i just struggle to believe theres any ethical way to harvest meat. farm animal dying of old age? yeah. ok. sure. but farm animals aren't going to be perpetually dying of old age enough to fulfill the demand for their meats. you can make better and more convincing arguments to me for ethically harvesting eggs, wool and milk rather than meat.

#eggs? just supplement the chickens diet with more diverse foods to make up for the nutrients lost that they would otherwise have #if they were left to consume their own unfertile eggs #wool? well unfortunately we've already bred sheep to constantly grow wool so you kinda have to shear them for their own wellbeing #milk's a little harder to convince me w. but as long as you're not taking more than the calf needs then it should be generally ok.#the true crime however is how aurochs went extinct so that humans could benefit from them.#i don't think you can convince me that genetically altering animals for human benefit was ever a good idea. but we're here already.#so we gotta figure it out. i'm still disgusted about how we got here.#give me a convincing reason not to be. i do not marvel at the 'greatness and intellect of humanity' because all I see is people #using these animals as a means to an end. it feels the same to me as genetically altering dogs till they can hardly function.#wish people would just admit that this endeavor was done by the selfishness of humanity rather than try to fluff it up with #'well the animals can benefit too !!!' yeah but who benefits more and why do they deserve to benefit more #its fine to admit its done for self serving reasons. i'd respect you more if you did admit it.#humans do a lot of things for self serving reasons. the worst is when humans try to convince themselves thats Not the reason they #did something so blatantly self serving.#i think a lot of progressive types struggle to accept when they do things for self serving reasons. im not gonna pull a 'humans are #inherently selfish' on you but selfishness is very much a core part of being human and an animal in general. it's not what defines #us and it's not our only trait. we are a social species after all so it doesnt serve us to be purely selfish #but we do be being selfish still. we're not gonna be able to fully escape that behavior. you're not gonna be able to escape being #selfish by virtue of calling yourself progressive. it's impossible. just do your best to not be selfish but also dont deny when you are #honesty with yourself and what you're like is important. you're never going to be a pure perfect good moral person ever.#and convincing yourself all your actions are ones of Morality is Not the way you should go about ANYTHING ever #its why instead of letting yourself be kinda sad about an animal having to die to feed you you somehow try to convince yourself #that the animal wanted it or needed it or benefited somehow. it didn't. and thats ok to acknowledge. you're not an inhuman monster #for eating a dead animal. that doesn't mean it cant be sad. that doesn't mean you dont pay your respects. be sad it happened #and at the same time thankful for the animal feeding you. dont skip with glee about its sacrifice bc thats just fuckin.... weird...#a lil unhinged.........
