If you think of yourself as the food animal, you get a better perspective I think. If you could choose between being a red deer of a gersey cow, which would it be? The red deer gets to live it's entire life, free as a bird. You can go where you want, eat where you want, drink where you want, mate with who you want as often as you want, fight who you want and if you are quiet and sneaky, maybe you'll get to die of old age, or if you are unlucky, a supersonic bullet will drop you on the spot and that will be all you know. The cow on the other hand, is genetically engineered to be food, lives it's entire life enclose in buildings or fenced in fields, often doesnt mate, or mates only under certain circumstances, you get to eat steroid enhanced food pellets and then without any doubt, marched into a shed where you are hung from you hind legs and have a bolt blasted into your brain.
If you were that food animal, and this was your life, which is the most sick and twisted?
