Ranchers are breeding animals for food. Humans are omnivorous, and it relieves us of the burden of hours of hunting. Elephants are not poached for food, they are poached mainly for their tusks. One could reason that this is an egregiously unnecessary waste of one of the most intelligent species on Earth.
- aianus 11y agoWould you rather have a normal life and be shot for your teeth as an adult or grow up your whole life in a cage being force-fed and end up shot for your meat anyways?
- disordinary 11y agoNeither. Society is changing, at least in the West, eventually all animals will be treated humanely and reared in conditions that are not only better for the animal physically but allow them to interact and socialise as they would do in the wild, and therefore its better for them mentally.
