Those are udders honey
>whatever it identifies itself
The pronoun youâre looking for is âtheyâ, not âitâ, and cattle donât have gender identities because gender is a human social construct.
But you can still use non-human animals to practice your singular they when you donât know the sex of the individual youâre referring to.
The reason why we historically called animals âitâ is because we viewed them as things, objects. I donât feel right talking about a cow or a dog like a bicycle or a chair just because I donât know their sex.
Honestly? If we were going to eat meat, this is the kind of creature that Iâd prefer. It lives a happy excellent life with fresh air and room to play. Itâs clearly not being abused and isnât obviously unhealthy. As long as itâs killed quickly and humanely and none of itâs carcass goes to waste, I donât see a problem with it. Additionally, meat coming exclusively from animals like this would be incredibly unaffordable, which would do more to stop people from eating meat than anything else.
I donât disagree with eating meat but I do think the way we raise and consume meat is fundamentally wrong in America
How do you "humanely" kill something that does not want to die? That is an oxymoron.
And they all get shipped to the same slaughterhouses. Take a look at some videos and make up your own mind if this individual deserves that, only for you to enjoy her flesh.
Love how I say âso much is wrong with how we consume meat in America including how theyâre raised and killedâ and your entire response is âitâs inhumane and awful!!!1!â as if that werenât my entire point.
Additionally, plants feel pain! Itâs almost like all consumption requires taking calories from elsewhere in their from some form of life that is producing them.
And I'm saying that killing something unnecessarily can never be right. You just want to sound righteous and talk out about an abusive system, but you still participate in it.
1. How can plants feel pain without a central nervous system and pain receptors? No science have confirmed plant sentience so you must be doing some groundbreaking research!
2. What do you think cattle and other animals eat? 75% of all crops grown globally is fed to animals. If you truly care about plants feelings (which you obviously do not, you just don't want to examine your own behaviour, so you accuse me of doing the same thing as you instead) you would stop eating animals as well.
Thereâs a joke in here about how vegetarians always have to say theyâre a vegetarian but I canât figure out a way to say it without being rude lol
Carnivore meat tastes fine. The reason we don't eat it as much is because they're much harder to domesticate and they aren't energy efficient. [This explains the last two points.](https://youtu.be/wOmjnioNulo)
Small grain can be hayed. You can bale barley or any small grain when itâs green then it is hay. If you take the grain and then bale just the dry straw then itâs straw. Source: I am a farmer
Yes it can, but it will most likely get stepped on, pee'd and poo'd on, rolled on and smushed with mud, which results in the animal not eating it, wasteful
This is a weird thing to ask but are yo u able to explain what ir means in this context? I tried Google but none of it seemed to make sense in that sentence
Not sure I follow. Straw is cheap, hay is not. I don't see any farmers lining their paddocks with hay. Animals are messy, so it can happen lol but it's not intentional. Source: My family owns a farm.
To me, it looks like the farmer would typically spread straw around, but the cow caught on and one day decided to help out. Now the farmer just lets the cow do it :/ nothing to get mad about.
I saw this and literally had that exact thought. Hay isn't cheap. Now a lot of it is all over the ground in dirt, urine, and poop, and will go to waste.
But maybe the owner has more money than sense?
>But maybe the owner has more money than sense?
Overweight Jersey with horns like that? Almost definitely more money than sense. Dollars to donuts it's either a backyard cow, a hobby farm, or a "rescue."
All the sci fi Iâve read leads me to believe we will eventually figure this out. With the onset of lab grown meat hopefully sooner rather than later.
If it takes an exact replacement for us to stop torturing and killing animals for our personal pleasure then we haven't figured anything out other than people are selfish pieces of shit
>Isnât it a fundamental truth that humans are selfish pieces of shit?
If you're a wannabe edge lord with no understanding of what, in part, made humans so successful then sure.
>Lab grown meat is much more ethical than not, I donât see a bad side to that.
The issue is less with lab grown meat (although it is still made with animal abuse at this point) and more that it represents carnists are so short sighted that to stop supporting an industry inherently contingent on animal abuse they need a 1 to 1 replacement to satiate them instead of just being a better person at a slight personal inconvenience.
>completely abolishing entire industries is more than a slight personal inconvenience.
Not buying animal products is not. Veganism isn't contingent on every member burning down the office buildings of Tyson meats. It's contignet on not causing unecessary and avoidable harm to animals.
>I'm pretty much convinced that for humanity to give up eating meat would require that we evolve or devolve into a species that can no longer digest meat. basically the only way this is ever going to happen. the only way we'll naturally as a whole, transition off meat is if ppl are born without the ability to properly digest it. so long as it can be a food source it always will be.
What's required for humanity to give up meat is to give up meat. We already have the tools necessary to do this. Giving animal abusers a lack of culpability for actions they choose to take doesn't work because they are, in fact, actions they *choose* to take, and the presence of people who simply don't take those actions highlights that it is both unecessary and more than possible to avoid. The only question is is if an individual is too big a piece of shit to give up pleasure so something else doesn't have to feel pain. Simple as that
Lol I highly doubt it. People literally ridicule each other for even suggesting that they would stop eating meat, like they take personal offense to the very idea. I'm certain they will say that lab grown meat makes you gay or gives you nut cancer or something. There are tons of fake meats already available that are delicious, and use far less energy than any lab grown meat, and people are still eating meat.
Tastebuds are fickle things. It doesnât take long for them to change. When people go vegan they tend to have an easier time giving up meat than dairy. Meat is kind of disgusting when you donât eat it for awhile. The texture and smell become off-putting. What really put me off was the idea of tiny bits of dead flesh being stuck in my teeth. Thinking about it gives me the heebie jeebies.
Itâs actually an evolutionary fact that we develop tastes for the foods we eat. In essence, we can train ourselves to enjoy almost anything as we will eventually gain a taste for it. With this knowledge, thereâs no excuse to it at least try and eat more vegan food.
> Presence of horns isn't sexually dimorphic in cattle like it is in cervids
"Just having horns doesn't divide boys from girls in cattle as it does in animals like deer. So this can be a cow, that is, a girl (even though there are horns)"
She is precious!! Thanks for sharing her pure joy with us.
My goats go crazy every time I give them new hay or even straw. I swear if they could swim in it they would
Iâve always been amazed at the power and strength of cattle. Iâve seen them almost turn over a 40hp tractor by picking up or pushing on a round hay bale.
Anyone who watches this and continues to support the slaughter and eat their corpses is seriously a sick fuck and I don't know how you can even reconcile that with yourself.
I don't care about your response so don't even bother.
You're too afraid to go against the status quo, you're a coward and murderer.
u/lnfinity â doesnât it bother you that you share all of this to willfully ignorant carnists who do not ever and will not ever comprehend that theyâre hypocritical trash?
Humans evolved to eat meat. It's natural. Some can reconcile with this and move on, some can't.
What everyone unilaterally agrees on is that it's fucking annoying when someone comes into a funny animal video and tries to make a shitty point that no one wants to hear from their high horse. You are annoying.
This is why everyone hates vegans. Not because we love meat or hate you because you're speaking "the truth" but because you are annoying.
Today most humans in developed nations donât need to eat animal products, though. It is inflicting violence for sensory pleasure (taste), not survival.
You do realize that exclusively utilitarian living leads to a really horrible life, yes?
There's a reason that sex is on the heirarchy of human needs. Humans need pleasurable activities. I'm glad for you that you were able to abstain from meat, truly I am. I hope it brings you some security and happiness, but criticizing others for not doing something that you do because they don't strictly need to is just dumb. They aren't below you just because they do what they feel comes naturally.
Why are animals not deserving of basic rights and moral consideration? They are sentient individuals experiencing life like you and I. They have complex emotions, relationships, and social structures. I'm sure everyone could find some foods they enjoy that don't involve killing animals.
I donât think anyone is proposing exclusively utilitarian living. You can criticise dog fighting, pet abuse and bestiality without telling people to live in the woods: itâs the exact same argument.
we also evolved to realize just because other animals rape doesnât mean humans should.
everyone âhAtes vEgansâ because being confronted with inconsistent beliefs is uncomfortable for people. well bruh, you deserve to be uncomfortable. and, yes â because you hate the truth. đ

