Should Animals To Be Slaughtered Be Tret Humanely?
If you are gonna slaughter chickens why bother having them open range? Isn't it more effecient to keep them in battery fed cages? There's a certain moral hypocrisy with treating animals humanely who are gonna die at your hands isn't there? Along with a waste of finite resources?

Maybe If You Tret Them Nice They Test Better?

How much of that is like a placebo to do with neat packaging containing 'green' wording? I can't tell the difference myself, except for price.normal wrote:Maybe If You Tret Them Nice They Test Better?

There's no need to disregard the ethical treatment of animals just because we plan to kill and eat them. After they're dead pain and suffering are not an issue, obviously .. How we treat them while they live is what matters.

From what I've read the internal urination that can spoil the taste of meat mostly happens from stress caused on the day of slaughter.JimC wrote:charlou wrote:There's no need to disregard the ethical treatment of animals just because we plan to kill and eat them.

That's a separate issue. Besides, I don't know if any convict has to wait for five years after the last possible appeal has been lost.Crumple wrote:It is cruel waiting years.

I heard dogs taste better if you beat them up and treat them badly. Or was that cats?

Very much. We're all going to die someday, so it's how we live now that matters.charlou wrote:There's no need to disregard the ethical treatment of animals just because we plan to kill and eat them.

That's called "tenderizing" the meat.normal wrote:I heard dogs taste better if you beat them up and treat them badly. Or was that cats?
Lobsters too. They taste best when tortured to death with boiling water.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
