I am now at the point where all of my meat is purchased by the whole or half animal from humane and sustainable local farms. If you don't do the same you are literally a garbage human being.

Every year I buy a half hog a side of beef and two lamb during slaughter season. I then purchase poultry as needed. Using a chest freezer for storage is really easy and it is pretty economical. I am driving to pick up my pork this weekend.

I am spending 100 dollars on a pasture raised turkey for thanksgiving this year. I have personally inspected the farm that I am sourcing it from and have confirmed that they treat the animals humanely (no beak trimming etc.). It is worth the extra 85 dollars to ensure that I am not contributing to animal torture.

Do you use any type of medication? Perfume? Deodorant? Or have you personally inspected all the labs for those products before purchasing?

How does it feel to contribute to the wholesale torture of animals?

You could be a better human being by spending a little time researching humane local farms to support. I only had to spend around 8 hours total finding a good place to purchase my aforementioned turkey (this includes driving time for the visit as well as online research, a conversation by telephone with the proprietor, and the time for reading/writing email correspondence).

Yes. Please find me a source for local, craft, humane medication and I will switch. It is about doing what can be done.
No. I have a dick. I do use craft, local made cologne though
Yes. I source my deodorant from someone who craft makes it in my area
No. I have been to the house of the person who makes the deodorant and cologne to ensure that everything is on the up and up.

can't tell if you are serious or not, but if an animal is going to die anyway who cares, in the end it's still dead, and it's death fed a human, unless they let it sit in the fridge too long then it died to get thrown in the trash. food animals aren't pets they exist just to die.

I like going to the butcher. It's totally an awesome time and get good quality meat. But I usually get it from the grocery store, OP. I live in an area fortunate enough to have HEB stores. And their meat is decent!

Butchers are awesome but in America they are going the way of arcades. Just nobody goes anymore so they all shut down.

Butchers are just a middleman between you and a farmer. Best is to purchase directly from a farmer as you are supporting them and ensuring that they stay in business. My pork, lamb and beef come from a USDA slaughter facility (has to be done this way legally in the US). I have checked the two that I know my suppliers use and they are relatively low volume and have humane slaughtering practices. I have spoken with many of the workers there to ensure that the owners of the business pay them fairly and do not violate any safety protocols. Poultry doesn't have to be slaughtered as a USDA facility so this is done normally on the farm itself.

Does it matter if a human being is abused since they will just die someday anyway? I am not sure I understand your argument.

I can assure you that I am not even the slightest autistic. I just happen to have a moral compass. Sorry that you don't?

Cool NIN Shirt posted:

Half hog = around 500 dollars including slaughter/butcher/smoking/packaging
Side of beef = around 800 dollars including above but no smoking
lamb = around 160-180 each including above but no smoking
turkey = around 100 dollars per 16 - 18 lb bird
chicken = around 15 dollars per 4 lb bird

I probably get around 15 chickens per annum so total is about 2000 USD. I live in the metro Boston area.

Every once in awhile some random guy wanders into our office (Small office, no receptionist, we don't use the keycards because the owner got pissy with it one time and unplugged it) and asks if we want to buy meat. Out of a freezer in the back of his pickup truck.

How is this a business? Who the gently caress buys meat from a stranger out of their pickup truck?

I have heard about this but never seen it. I think it is more of a southern thing. Which kind of answers the question.

There was an episode of Lucy in which she buys a bunch of meat at a really cheap price. Pretty much in the same way, and then realized it's waaay too much and goes to sell it with a trench coat on. Pretty much like a drug dealer

I was vegetarian for 17 years (age 17 - 34). I think that my biggest gripe was with the "less than humane" treatment of animals throughout the life cycle and that I have pretty well addressed this through my choices.
