In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

When you say this, what are you thinking of exactly?

Not just cattle, but all the 'meat' animals. Chickens live their entire lives in tiny cages, debeaked and sick. They can barely turn around and end up stomping on one another and fighting.

If the animals are sold to a feedlot, it's not for their whole lives but rather for the last few weeks of it.

You're leaving out the misery dairy cows endure on a daily basis...veal calves being confined to a tiny stall, unable to even turn around, for their entire (short) lives. And the chickens. You're leaving out the chickens. And not all cattle are 'grass-fed' - most are grain fed, in feedlots.

And even if you're right about some of the animals, a 'few weeks' is a very long time, to one that is being abused.

If the feedlot is well-run, the animals are not in misery there, either.

Are we living on the same planet?

The part that gets all the attention, the slaughterhouse, can indeed be troubling,

Troubling?

but slaughterhouses can also be well-run and minimize animal suffering. The animals are there for a matter of hours, not days or months.

Are we living on the same planet?
