I would feel a lot better about it if we treated cattle with existential respect while they gather for our consumption.

But capitalism does not do that to humans so hoping for mad cow respect in the US is about largely remembering about the fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle.

Just go buy your meat directly from a farmer that only raises a few each year and that lets the cows roam free, it's not impossible to buy meat that's much more ethical, you just have to accept the price that comes with it.

it's ethical because they name them before slitting their throats 🥰

No, but it is better since the animals get some quality life before we slit their throats.

Yeah sometimes I murder people but it’s okay because I treat them pretty darn well before doing so.

I hope you eat them afterward. That would be so wasteful if you didn't.
