Sounds like you’re cooking it wrong. It feels disrespectful, but a lot of the people criticizing this probably rub their hands together and say, “yummy!” when they pull a burger out of a bag without thinking of the calf/cow it once was.
Gotcha. I was vegetarian for many years, so I get it. Cooking chicken actually smelled like heated roadkill to me, I had to leave the room.
I felt healthier without eating meat, actually. Now that I am back to eating meat, I respect where it comes from and intend to use every part of my harvests (having a dog helps too). I believe I owe it to the animal to acknowledge where what is on my plate comes from and to be as humane as possible.
yeah, it’s cool how our brain can rationalize an evil act, like paying for innocent beings to be slaughtered for our pleasure, by “respecting their sacrifice”, and occasionally hunting something “humanely” and then pretending like we only ever eat meat that came from an animal that never suffered for our meals
I bet when Jeff Bezos hunts people for sport on his private island, he takes a minute to respect their sacrifice. And if the first shot doesn’t kill them, he makes sure to shoot them in the head so they don’t suffer.
That’s our choice, personhood is a social construct. Don’t be a realist, take personal responsibility for your worldview. Choose whether animals are people.
They’ve been asserting their personhood for a long time. Check out !transspecies@lemmy.blahaj.zone. I’m not an animal, but I’m not a human either, and I have had close relationships with many therians. But even if therians didn’t exist, you should still choose to be kind. This slaver mentality of expecting marginalised groups to stand up for themselves by your standards is a catch-22. You’re in control of your own standards. You can’t make everyone else responsible for your own choices.

I’ve never cooked lamb, I only ate it as a kid. And the last time I spent My money on dead chordate, I was recovering from invasive surgery.

nonhuman animals aren’t people

when nonhuman animals assert their personhood, that will change things.

Nature made us this way. Life exist by eating other life, that’s how it is. Blame god/universe for it.
