Just a question. Since when did animal welfare outcomes come to mean quick death?
If we referred to social welfare as the process by which disadvantaged people were put to a 'humane' death would we feel the same way?
If dozens of people get on a plane and die before getting to their destination because of a crash there are outrages and reports and commentary and headshaking.
When thousands of animals are put on a ship to disembark only to be killed for their flesh, only when it is done in a slovenly and cruel manner is it even reported. And even then it is commentated upon, by some, as outside the norm and an isolated occurrence.
But when a plane goes down why isnt it commentated upon as an unusual incident or nothing to be concerned about because it is not a systemic problem.
Worth thinking about and worth thinking about why?
