Totally with you on this. We're talking about sentient creatures who feel stress, pain, and fear. I don't have a problem with a young steer living on a pasture getting humanely slaughtered for meat and maybe (maybe?) the factory farms are up and up with animal welfare. But if that is so, why is it such a secretive business?
A few weeks ago I was at a motel and a woman was walking her pet pig. She was leash trained, she liked getting petted, and the woman let me feed her a carrot. They're a lot like your dog yet eating dogs is considered crazy and inhumane.
If I had the option I might just eat humans vs. animals.....just sayin' Might have to smoke them for awhile to soften up the meat though.
