Baby Cow: Shout out to the 400 million animals killed today for food.
And shout out to the 25,000 that died while you were reading this post.
SHOUT OUT. THANK YOU ANIMALS.
Why are you even following me as well as the other guy who reblogged the somewhat same thing as you said? Yes,…
I follow you because I like your blog :)
I am a strong proponent of the fair and humane treatment of animals. Within those parameters, I find it completely humane to painlessly kill and then butcher them for their meat provided they have lived a life of free-range freedom in which they did not have to endure digesting hormones or foods outside of their natural diets. Animals are murdered by one another daily within the food chain, a chain that human beings as omnivores (naturally occurring omnivores with the digestive systems to process meat) are a part of.
So, if a cow, pig, duck, chicken, rabbit, squab, lamb etc. lives a life in happiness and is allowed to ingest a natural diet and grow to a substantial age before being painlessly killed, why shouldn’t I ingest it for the naturally occurring proteins, nutrients and fats (which my body needs in the forms that occur in living creatures. Forms of these proteins, amino acids and the like do not occur in their pure forms in substitutes for meat like legumes and vegetables) inside those animals.
Conversely, the food industry allows some horrid things to slip by the FDA. I avoid products that are not certified to be free of this inhumane treatment, and if all meat, fish, poultry and dairy was produced in this way, I would be a vegetarian. Luckily, plenty of food is readily available from sustainable, organic, certified free-range, grass-fed etc. mediums.
We’re another creature on this planet, it’s time for people to step down off of this elitest ideal of human beings as righteous creatures who shouldn’t harm animals. We are animals with a set place in the food chain, and what makes us awesome is that we have the capacity to raise animals in a natural environment and kill them painlessly, something the wild (a place where a wolf could rip a deer apart alive) does not allow them.
I love animals for what they are; another wonderful creature on our planet with their place within it. Below us, and after a long and fulfilling life, on my plate. Preferably with potatoes and a fresh vegetable seasoned in a bit of salt and pepper.
