Just pump nitrogen in the sealed pens. The animal doesn’t panic due to perceived oxygen deprivation. They just get sleepy and die.

Hell it would be the way I’d want to go if I was sick with terminal cancer. Cheap, easy, and painless.

We really need some humanitarian regulation in this country.

Hello aliens I'm a vegan and condemn this bullshit

If humans don't commit suicide first through war or environmental abuse, I truly believe that future generations will look back on eating meat as a barbaric mistake. They'll tell stories about how we caused epidemics and pandemics, wasted valuable resources and land, polluted air, land, and sea, and abided the suffering of billions of animals, all so we could feed our children dinosaur shaped meat nuggets and buy cheap hamburgers that we were too lazy to even get out of our cars to purchase.

"And then, even as global warming spiraled out of control, they wasted arable land and dwindling water supplies on subsidized corn to feed to the subsidized beef and poultry stock. The ones that didn't get culled or recalled or spoil before even hitting a plate contributed to a dietary culture of heart disease. Also, the animals regularly suffered immensely, which they were aware of but preferred not to consider."

The meat industry is fucking sick and demented but people need their meats so animal ethics be damned…. Fucking bullshit, fucking human cancer

Oh cool, that's completely horrifying. And not at all surprising from the meat industry. They've never cared about animal cruelty with anything else they do, so why would they care about this?

Fourty nine million just staggers my brain. Like, thats not even a blip in the production.

...nuts.

If aliens do come to earth, and simply enslave us, torture us then kill us for reasons we can't comprehend, there should be absolutely no question whether we deserve it or not. They would be doing what we do to other sentient creatures en masse. We have the intelligence and ability to simply not kill these animals in a fashion that is sadistic and agonizing(im not even saying not to kill them, just do it humanely, bare minimum), yet we do it anyway because of greed and capitalist profit motives, cutting costs, etc.

I sometimes hope for aliens to come to this planet and treat us like we treat other living beings.

Humanity is such a poor excuse for civilisation

Firefighting foam is full of PFAS that tends to pollute groundwater. The last thing we need is more uses for it.
