This is an utter logical fallacy. There is no such thing as ethical treatment of animals used for food production, just as there is no such thing as ethical slaughter, ethical rape, or happy and humane slavery. No commodification of another body is ethical, nor should be tolerated.
You may be interested to learn that Heinrich Himmler, the Gestapo commander responsible for deaths of many people, ordered as a "more humane means" of execution the use of poison gas in specially constructed chambers disguised as shower rooms.

- matthewmacleod 11y agoThis is an utter logical fallacy. There is no such thing as ethical treatment of animals used for food production, just as there is no such thing as ethical slaughter, ethical rape, or happy and humane slavery. No commodification of another body is ethical, nor should be tolerated It's not a fallacy - we just don't agree on ethical boundaries. I'm completely comfortable, from an ethical standpoint, with animals being used for food production. Clearly that's a popular view globally. You may be interested to learn that Heinrich Himmler, the Gestapo commander responsible for deaths of many people, ordered as a "more humane means" of execution the use of poison gas in specially constructed chambers disguised as shower rooms. That's a cliché reductio ad Hitlerum. I'm not sure what your point is, aside from "bad people can do bad things*.
