David Jones, meat eater who doesn’t support animal cruelty不支持虐待動物的肉食者

In my opinion, I think that it’s ethical to eat meat, but only for bare and minimum consumption for survival and if the meat was raised under humane conditions.

1. Many meat eaters claim that we have climbed to the top of the food chain and were meant to eat meat all along, and that is very true. After all, the two canines we have in our mouth aren’t there for just no reason. Many studies have shown that humans can survive on an all-veggie diet, but that would require a lot of bodily regulation and treatment and definitely isn’t the most natural diet. However, if you’re willing to put up with all the hassle and inconvenience of having to take away all sources of meat, I have nothing against it. In fact, I would respect you for sacrificing yourself for a living being which you barely even know, and that is highly remarkable and comparable to an anonymous organ donor.

2. However, that still doesn’t excuse the animal cruelty faced by animals in the US farming industry. Many fellow meat eaters fail to see this point, but I can’t really blame them because when you grow up in a society which eats meat, you don’t question it and just go with the flow. Most children have this dainty image that animals are raised in green pastures, slaughtered, packaged and sold on supermarket shelves. But have you ever asked yourself, how was the meat raised? How was it slaughtered? After you watch documentaries such as Earthlings and Cowspiracy, you’ll find out the truth and realise that it’s not really pretty after all. It’s highly gruesome and puke-worthy, but I won’t delve into the details of it.

在我看來，吃肉是合乎道德的，但只限於為了滿足最低限度的生存消耗，並且該肉類在人道的條件下飼養的。

1、許多肉食者聲稱，我們已經爬到了食物鏈的頂端，並且一直以來都是吃肉的，這是事實。畢竟，我們嘴裏的那兩顆犬牙不是無緣無故存在的。許多研究表明，人類可以靠全素飲食生存，但需要大量的身體調節和治療，而且那絕對不是符合自然規律的飲食。不過，如果你願意忍受缺少肉類帶來的所有麻煩和不便，那麼我並不反對。事實上，我對你為一個你幾乎不認識的生命而犧牲自己的行為表示尊重，這是非常了不起的，可以與匿名器官捐贈者相媲美。-

2、.然而，這仍然不能成為美國養殖業中存在動物虐待現象的藉口。很多吃肉的人沒有意識到這一點，但我真的不能責怪他們，因為當你在一個吃肉的社會長大，你不會質疑它，只會隨波逐流。大多數孩子都有這樣一種美好的印象：動物是在綠色牧場上飼養、屠宰、包裝並在超市貨架上出售的。但你有沒有問過自己，肉是怎麼養殖的？它是怎麼被宰殺的？當你看了諸如《地球公民》和《奶牛陰謀》之類的紀錄片後，你會發現事實真相，並意識到這其實並不光彩。這是非常可怕和噁心的，但我不會深入研究它的細節。 0

3. Therefore, I believe in the COMPLETE organic raising of farm animals. Not just fancy label you slap onto your product to attract more customers to buy it. I mean real organic farming. Like treat your animals like you would treat your pet. Feed it proper food. Groom it. Allow it to roam about with its offspring. Cure an infection if it has one. And when it comes to the moment, kill it quickly with a gun and never, I mean never, let it bleed to death. Do it away from its children, so the offspring will only be confused to find their mother gone. Then subsequently treat its offspring with even more care. I know it’s a lot of work, but if you wanna eat meat, you gotta do it (mind my literature skills).

4. We need to stop this segregation between livestock and pets. I’m not saying that we should suddenly eat dog meat, I’m just saying that we should treat all animals with the same amount of respect. Maybe like those Jainist people who literally swerve away to prevent themselves from stepping on a bug. If an animal dies, we don’t make an Internet meme out of it (*erhm* Harambe *erhm*) but really express our heartfelt condolences to it just like you would for your pet dog or people who lost their lives in action.

5. And we meat eaters need to stop attacking vegans/vegetarians on such a personal level. Most vegans aren’t like the Internet stereotypes. They don’t introduce themselves as vegans before mentioning their name. But even if they do, don’t take it too seriously. They’re not there to hurt you and shame you. They’re just really compassionate people who care for animals so much to the point that they would preach the subject to you at every single moment. Kinda like how you would mention dogs at any possible moment if you’re a dog lover.

