No I agree, but a ‘farmed’ cow nowadays is full of antibiotics and bares little resemblance to what a cow looked like 1000’s of years a go, we’ve modified too much imo.

Yes we have,i have been a veggie since the early eighties and I am not at all surprised humans never learn not to fuck with natureThat’s not my point, it’s the fact they think one is better than the others.
As for your pandemic argument.....
Mad cows disease
Salmonella
Bird flu
Swine flu
I’d say we’ve dodged a bullet a couple of times ourselves.

Nothing like a wet market though,nothing like itThere’s countless examples of unsanitary conditions in the west and England in terms of animal agriculture

It probably bares more resemblance than you think, it’s likely very close but I get your point.
It’s the same argument with chlorinated chicken though, the risks to health are minimal.

I’ll have no risk at all mate thankful but I do get where you’re coming from.It probably bares more resemblance than you think, it’s likely very close but I get your point.

Each to their own at the end of the day, I feel miles better health wise because of the change and that’s the only evidence I can go off.

It’s all about scale, if you compare anything in Europe to a Chinese Wet Market you get a very different level of unsanitary condition.
No one can tell me that eating a farmed cow is the same as eating a wild bat.
I know, they’re not. That doesn’t make the cow good, comparing it to something like eating bats. It doesn’t justify it

There’s risk in everything really, every pint you drink is more risky than a bit of chicken but I get your point and fair play to you.
I’ve got nothing against anyone eating anything that’s within the law.

I always find it ironic that we’ll consider the eastern cultures eating habits, dog, bat, etc gross, yes we see fuck all wrong with eating cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. Each to their own but why anyone thinks one animal is ‘better’ than another I find bizarre.
Yep.
And yet if humans were kept in cramped conditions, and forced down lines to their deaths, all whilst hearing their peers' screams....jesus, doesn't bear thinking about.
for some reason, we think animals don't feel that fear.
I ask again, what makes us so fucking special? Why are 'we' 'better' than animals?

It is good though.
Anyway, my post was in direct response to that point.

At the risk of causing another argument I don’t think chickens have a clue that’s happening.
