You just going to sidestep the other points above that talk about exploitation of children and the planet or do you just want to talk about cattle? Because if cattle is more important than those things, please let me know so I can write this off as a conversation not worth having.
you said yourself that they were silly, and I wholeheartedly agree.
but the whole “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, so we might as well violate all the rights we can!” isn’t it.
The problem is that I don’t believe there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, that statement encompasses the argument of “there’s no ethical consumption of meat” which seems to be the one you began with. I’m willing to agree there’s an over consumption of meat in US diets, I myself struggle to shove more veggies into my life and cut back on the steaks and burgers, but to frame all meat consumption as “needless slaughter” underneath an article about a teen dying in a processing is drastically tone deaf.
yea, why hasn’t anyone thought to make the dismemberment factory a safe place to be?

If properly maintained and running at a reasonable pace, the disnemberment factory is actually a pretty safe place to work.
