Bought a some cattle at auction and put them on my parents property. I fed apples all spring to a steer. It was just about as docile as a puppy. Then I called butcher. I fed it some hay and while it was distracted we shot him in the head, dropped him in less than a second. The butcher than cut him into sides and trucked the meat in to be cut up and ground up. The meat is delicious. I think those apples I fed him must have helped tenderize the meat. Lean, organic, literately from the farm and tasty. I respect livestock and enjoy it's fruit.
I know where meat comes from because I've harvest it. I've cut the heads of chickens, plucked them, and cooked them. I've helped ground up deer into venison burgers. Animals eat each other, people are animals too. Nature is brutal inhumane and full of pain and suffering. I always try to be as humane as possible. I take care of my livestock and keep them happy and when it's time to harvest I do it fast so they're dead before they could feel anything.
The problem is people today don't want to have anything to do with meat production. Because society has washed their hands of it, corporations have taken over and they care more about money than humane harvesting practices. If you get your meat from a local, family owned farm the animals will have been properly care fore and humanely treated.
