A bit extra tortured during slaughter, you mean?
I don't know I wasn't there. But if animals are not slaughtered
for meat and other by-products they would overpopulate and die of starvation. Animals know nothing of birth control, all they do is
eat and reproduce.
Generally true, albeit when we farm raise them their proclivities
for reproduction get managed tightly.
Yes.That is called animal husbandry and is scriptural in origin: https://www.facebook.com/aigkenham/posts/god-gave-man-dominion-over-creation-genesis-126-including-over-the-animalsthis-d/1372132797606905/

That's bizarre logic. Do you really think all those cows would be
there waiting to be slaughtered if youse weren't going to eat them
all?
Do you think cows, deer, moose, goats, etc. would hold a meeting and
all agreed not to breed as they know they'd starve to death due to
over grazing? In the wild there are predators such as wolves,
mountain lions, and bears that help keep the wild herds under
control and prevent over grazing. In the settled areas there are
farms and ranches that keep the domestic animals under control and
benefit from the products those animals produce while alive and
after death.
So in short, you say: It's a good thing we eat cows, otherwise there
would be way too many of them.
But the truth is: The reason why there are so many cows is that we
breed them because we eat them.

Which brings up the deep, deep philosophical question.
Would you like to be alive for a little while or never been born
at all?
If I'm never born, I won't be suffering either.
But what surprises me the most is that Joan thinks we're doing the
planet a favour by eating all these animals that would otherwise overpopulate the planet.
You'd rather see them starve to death for lack of grazing area than
eat them??

The Chinese are not "most people on this planet". Population
of China is 1.41 billion; world population is 8.3 billion.
China isn't even close to half.
My son went to see this comic tonight. It was an Asian
comedyfest. I think the guy is funny but I'm never going to stick
my head in a concert hall again.
So when you're wrong you just change the topic. Does that mean you
saved your face or does it only make you look more wrong?
It works for uncle Bruce, don't it?
Does he change the topic when he's wrong?
