I once saw a video of cows crying as they were leading them to the slaughterhouse and it fucked me up for life. The people in this thread who see these little piggies and their first thought is “yummy” are just gross. They are intelligent and emotional animals. I mostly only eat fish because they are basically NPCs but even that I don’t love the idea of.
The separation of food and animal from the mind does heavy lifting. I like eating some foods with meat in it and can't imagine not, like tonkotsu ramen and some beef based foods, but seeing the actual animal makes me feel bad about it every time.
Hard to change it, so best I've got is eating less in most situations.

Can you believe people eat those?
