What is the “humane” way to kill?
Is the humane way to kill an animal the same way one would humanely kill a toddler without consent of the parents or child?
If not why not, when we consider animal have at least the intelligence, will to live, social connections and capacity for suffering as children?
- jacobr1 4y agoTwo factors: 1) Humanely raised 2) Efficiently killed (done quickly with limited/no pain). One can argue the cruelty of eating animals regardless - but there very much is a difference between tightly caged factory farming, pumping animals with medicine constantly because the conditions keep them sick all the time, and raising animals in a healthy environment.

Interesting wording. > If not why not, when we consider animal have at least the intelligence, will to live, social connections and capacity for suffering as children? When we will be able to ask for that kind of a contest? PS. I know, animals has some signs of intelligence. But for me this measure of intelligence is not enough for not willing to eat it. And referring to parent poster, I really think there is some ethics in eating only those meat which has been killed by me, but I only have a chicken farm when I want to eat not only chicken.

- int_19h 4y agoHalal slaughter is certainly not the most humane way to kill animals; it optimizes for religious taboos on consumption of blood more so than lack of suffering. For the latter, you really want to target the brain directly if at all possible.
