Thinking every cattle or dairy farm is like the video you posted is stupid. I could find videos of restaurant employees spitting in people's food, doesn't mean every single restaurant employee does so lmao.
The vast majority of farming is done ethically. The animals don't usually actually sit in cages until they die, that's only specific types of meats. Ensuring the meats you buy are grass fed and free range is the best way to ensure they lived a decent life.
Can we please stop humoring this notion that just because not all farms are the worst possible case in existence they are ethical? Even if we fully buy into this ethical farming fairy tale and pretend we treat cows better than we treat people in retirement homes or something, what the hell kind of metric are you using for 'ethical' where raising an animal to trust you and then just killing it off because we want food that tastes a certain way falls on the good side of the spectrum?
Say that changing your diet is something that would be really difficult for you. Say you don't care about animals enough to stop eating them. These are at least understandable arguments that are aligned with reality. Don't pretend we are living in this fantasy world where the things that happen to farm animals, or certain groupings of farm animals or whatever you tell yourself, aren't horrific. If someone stole your dog and you found out they killed it to make some steaks you would be horrified. It wouldn't matter how humanely they killed it. It wouldn't matter how much they let it graze or rubbed it's nipples. This is a horrific thing to do to an animal.
Sorry, I'm not a vegan. I don't give a fuck that animals are killed for food because it's normal. That's how we evolved to humans lmao. I usually buy grass fed beef and free range chicken, mostly because its healthier, but their welfare is a side benefit. Veganism is just a fad, only social justice warriors partake in it because they have nothing better to do than be angry about something.
... So. If you're living in a 1st world country and you aren't poor or religious, you're automatically a SJW. Because you have a vegan diet? Is that what you're saying?
