See, it's like eating a pet. If I tried to do this, it would become a pet for sure.

I knew exactly where behind it's little horns it liked to be scratched. It would run up to me like a little puppy

Mechanizoid

And how do you get them there?

I mean, taking cows to Mars? Srsly? He argued they could eat inedible parts of food crops, but why not just compost it?

Man, killing a fucking lamb... It could just go 'baa' with their doe-y looking eyes that'll make me go "Fuck it, you are now a pet!"

There was a guy on Centauri Dreams a while back who was an agronomist. He wanted to take pigs and cows to Mars to slaughter for their meat lol

mostly to really respect life

Amit Dutta

It taught me a lot of things actually....

13 Jul 21:05

Amit Dutta

I will make the switch for sure...the pressure is building

13 Jul 21:05

On the other hand, I agree totally that it is waaaay better to be honest about where your meat comes from.

13 Jul 21:04

Amit Dutta

exactly

13 Jul 21:04

Mechanizoid

It's a personal choice, but one I personally don't feel comfortable with.

13 Jul 21:04

Amit Dutta

But every thing you buy off from the supermarket suffers a way worse fate, and I try not to think about that too much when I do

13 Jul 21:04

Mechanizoid

I know I wouldn't enjoy it

13 Jul 21:04

Mechanizoid

I'd be like so freaked out if a girlfriend wanted to raise a pig or something for meat lol

13 Jul 21:03

Amit Dutta

Not far wrong. Didn't cry, but man it was not easy. I couldn't be there when they took her away

13 Jul 21:03

Mechanizoid

more like a difference in how you feel about things like that

13 Jul 21:03

I'm imagining Amit crying over lamb with conflicted emotions..

13 Jul 21:03

Amit Dutta

oh yeah all good, didn't think so

13 Jul 21:03

Mechanizoid

well I didn't mean in a judgement way

13 Jul 21:02

Amit Dutta

I realise this is a personal choice

13 Jul 21:02

Amit Dutta

No

13 Jul 21:02

Mechanizoid

i mean I try to keep an open mind

13 Jul 21:02

Mechanizoid

did this change how you felt about each other?

13 Jul 21:02

Amit Dutta

I have to say it was the best lamb I ever had...but that doesn't help :/

13 Jul 21:02

Amit Dutta

it was her idea

13 Jul 21:02

Mechanizoid

If we can grow animal meat, why not do it with human meat?

Amit Dutta

Actually my ex at the time was a kiwi, and they love killing stuff
