Hey you, there, no bringing facts into this. Never let the facts get in the way of deriding others in this thread.

"It tastes like chicken"

this is a slippery slope.
How do most homesteaders slaughter animals? I believe shocking the animal into unconsciousness with an electrical jolt is a bit cruel and beyond my capacity to inflict on an animal.
For factory slaughter houses, it's different, but if an animal isn't afraid of you, when you pick it up, it doesn't "fight for its life" because you're not a predator in their eyes.

Small scale personal farms are definitely the way to go for humanely treated animals. Perhaps the problem isn't the laws, but what the laws are intended to govern. I can't think of any large scale industrial farms that have animals that aren't afraid of their human caregivers.

I agree! We slaughter our birds with a gas that vets use to put them to sleep for surgery. We leave the birds in for a little longer and they die in their sleep. The meat doesn't get contaminated because it isn't a chemical has- completely natural! So much better than industrial techniques.

Most dairy farms I've been to seem to be pretty okay. Often the cows are like family members. I've only been to farms with ~100 milking cows max though.

they aren't cranked out specifically for slaughter. Happy cows produce more milk!


But you're also talking Finnland, which is in Europe, they have a much better attitude toward animal welfare than they do "here."

Yeah, cows have it pretty good here. Pigs and chickens aren't as lucky though... and turkeys are even worse. The transportation crates used for getting them to the slaughterhouse have been ruled illegal several years ago, but a lengthy appeal process keeps them in use still. They're way too small, but the whole chain of logistics is built around the measurements of the crates, so it would cost a lot to update them to regulations.
