Can you explain why some animals are livestock that can be killed whenever you feel like eating them and some are animal companions that deserve to live until old age? 🤔

killed whenever you feel like eating them

wait the steakhouse from the simpsons is real? I thought there was some kind of schedule dictated by agricultural processes and cyclic demand projections.

running a homestead and telling the children why some of the livestock are gone now

hmm, i'd have to talk to some homesteaders but I think that process is high enough effort that they're not going "oh i want steak tonight" and chowing down on a fresh kill
