  • Notably, maximization of animal suffering is a key element to both.

    It’s not literally that. Back when these methods were written down, they were thought as minimizing suffering because you had to make it quick. A non religious farmer who wouldn’t care could torture the animal for dozens of minutes by doing it carelessly while halal / kosher farmers would use proper methods

    Now technology evolved so there’s debate to be had but the initial intent wasn’t cruelty, quite the contrary









  • Can confirm, vegans are an ultra minority here.

    One explanation that I find interesting is that all the people who have the right mindset to go vegan in the US do find animal products that are produced by actual farmers in France. In the US that’s impossible from what I know. So basically if you hate cruelty you can buy chicken at the local farmer so you know they had an ok life before slaughter.

    I know that veganism has a definition of animal rights that go beyond “ethical farming” but veganism is also least present in the countries where people are actually confronted with animal death for consumption at an early age. The state of the USian food industry makes it so much more obvious to just cut animal products because they’re all produced so horribly