So yeah. Hope that helped you. Peace :)

3、因此，我完全相信農場動物是有機飼養的。不只是一個花俏的標籤，為了吸引更多的顧客購買你的產品。我的意思是真正的有機農業。就像對待你的寵物一樣對待你的動物，適當地餵食，給它梳毛。讓它和它的後代四處遊蕩。如果它得病了，醫治好它。當它到了最後時刻，用槍迅速殺死它，千萬不要讓它痛苦地死去。讓它遠離它的孩子，這樣它的後代就會對它母親的不在而感到困惑。之後就會對它的後代更加上心。我知道這是一項繁重的工作，但如果你想吃肉，你必須去做（注意我的文字細節表述）。

4、我們需要停止對牲畜和寵物進行區別對待。我不是説我們應該吃狗肉，我只是説我們應該對所有動物都給予同等的尊重。也許就像那些耆那教徒會為了防止自己踩到一隻蟲子而繞道而行。如果一隻動物死了，我們要對它表示衷心的哀悼，就像你會為你的寵物狗或那些在喪生的人做的那樣。

5、而且我們肉食者需要停止攻擊素食主義者。大多數素食主義者跟互聯網上的刻板印象不同。在提到自己的名字的時候，他們不會將自己介紹為素食主義者。但即使他們這麼做，也不要太認真。他們不是來傷害你和羞辱你的。他們真的是很有同情心的人，他們非常關心動物，以至於每時每刻都會向你宣揚這個主題。畢竟如果你是個愛狗的人，你會在任何時候都提到狗。

所以希望這對你有所幫助。

Let us start with pigs:

Morally, I’ve been conflicted in the past. Ultimately, I concluded that, while highly intelligent, they have no other purpose than to be eaten. I’ve exhaustively considered it and, other than training them to be a dog substitute, I can’t think of a single thing they’d do, other than be served up on a dinner table. Even the role of kitchen garbage disposal is better taken by goats, who have the dual purpose of giving us milk and (thus) cheese.

If we all stopped eating pork, there’d be a massive wave of euthanasia across my rather large country. You think the farmers would altruistically have them spayed and neutered and live out their natural lives? No one could afford it. Pigs are already the traditional low-cost livestock, and last I heard, cattle ranchers aren’t exactly making a mint.

我們先聊聊與豬相關的：

在道德上，我過去一直很矛盾。最後，我得出的結論是，雖然它們非常聰明，但它們除了被吃掉之外沒有其他用途。我已經徹底考慮過了，除了訓練它們成為狗的替代品，我想不出它們會做什麼，除了被端到餐桌上。即使是處理廚房垃圾這樣的作用，山羊也可以更好地承擔，並且山羊還有提供產奶和奶酪的作用。

如果我們都停止吃豬肉的話，在我這個幅員遼闊的國家，安樂死的浪潮將會席捲全國。你認為農民們會無私地為他們做絕育手術，然後過上自然的生活？這樣的後果沒人能負擔得起。豬已經是傳統的低成本家畜，而且我最近聽説的是，養牛場的人實際上並沒有賺到錢。 0

I think, from a moral standpoint, we need to pass laws to ensure the humane treatment of livestock. And keep eating it.

(Subsidizing those ranchers, to make the necessary changes, would also be helpful.)

I’ll not go into the … potential propaganda of the militant vegans on precisely how these animals are dying: mistakes have been made, but ‘putting them to sleep’ could harm human health when we eat them. Them being the animals. The non-human animals.

What I mean is ‘free-range’ chickens and such. ‘Cage-free’ eggs. Cattle used to be ‘driven’ - they hoofed it to their seasonal food source. This was likely better for their brains, and potentially their bodies, than the current practice of, I believe, not doing so. And grass-fed beef is probably much healthier for human consumption, anyway. Grass is what the cows are supposed to be eating. DDT showed us that the food chain affects everyone, all the way up the ladder.

我認為，從道德的角度來看，我們需要通過法律來確保對牲畜的人道待遇。並且繼續食用他們。

（對牧場主進行補貼，同時進行必要的改革，這樣也會有所幫助。）

我不想探討那些激進的素食主義者對這些動物死亡方式進行的潛在宣傳：我們已經犯了錯誤，但當我們吃了它們時，“催眠它們”可能會損害人類健康。他們是動物而已，非人類動物。

我指的是“散養”雞，以及類似“無籠”雞蛋的東西。牛曾經被“驅趕”，他們將牛作為季節性食物來源。我認為，比起現在飼養方式來説，之前的方式對他們的大腦，甚至對他們的身體來説可能會更好。不管怎麼説，草飼牛肉對人類可能更健康。牛本來就應該吃草。滴滴涕殺蟲劑向我們展示了食物鏈會影響到所有人，一直到食物鏈的頂端。
