Or maybe it's off topic considering the topic of the thread is specifically the method used for killing the animals.

It's perfectly apt and relevant to the discussion imo.

How about marsh decides who to aim his posts at and I decide who to respond to?

The topic is about our emotional reaction to the life and the premature death of an animal. Slaughter is merely the final moments of the whole cycle and the whole cycle is relevant.

Edited because I shouldn't write a post when I'm on the phone!

As most farm animals are artificially inseminated by men with giant Turkey basters... It seems unlikely .

Cow rape is no laughing matter actually .

Loads of places. The same places you can buy none bread and none vegetables, I guess.

If animals can't appreciate a hairy farmer whose good with his hands then they can drop dead for all I care.

I don't really care how my meat is killed. It would be nice to use the most painless method but I have never cared enough to actually look that up or anything so I'm clearly not that bothered..I know its animals but to me its just meat

Having said that I only buy free range eggs. So I am not completely cruel

I've stood on many a picket line to stop meat animals, including horses, being transported on ships to the far east and Asia. I'm all for meat being transported to these places but on the hook and not on the hoof.

I am an occasional meat eater and I do care about the cycle of that animals life up to and including death. There is nothing soft about being humane.

Of course not. I was just being kinda brutally honest about it. I could say I care..and I certainly don't like the idea of animals suffering needlessly. But realistically, I don't think of their suffering while making a bacon sarnie :/
