    Its considered disrespectful.

    The moral take of meat eating is that we respect the animals we kill to survive, and that we dont waste or belittle the animal just because its food.

    This is the reason local farms are “more ethical” than commercial farming, because theyre more likely to treat the animal with respect.

    Ramsey here is getting flack cause its kinda disrespectful to the living thing he is going to eat.

            You arent trying to not hurt the lambs feelings.

            You respect the animal because that respect is what keeps you from forgeting that the lamb is still a living, thinking, feeling animal even when its going to become food.

            When you respect your livestock, you feed them well, keep them groomed, treat them when sick, and keep them reasonably happy. You cant abuse your animals when you respect them.

            Obviously this doesnt mean ramsay is an animal abuser. Im sure he just thinks its a funny joke. In the right contexts, it usually is.

      I don’t think he can say anything that is comparable in disrespect to what happens in the average slaughterhouse (bad compared to ethically sourced meat? Sure, you could argue that)

        Ok, and? You dont respect someone by finding the person who respects them the least and setting your bar 1 notch above that.

      Respect is a human concept. It isn’t in nature and it’s just to make people like you feel better about the fact that life means you gotta kill something to keep living. At least food is delicious.

        The respect isnt to soothe the animals feelings.

        The respect is to make sure you dont forget that the animal is also alive and feeling, and you still need to treat it well even though it will become food.

        Its to keep forward in your mind that animal abuse is still abuse, even if the animal is meant for your dinner.

        Respect is, also, abundant in nature. For starters, you and I arent aliens. But respect is an almost required aspect of most social species communal interactions. Corvids, other primates, snakes in heat, bees, etc.
