Anesthesia for meat animals before physical violence to make them meat. From what I know, they are at best struck into their foreheads by a blunt metal rod, then throats slit. Sometimes the rod fails to nonconsciousate them, and the rod probably hurts much anyway, if only for a short duration.

Possible problems with anesthesia:

1.Costs some human workhours. Too much work to give mercy for innocents?

2.Stays in animals’ bodies and doesn’t disappear before eating? Seriously, no fitting anesthesia exists? Surely must…

3.What else? “They are not conscious enough!” — As little as FLEAS are conscious enough to learn! And to navigate in a complex world environment, much more complex to their body sizes than to humans the same!

 

Voltaire in his “Philosophical dictionary” defended animal rights (topic: “Animals”, from eg Project Gutenberg). Leonardo da Vinci bough pigeons to give them freedom again. Jesus ruined many humans’ feelings in the Temple plaza by freeing animals. Gandhi was a vegetarian. So on.

But why eat meat?

1.Maximization of physical including mental performance. Why? Cruel world, got to stay competitive. The West isn’t as little as competing in child birthing, giving seeding rights to anyone while requiring no such return rights from those anyone’s nearer family females. So no talk about competitive requirements; only soldiers in dangerzones should eat meat if it maximizes performance.

So make meat eating, if required by others, into “y per x time” if health concerns; get permission to eat meat only once in x time, to maintain some required vitamins supposedly not gained from other sources of food.

2.Too poor to afford plant_only food. This is unfortunate…

3.Better grow pigs, cows, chickens, etc, than let them go extinct; better to be eaten than go extinct.

This takes me to another related topic:

Cannibalism: “We are what we eat” AND: “What we eat becomes what we are”:

Eaten food becomes humans; the food’s particles become human, including becoming parts to our brainconsciousnesses. SO: If unavoidably died humans are eaten by humans, the food’s part_consciousnesses*1 become humans faster than if worms etc ate them, and faster yet than if they’d be cremated to ash (which is instant burning Hell to cells, vs slower rotting with less pain intensity.

Ecologically and efficiently, the moral order of how to handle (naturally) dead humans seems to be (without ever killing humans on purpose of eating their meat, which by year 2019’s moral standards should not happen anyway):

1st.Cannibalism. The humans’ parts become humans faster. Less killing of meat animals required. And more various meat available…!

2nd.Outdoors rotting and scavenger food. Larger lifeforms get energy, and better to become a bird or a worm, than if:

3rd.Cremation. The dead body becomes gas and ash, ash becomes plant food, becoming planteater food, becoming meateater food, becoming humans in part % eventually. But much energy is wasted by transformation into these smallest possible “lifeforms” existing as ash.

*1 = Part consciousness = 1 mind = 100 billion brain cells + 29 900 000 000 000 body cells = so much more of smaller part consciousnesses = continues all the way “down” to smaller and smaller particles, which all seem alive enough to know Somethings about their surrounding environments. So ALL is alive to SOME degree; most don’t care whether they go into human stomachs. Brainy creatures care.
