The moment you realise calves are better equipped for winter than you are.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My calves always get cold in the winter. But that's probably because I wear winter jorts

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I love my winter jorts. No problem with cold when your calves are big enough to create their own weather patterns.

cows are friends, not food.

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In the very least, we should be ensuring that any animal bred for consumption should be given the absolute best life possible, not crammed into spaces like sardines and forced to exist in their own shit all their lives.

they taste better when they've had a happy life

So you must taste greeeeat despite all the antibiotics and microplastics in your body.

I have zero doubts that people would be delicious.

So what's stopping you

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

what? what are you trying to say here

[–] m12421k@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're asking for permission to commit some jolly cannibalism 🥰

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Must be one of them German cannibals...

[–] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're trying to say this is a bs argument

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

but it is a true fact. theres a huge difference in quality between the basic slaughterhouse meat and full life lived running around and eating what they are supposed to eat meat

[–] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For fks sake, the detachment from reality in this comment is astonishing. Would it be ok if I raised you as meat and then slaughtered you when you where 15 years old if I guarantee you that you would have a decent life in the meantime? Of course not, it would still be pretty fucked up.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

its not a detachment from reality its actually completely based in reality, the statement being nothing more than quality of taste and a true fact, again completely based in reality. we all get it you think eating animals is wrong but my comment is not meant as some sort of statement on anything more than quality of food

Problem is good life isn't economically sustainable.

[–] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's what they are trying to make you believe. Good life is not sustainable, either for the cows or for you

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right right, as long as you don't have to do anything :)

[–] PixellatedDave@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Nah I just don't touch animals or animal products as much as possible now. Easy

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 4 points 2 years ago

Tune in for more corporate media jokes tonight at 8 pm.

[–] BeerMedic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Very tasty friends.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Moo body cared who I was until I put on the mask.

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Welcome, all, to the first post on Lemmy I have ever saved.

these appear to be veal crates, these are baby cows that have been taken from their mothers to feed the demand for cow's milk; a horrifically cruel practice. make 2024 the year you align your values with your purchases!

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The pens on both of these (but especially the left) are far too large to be veal crates, which don’t allow calves to turn around.

[–] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Or to stand up. It’s about restricting muscle use.

[–] aubertlone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Really wish people would stop spouting random bullshit.

This is so clearly not a veal crate. To be clear, I don't even eat any beef, pork, red meat in general.
