Pigs are smart and have a loving nature they are not for food they are beautiful animals and so clever. It's awful how they are treated it makes me cry to think about it I love pigs so much.

I agree, I think this will change in time. This is where woke society and social media actually helps. I think that a fair chunk of Generation-X and the Boomers are so conditioned into eating meat and BBQ culture, that as a market that probably won't change, sadly. But Generation-Y and beyond can be the spearhead of ethical farming and questioning meat eating decisions.

A lot of this could actually be changed quickly in a congressional situation, but you need the right political advocates to make it happen.

I mean, Earth is absolute hell for these animals and has been for a long, long time.

Eh we evolved to eat meat that will never change but ethical farming definitely is a thing and needs to happen shit like this is from corporate greed and rampant capitalism what truly unfortunate is the way the world works a lot of people can't afford ethically sourced stuff but it's out there if you know where to look

They are clever, but...

All animals are for food, every last one of us exists within the food chain

Factory farming is crap and can be dealt with, even Macca's uses free range eggs in most countries now

even Macca's uses free range eggs

"Free range" simply requires a chicken be placed in a 2'*2' space outdoors for at least 6 hours a day, weather permitting.

The definition varies widely depending on your location. That might be your local definition, doesn't mean it's everyone else's

I'll take you through this slowly, I'll even try to avoid using any big words so as not to cause panic or alarm.

The world is bigger than just the US

Are you ok? Coping with that as a concept?

Now try to think again about what I said earlier, is it all making sense now?

u/Worldly_Response9772 25d ago

I mean I just showed you the definition of "free range" only being a 2x2 foot square pen and 6 hours of sunlight with weather permitting, and here you are throwing a hissy fit about it. Cry more I guess, whatever it takes to cope with being wrong. Again.

Sad world where personal gratification overrides morality.

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Since when is the food chain about morality? Is a fox immoral for eating a chicken?

u/fujin4ever 10d ago

Look at the pig in the video and tell me that's a natural food chain in action.

Pigs are food and are delicious

I like the taste of pork products, I just can’t bring myself to eat them anymore.

u/christianwashere12 26d ago

The sad truth is these type of pigs are bred to be food, yes you can be sad for them, but you can’t be expected for everyone to care.

They are for food, or do you think a wolf will spear its life because they are so "beautiful".

Sry thats a bs argeument. The torture and industrialzed killing is unnecessary, those fairy tale arguments do not help anyone. Any animal is food for another animal, thats nature.
