Laws regarding the ethical treatment of livestock defines it as such. I don't think I've once voiced support for said laws. That I'm using the language of the two people at odds in this debate is just a matter of conversational conformity..lol. They have both decided to use the term brutal, and I don't feel like arguing for or against it....even if you do...so stop dragging me into your deep dark place, please.
With you on the stabbings though, now that I think about it, the whole sawing bit would take way too much effort on my part. Could probably let them die of old age as well.
'Ethical treatment' supposes there is such a thing... and yet it doesn't tell us what is ethical. Nonetheless, I apologize for being irritated with you for using the word 'brutal' for this petty violence. Instead I'll be irritated with the others for it ^_^
But if you let them live: they consume resources and have babies that consume even more that then have babies and... it has to stop. I don't like crowds.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
