Industrialized animal killing isnt gonna attract ethical folks to run it
- Temple Grandin would like a word.

While screwing our climate via lobbying.

I don't want better working conditions in the torture-murder factories. I want those factories shut down.

honestly the fact that we have artificial meats that are almost as good as proper meat, we should be switching entirely. we are creating and torturing trillions of souls simply so mcdonals can have burgers
- I’m down. I eat almost zero meat already, but I’ve never tasted an alternative that tastes like meat yet. Hopefully lab grown is available and affordable soon.
  
  If you eat almost zero meat, why do you care whether or not something tastes like meat? Shouldn't you care whether or not it tastes good?
  
  I've been a meat eater my whole life, and a well made impossible burger is pretty damn close. There's nothing "not meat-y" about it like I've experienced with beyond meat. I even use it to make my biscuits and gravy now because I can't tell the difference at all in that.
- Alternative vegetable based "meats" have a huge amount of preservatives, emulsifiers, binders, and other nasty chemicals. Artificial meat is literally cancer enduced muscle cells grown in a vat of antibiotics.
  If you don't want meat or feel morally bound to not consume meat, just be a vegetarian or vegan. The "alternatives" are disgusting.

wait til ya see the animal rights reports

People in the comments missing the point completely. The solution to animal cruelty is not human cruelty.
Yes, eating animals is cruel to animals, but meat eating isn't going away, and being cruel to the people who work in those places isn't going to stop the industry. It's just going to physically and mentally harm a lot of underpaid, overworked, poor, immigrant people. People who don't have healthcare for the injuries they incur working in hazardous places, for corporations who see them as just replaceable parts of a machine. Being harmed working in these plants isn't going to result in fewer animals dying or better conditions for the animals we kill. It's just more senseless harm.
- Clarifying question, are you saying shutting down slaughter houses is human cruelty?
  
  No. Having inhumane conditions for the workers is cruelty.
  
  No. They're saying that slaughter houses don't appear to be going away in the near future since there is a still a fervent demand for meat, so the answer of "just shut them down" isn't a valid solution yet. They should be removed of human cruelty until we can fully remove them.

I'm kind of pissed with people trying to push they mediocre agendas through memes. You have an opinion? Grow a pair and publish it in c/politicalmemes /s
- No
