    Many reasons but this could have been avoided if they culled the whole beef supply when it was first detected

          just asking if you’d volunteer to stand in blood, shit, and mud all day slashing throats. you just seem to suggest such a “solution” so readily.

            So the same as a butcher, or were you disillusioned to them meeting the same fate regardless

            However for a cull, slitting throats would take far too long. It’s not like we need them to be halal. For cows you would likely use poison feed (asphyxiation isn’t practical due to size)

              For smaller animals heat suffocation has worked well, takes a few days but no extra work.

            So you’re against it on the basis that it’s unpleasant.

            That’s not a logical position that’s just an emotional one. Just because you don’t like the answer doesn’t mean that it isn’t the correct answer. Also I don’t think they need our help, they’re perfectly capable of culling the animals on their own, since they already do, The cows are food stock after all.

              you are so right, setting up these conditions all over the planet is the only logical way to feed a population, I’ll try to be less hysterical.
