Stop
Eating
Beef!
As much as I loved me some burgers, sirloin tips and churrasco, the cost just isn't worth it.
Just going meat free once a week can be great for your health, wallet and the environment!
And let's not forget, its also great for the source of the meat.
But the cow in the commercial says it wants to be eaten.
"...and eat bison instead!"
Calm down, Ted Turner. \s
Edit: welp. That's a bit too calm, Ted!
Honestly, my understanding is that Ted Turner basically saved the bison from extinction by deciding to maintain a herd, just so he can serve them up at his restaurant.
The motivations are what they are, but the outcome is definitely positive.
Some of the most common large animals in the world are only so because they're livestock. Otherwise, they might've been extinct by now (compare cows and aurochs, for example). Between that and funding wildlife conservation through hunting and fishing license revenue, having, let's say, "fraught" motivations like that is not unusual at all.