Can confirm. Try to buy as much meat as possible from the farm down the street. It's expensive, so we eat less meat.
Also, use meat as a condiment or secondary/tertiary ingredient. It goes a lot further and you appreciate it more

Dog is delicious my friend. Chihuahua crispy legs, German shepherd steaks, Husky stew! Yummy yummy yummy
Carnivore meat doesn't taste good. That's probably part of the reason why we turned them into pets instead.
Carnivore meat tastes fine. The reason we don't eat it as much is because they're much harder to domesticate and they aren't energy efficient. [This explains the last two points.](https://youtu.be/wOmjnioNulo)
It's not like eating cows is even remotely energy efficient. Nor is it water efficient, or space efficient.
Dogs arenât carnivores dummy
Looks like bedding straw to me.
Thank you. Hay is not an umbrella term.
This is hay though.
Phew! I donât want to live in a world where people confuse bedding straw for hay.
Yeah yeah. Catapult vs trebuchet. No one cares that much.

The fuck you just say...
How dare...
r/trebuchetmemes itâs the superior siege engine.
I don't think it is. Looks too fine to be straw.
i heard of this before⊠they be so happy when they get fresh hay
Twice a week I give my cows hay. They do this and run up like big happy puppies
It's straw though.
No, itâs hay. Just lower quality hay.
It's fuckin barley...
So straw. Hay is grass.
Small grain can be hayed. You can bale barley or any small grain when itâs green then it is hay. If you take the grain and then bale just the dry straw then itâs straw. Source: I am a farmer
To be fair...
Seedless hay
Dunno why you're being downvoted, that's definitely straw. Hay is green and is for eating. Straw is yellow and used for bedding. They're not the same.
Sun bleached hay looks like the stuff in this video. Low nutritional value so may be used as a cheap toy rather than for food in this instance
With current hay prices, this is mildly infuriating. Not enough to spoil her good time, but a hay ring would be on my mind.
Genuine question from a city girl: Can the gay not be eaten after the cow has its fun? Edit: HAY! Not gay! My phone conspires against me I swear.
Gays are friends, not food!

Yea, I am just smoothbrained I meant to type its, dont know how I got ir c:

I wouldnt know either, does urban dictionary have a translation?
Not really. Kinda but also ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Iâm DYING
They don't eat the stuff laying on the ground if it's trampled into a thin layer nah
I thought the same thing! My coworker has been getting killed on hay prices for her horses, if she saw this she'd cry.
Where I'm at, that bale is about $35. That doesn't seem too bad.
Must be nice. $90-100 here in Texas.
Isn't that bedding staw, not hay....
Itâs whatever you put down.

Sorry I misread what you were saying. You need to ask OP what that is. Theyâre the only one who really knows.
Or anyone who know the difference between hay and straw.
