#like if you can't stomach killing and gutting and quartering a chicken you shouldn't eat it you know.

the only meats i buy from the grocery store nowadays are cold cuts from a brand that's certified humane but this week i got a little bit of pork for the cats (as a treat) and i got sooo sooooo sad thinking about how smart pigs are and how cruel the meat industry is. and although i don't think there's anything wrong with eating meat from animals that have been humanely raised it dawned on me like a brick to the face that becoming vegetarian is inevitable
#the only barrier i have to overcome is i am such a picky eater i literally don't like enough vegetarian proteins to survive. gotta buff up#my food options first :| and obviously the cats will still eat meat i'll just find a local humane source#alternatively i'd be ok with eating meat that i raise + slaughter myself because that would feel like i've been close enough to the death#process to earn it. does that make sense. i don't think it's fair to eat meat while getting to be sheltered from what it once was#like if you can't stomach killing and gutting and quartering a chicken you shouldn't eat it you know.#but realistically i'm not gonna move to a farm or start hunting anytime soon so. learning to like lentils and chickpeas it is#is this like. libertarian of me. much to think about
