It's a massive shame. It used to be one of the few quality UK newspapers, but they felt it had to turn into Buzzfeed to survive.
iirc they stopped the print side and sold the online business to an actual buzzfeed-esque company

I love beef, But I love animals more, treat animals with respect & love.
BitchySadElvenMermaid
did you know that beef is a dead animal that you claim to love
I love beef more than I love animals. That doesn't mean you can't treat them with love and respect.
Wholeheartedly agree
for people who haven't seen trigun, no he does not mean he doesn't mean it. LOVE AND PEACE
3rkk1
Slaughtering an animal because they taste good doesn't sound like loving and respecting treatment though?
Only have to die the last part of their lives, any additional disrespecting and harm is optional. An option that I feel should be averted
LilyAndLola
Why do you feel it should be averted?
Because it can be without giving up meat. Granted I would settle for lab grown or whatever if it tasted close enough.

This cow lived the goddamn dream, rejected society, broke out and went to live a secluded life by themselves on an island

ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
So are humans, but I prefer to be alone 99.9% of the time. I can and have gone years without a significant conversation, and enjoyed it.
If cows have personalities, it stands to reason some of them are introverts who just hate that herd bullshit
MistressLyda
And food, shelter, and reasonably clean water. Here is hoping she ends up on a rescue farm.
Yeah, but if that island was on a lake, she'd have access to water and we can assume there is some grass growing on the island. Maybe >
some large bush in which to hide.
Possible, but not overly likely. Winters are rough for a cow breed to be indoors at a farm.

you know beef is just tortured slaughtered cow, right

He is saying that if a cow does happen too escape we shouldn't chase it because it got away fair and square
and i am saying that eating beef is fucked up, its not fair at all, we breed them INTO captivity. literally a stacked game 4 humans
fair and square is native americans hunting bison. they knew moderation. modern day meat eating is absolute savagery.

AvadonyaTheSilverGrapefruit
so what ? true we kill animal because we like the taste at this point everyone know it we're not a perfect specie and that's okay
Who define what is better ? and would everyone be fine with this definition ? people can't change without a real leader that convince them.
Emberpaw
Eating an animal that has been raised kindly and put down in a humane way is a little different then being pro animal abuse
That animal would have an interest in continuing that kind of life, so eliminating that capacity of well-being from the future =/= humane.
If I raise the animal to eat I'm going to freaking eat them... He only live that kind of life because I gave it to him
skywards
Ah yes, so most people always buy fresh, organic, free-range meat and factory farms hardly stay in business, right?
So every single item that you've ever used and continue to use is totally animal free...right ... you don't eat marshmallows
That's right, I don't eat marshmallows or anything else that contains gelatin, but I don't object the continued use of older leather.
And no, of course I didn't live without using / eating animals my whole life, hardly anyone is raised vegan. I'm not even vegan now.
flapperfemmefatale
Agreed. Also, eating meat doesn't mean you can't care about how the animals are treated
Unnecessarily slaughtering an animal that would prefer to continue its existence doesn't sound like good treatment though.
TheKittenKnight
Exactly! My boyfriends family actually raises cows (and gives them an awesome life!) for milk and meat. Best steak ever, too.
itsybitsyspider
It's why I buy beef from a local owned farm. I have seen how they treat their cattle. They're spoiled rotten, kinda live better than me
WowSoSparkly
It means you know (even roughly) what happens to them, but you think your convenience trumps their basic right to live. Thats kind of worse.
But who says they have a basic right to live?
(Full disclosure: I don't believe in the concept of inalienable rights, for humans or any other living thing)
Plenty of people, since it kinda seems like the ethically consistent way to go about it:
I take exception with the first P2. Not saying it's the case for me, but I know many people who would say they value humans simply because 1
Also, just because I see something as having moral value, doesn't mean I think it has a right to life. I can see the moral value of feti 1

Look if something can stop you from eating it, it deserves to keep living.
