Yeah, that's the part of this which is most upsetting for the lamb.

So the eating of the meat is okay, but joking about it is over the line?

Headlines often frame moments for shock, but context usually tells a much fuller story than a single clip or quote.

From the steak tree ofc.

Yeah outrageous! We have the animals transported, killed, slaughtered and packed behind closed doors so no one buying meat would have to feel guilty. This way the product has no affiliation to a living animal. Why would he do this, now Gen Z/A might think meat comes from animals. This will cost the meat industry money so he might end up with a horse's head in his bed.
We're still trying to figure out when/how/what it will be like when we teach our kid where her food comes from.
At the moment she likes to eat beef and shout "THE COW LOLA" (not at the same time). going to be fun when we tie the two together.
replies:
Well, I kinda get it. We can tell kids how babies are made, but we don't have to go into certain details or say "Sorry Timmy, Mommy and Daddy are going to go try to make a baby sibling for you now!"
There's also the perspective that we should value animal lives and appreciate that we are choosing to sacrifice them for our privilege of enjoying their meat.
But yeah, this is pretty silly "outrage".

Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

You guys don't look at live animals we eat the meat of the same way a fox looks at a chicken?
replies:
Funny how English has
"Beef", "Pork", "Lamb"
when in some languages its just
[The Word for the Animal]+[The Word for "Meat"]
Literally, your language influences how you think.
My "native" languages are Cantonese and Mandarin and I always knew where the meat came from, like its literally in the word itself. [牛肉，豬肉，羊肉]
replies:
Even if you do choose to eat meat you don't exactly have to be gleeful about the animals death.

I got into hunting specifically to bridge the gap - if I’m not willing to kill the animal myself, why am I ok eating the meat? Turns out I didn’t have any issues killing a couple deer, but sitting in a tree stand in the cold at 5am wasn’t quite my cup of tea.
yum
I can't fucking stand Gordon Ramsay. I grew up with an abusive stepfather. I think the difference is when the abuse is from one's actual parent, it starts earlier and is internalized as normal. My stepfather wasn't in the picture until I was five, so I already had an established personality, such as it is.
Is he the one who is slaughtering what he picks? Because making a show of it and having someone else kill it isn't so much better than a bunch of tweens pouting on social media. The tweens can at least claim ignorance
