In other words, horses, like pigs and cows and chickens, are commodities whose worth has a dollar value to people, and we should be doing what we can do maximize that dollar value. Not approving the institutionalized slaughter of the horses we claim to hold so dear lowers that value. Where did all the fanfare around horses go?

It's just another excuse people have concocted because they like the taste of cow/pig/chicken/fish flesh. Why choose enslavement, rape, domination and slaughter? So we went from a ban to a vague statement about the prevention of abuse that clearly doesn't consider slaughter abusive. Or if it's brutal it is necessary.

People in South Florida are still in an uproar over the mutilation and slaughter of 19 house cats (allegedly) by 18-year old Tyler Weinman, who was declared mentally competent and not a danger to himself or others (!). We don't say we hate cows. We don't say we hate pigs and want to see them writhing in pain and slaughtered.

The problem with that statement is it's not as if farmers are searching "the wild" for cows, pigs, chicken and fish, plucking them from their homes, and plopping them on a farm to live out their (shortened) lives prior to slaughter. They are created to be slaughtered. The choice isn't the wild or the farm.

There will be no greyhound corpse on our table, no turkey corpse and no pig corpse. The conclusion I'm left making is that the person saying "Because it tastes good" thinks that it's funny that a sentient being was raped (in the case of cows), mutilated (chickens, pigs and others) and slaughtered (everyone) because people find them tasty.

Yes, I do think it's better to have lived a comfortable life and then be slaughtered than to have been tortured the entire time and then be slaughtered. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. It's just not right. Betrayal , according to the Oxford English Dictionary: 1.

The site says food production factories are included , but I doubt that means those involving the slaughter of animals.). Perhaps they are taught that other cultures eat animals other than cows, chickens, fish and pigs, I don't know. The kids made tortillas from scratch and then went to a factory to see how professionals do it.
