If you believe that all( ANIMAL ) life is equal, do you believe that all death is equal?

I'm against factory farming. When possible, I get my meat from wild game, or local farmers who love and respect their herds/flocks. I'm also a broke college student, so such ethical high ground is a luxury.

I believe that all suffering is equal and therefore we should do all we can to avoid it or minimize it regardless of species. Life preservation when having the choice.

A plant based diet is not more expensive than a meat based one. Veggies are cheaper than meat.

To produce yes. To consume, if you're lucky. Again, you show your privileged upbringing and viewpoint.

And you didn't answer my question about death.
