    Is it more cruel to kick a dog or to cut its throat?

    To be fair, it’s culturally very normalized to just buy meat and not think about how the animal was treated at all. But I also think people who are genuinely opposed to animal cruelty would agree that cutting their throats is a very cruel thing to do (aside from the treatment on factory farms).

    Meat eaters usually lie somewhere between

    • “I’ve never thought about how the animals I eat were treated”
    • “I’d rather not support that but I’ve not managed to break the habit yet”
    • “I’m fine with it if I don’t have to see it”
    • “I don’t care”

    The first two aren’t animal abusers imo, but the last two are.
