What are your thoughts on that humanity managed it to outsource the responsibility to kill in order to eat meat? What if we end up that only machines will kill for meat?
Honestly that’s everything I can think of when the food discussion is coming up. Blinded.
Don’t like this thought at all.
It should be a personal process, for those capable of doing it
I think that is the reason why many people see animals only as commodities. At least the so-called farm animals. They have been turned into a "thing", mentally. People who raise and kill animals themselves think differently about them. Or the hunter who experiences the interplay of nature and then hunts. When industry takes over farming and slaughtering, it's all about price and efficiency
Another example of fiat mentality corrupting things...
I'm not sure I understand, we don't personally kill nothing that we eat. Plants die too when someone else kills them. We outsourced the responsibility of killing in general, including other humans. Strange thought.
We used to hunt, we used to raise them on our own. We used to be really grateful because it was often something rare but rich in nutrition. I talk about meat. We used to teach this our kids. And now we’re buying it at the counter. Even packed in plastic. This just doesn’t feel right you know?
While many people are already used to it, that the act of killing will do someone else, for a very few generations, my father has teached me how to hunt and how to slaughter. TBH I couldn’t do it today.
I feel bad for all the animals that get raised and killed unaware. My grandfather used to raise his gooses with love and ended up killing them anyway. This requires strength & respect. What if we loose this sense, because we rarely get in touch with it?
My grandfather was a hunter and two of my uncles are hunters. When they hunted, the meat was processed. They made sausage from it and distributed it around the family. My grandfather also used to keep pigeons and rabbits. Meat was eaten on Sundays. Not otherwise. It was a different kind of appreciation. However, the slaughtering and processing of the hunted animals was also a direct trigger for my mother
Yeah I can understand that. Very similar to here. Not here to tell people that everyone should kill. Hope we have this within our community again in the future, it’s just the way society handles it today, it makes me sad that nobody is really aware. Big Slaughterhouses & the animal product industry is a shitcoin.
As intensive livestock farming is getting more and more cruel, meanwhile governments are poisoning the animals which mean our food supply with mRNA jabs. The best you can do is raising your own animals with love and care to their very last moment.
👏🏼💚
Once we started raising our own animals we figured we can't even buy that quality of meat around, because farmers either don't produce that quality or won't sell it.
It’s absolutely something different to raise them on your own. The respect you feel. You’re beyond grateful. And it shows in the quality and taste. Connected to the roots & nature. Thanks for sharing! 👏🏼🌿
I think the biggest loss is that we forget that killing domesticated animals for meat is actually more humane that letting them "live their best lives" or whatever. PETA would not exist in a more agrarian society.
Cows, chickens, pigs, and the like have been shaped by human breeding to the point of interdependence, just like dogs. They are made to serve our needs, and the animals live their most proper, happiest lives when they are cared for, allowed to eat, play, and reproduce, and are given a swift death as painless as possible.
I think living their best life is important. Not in a way that you make them a pet, but in a way that it justifies their destiny. Letting them grow up in an unnatural cage, why would you do this to something you’re planning to feed yourself with? Giving the responsibility to someone in a slaughter house makes us numb. Over generations it will make us numb for nature, not getting teached how to kill anymore. This is an appeal to everyone that values animald. That values the quality. To everyone that is seeing intelligence and feelings in their eyes. And not just a thing. I just wish for awareness.
I think mostly people don't think about from where their food come from (and that is really sad). Lot of kids nowadays do not know that milk is producces by live animal.
For example, we are raising broiler chickens for meat and lot of my friends/family were disgusted that we will kill them when it is time by ourselv. But those people are still going to restaurant/supermarkets and pretending that the meat is something else than dead animal 🤔
And I think it is up to us to make some difference before it is too late.
Wow I didn’t know about that, strong. 💪🏼
Maybe because we’re used to get the meat served by others, like the father of the family. So we’re used to eat it but not necessarily to kill it. Now we’re here.
Yes it is. 💯
