only used for the contraction of ‘it is’, and in no other case, including possession. If you already were aware then ignore me 😁

That is why you should know about and support development of lab (cultured) meat. It is great developement.

It has the potential to reduce animal suffering, lessen the environmental impact of meat production, and provide a more sustainable food source.

Just eat seaweed and algae, it is far superior and cheaper than lab grown food and it is more nutritionally dense. Not to mention just how much more sustainable it is.

We can't even get some countries to stop doing slavery. There's no way the world is globally going vegetarian. Which is why supporting more humane and environmentally friendly options and making them economically competitive is important. Being smug about eating vegetables isn't going to save animals.

Most humans can't thrive on a vegan diet without a supliments, since we're omnivores you know?
If you're gonna suggest something, offer an actual alternative. Seaweed and algae, it is far superior and cheaper than lab grown food and it is more nutritionally dense. Not to mention just how much more sustainable it is.

If it makes you feel better, lambs are rather silly and dumb. Pigs on the other hand have the intelligence of a small child, which actually means humans are monsters

u/jackaroo1344 3d ago
When I was in high school our teacher brought in a hog farmer to talk about animal agriculture since it's one of my state's main industries. He started talking about the slaughtering process and one of the kids in my class joked about how they don't know what's coming.
The farmer assured us that pigs are highly intelligent and definitely understand what's happening to them when they're about to die :(
4
u/Presumably_Not_A_Cat 3d ago
half of the work is ensuring the pigs further down the line do not learn about what's happening upfront. Part of that is killing the pig as quickly and silently as possibly, because just one quieck will make the other pigs go mayham. Also the smell.
I used to help out on a farm. I refused to assist on slaughter days if there were more than a few pigs (or sheeps). (same with cows tbh but we shipped them out, because our facility could NOT handle that.)

u/jackaroo1344 3d ago
do not learn about what's happening upfront
Yes. That's the point. They are intelligent enough to understand what's happening and be afraid.

u/littleessi 3d ago
If it makes you feel better, lambs are rather silly and dumb
yes that's a good justification for killing
2
u/Donnerdrummel 3d ago
The justification is that they taste good. Fuck around and find out. Entirely their own fault.
2
u/caylem00 3d ago
Justification? No.
But an animal likely not knowing their imminent slaughter as they're walking into an abattoir is a small mercy.
It's not fun waiting for inevitable death, I'd argue sometimes worse than the dying itself.
(No I'm not defending the meat industry or its' practices, nor am I a rabid carnivore. I'd stop eating meat if it was medically and financially possible for me)

u/littleessi 3d ago
meat is expensive
4
u/caylem00 3d ago
Expense depends on your location.
The cost of alternatives must also be factored in. At my location, meat alternatives (inc lab meat) are more expensive than meat.
I indicated medical reasons for meat. No, I'm not explaining nor arguing. I'm following recommendations by 4 health professionals to eat meat.
3
u/littleessi 3d ago
meat alternatives are things like legumes, rice, vegetables etc. you dont have to replace things 1:1 to get enough nutrients, they're different diets and will be formed differently. i'm not trying to argue about your medical reasons which is why i didnt bring it up.

Similar here, I don't eat any animal that doesn't go out of their way to eat other living animals.
So the only meat I actively eat is chicken & fish, unless it's entered my life one way or another & going to waste.
5
u/Donnerdrummel 3d ago
Ridiculous. Honestly, that has got to be the worst justification I have ever heard or read.
This looks like a moral justification for meat consumption, but written by a badly trained AI.
So eating animals is bad, is your starting point, and that is why you only eat animals that have lost their protection by morally misstepping themselves, eating animals themselves? But animals have no morals. You want to condemn a chicken or a salmon for never having been able to discuss philosophy? ....
What else could you mean? Is the reason that you want to protect the prey? But they're most likely farmed animals. They're being fed and eat what they have been fed. They might Not even eat animals, or have no choice what to eat. And If you're referring to the ecological Footprint: theirs is bigger than those of herbivores, so it would be easier to justify herbivores consumption.
Honestly, I'd be interested in your reasoning.
2
u/BumWink 3d ago
I don't want to eat living things that do no active harm to other living things.
I have no qualms eating a chicken that would happily kill & eat mice, frogs, cannabalize, etc. or fish that practically all kill to eat.
How is that so ridiculous to understand?
→ More replies (5)7
u/Donnerdrummel 3d ago
Because you are creating a moral dimension where there is none. For an animal there is no difference between an animal it feeds on or a fruit, because it doesn't know better.
The only factor with a concept of morals in the world of animal prey - carnivore - you eating the carnivore is you.
If you demand to eat a carnivore, you give money to the human who enslaved the carnivore and condemned the herbivores to be fed in by the carnivore.
In order to be able to eat the carnivore, you condemn both herbivore and carnivore to enslavement and death. You are the morally doubtful actor here. Not the carnivore.
Let me guess: you really, really want to eat meat, right?
No worries, I do, too. But I don't deny myself herbivores. Maybe take a timeout from your rule and eat steak, too, until you come up with a better thought out rule.
That being said, I think veganism is the way to go, I am just not strong enough.
