My brother had a friend who grew up on a chicken ranch….
As a child, he was chased and terrorized by roosters… even the hens pecked at his fingers.He said it made him hate chickens.
He wouldn’t even eat chicken….but if any of the neighbors had qualms about killing one of their backyard flock for dinner… he was happy to go do it.
A little creepy…. but he didn’t think so…and he pointed out that he never liked killing anything else, not even spiders or ants.Just chickens. It’s like Bucky and weasels, or monkeys… except with Bucky, it’s all talk.
No one’s ever explained what would happen to all the farm animals like cows, chicken and pigs if they were no longer wanted for eating. For sure, they wouldn’t be kept as pets!
sigh I don’t even know why he’s having the conversation. Cats are obligate carnivores, they can’t digest vegetable protein. In order to get meat you either have to kill it or scavenge it.
As human beings, irrespective of religious beliefs, we should care that animals raised for food are treated well during their lives and slaughtered with as little pain as possible.

You go to a prison for a few decades where they will gladly serve you a vegetarian diet.

Gut a few chickens and the stench alone will make you lose your appetite (for a while).

What if you didn’t kill them, you just ripped their spine out?

“Bike wheel” science? Lol. Gotta remember to use that sometime instead of “rocket”.

Guess what vegitarian boy – the animals die eventually anyway.

Besides, Rob, as everyone knows (and as someone may have already posted here), “vegetarian” comes from an old Native American word for “bad hunter.”

Christ, the cat makes more sense than the human. Does he think animals live forever if humans don’t kill them?
When this dope goes to Africa and stands between a lion and its prey, I will stop taking animals for food.

Is Rob forgetting that cats have prey drive?
