This is just an example of modern people being exposed to the reality of how they live unexpectedly and against their will.
The way we categorize nature and our relation to it is arbitrary and incoherent because it all must support the ridiculous notion that people (and the animals that we name) exist outside or even above nature.
I think everyone should be forced to either watch the entire process or kill and eat an animal themselves before they can comment on crap like this lol. Doing so generates an unimaginable amount of respect for life and death.
Honestly if you want to eat meat as an adult, I feel like you should have to get a carnivore licence by killing and cooking an animal yourself. And I say this as a meat-eater. Non-farmers are far too detached from the circle of life to have opinions on this kind of thing.
Must be renewed every eoection cycle
Reminds me of toddlers who want contradictory things.
Oh my god. Soylent green is pets!
I was once privy to a, shall we say, “heated discussion”, about whether eating traditionally pet breeds of animal was acceptable. One position said it was wrong no matter what.
Let’s call that ethical position 1.
Another said it’d be OK as long as those animals were bred specifically for the purpose, were treated well while alive and were never pets. Like farm animals are (theoretically) treated.
That’ll be slightly less ethical, position 2. Make a scale out of them. Draw a line between them and extend.
Feeding euthanised, previously healthy pets to wild animals is - in my opinion - at least position 3 on this scale. Make those wild animals captives and you’re headed off in the direction of 4.
I can’t say it’s wrong, but it ain’t right either.
