I spent the past day unsuccessfully searching for plausible arguments against veganism. The strongest argument I found stated that a person could eat only humanely raised animals. Still, raising humanely raised animals seems prohibitively expensive to me.
Here is an example. Suppose that a farmer decides to humanely raise a pig for slaughter. I will call the pig Kelsey. Kelsey needs lots of prime real estate to roam freely. Kelsey would need regular visits from a veterinarian to make sure he is healthy. Kelsy would also need a clean comfortable home, good quality feed and of course a nonviolent pain-free death in his natural environment.
Kelsey probably would not even taste that good anyway. He would be too difficult to chew because he has strong muscles. He would also taste strange because he probably ate some stuff in the natural environment. Kelsey would be a delicacy for the most decadent connoisseur.
Still, I am not sure if we could find a SINGLE humanely raised pig in the United States. Maybe they exist on the same farm that raises humane unicorns. But, seriously, if anyone can find a single example of humanely raised pigs, please let me know. I will email you a gift certificate for Starbucks. (Seriously!)
Below is a picture of Step 2 Humanely Raised Pigs. I am willing to bet that these guys end up eating their own feces half the time.
