Question: Would you rather eat a hamburger that came from a happy cow or a sad cow!?
I read a little sign at a restaurant the other day about how well they treated their cows!. Are the happy cows worse off because they have more to lose!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I saw or I still see adverts which shows how great the cows are treated, bathing, or given a bath!.!.!.!.luxury treatment all for a slab of butter!.!.so that sign you read never really makes a difference!. Are we happy or sad when we die!.!.!.at least we know if we are happy, sad or painful!.!.!.but these cows, or any animals have no voice!.!.or speech!.!.so!.!.!.its a very humane question, of which you already know an answer of!.

We can express sadness or happiness!.!.!.!.but the only thing that differentiates from a human to a cow or any animal is the silence it maintains!. The silence!. They cannot talk, the least is a sound!.!.!.!.which at the time of death lets us know they are dying!.!.!.!.so no!. We do eat hamburgers, but!.!.!.!.oh my god!.!.u just made my lose my appetite for hamburgers which I never anyway had!.!.!.!.!.but yes!.!.!.!.I have stopped hams or any nonveg for now!.!.!.thanks to u!.!.!.!.

thank u!.!.!.I cannot think of this as a philosophy question anymore!.!.!.you made me think something really hard!.!.thanks again!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think there is an option!. Would a cow that were slaughtered to be eaten by fashionable monkeys be happy to do so!? No way!. So, as it is dying it will be sad regardless of what happened before!.

The question is one of principles, as the cows will be eaten anyway!. Now, do we want to support the people who treat the cows well before they slaughter them, or do we want to support the people that treat the cows as if they are dead from they are born!?

And if we really had principles, we would all be man/woman enough to either slaughter the cow ourselves, or, stick to the world of vegetarianism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well let's put it this way, would you rather die after being happy your whole life or sad!? I would rather be happy during my time here on earth because death is inevitable!.

My cows are happy, free-range, and not a care in the world!. Feed lot cows have a unhappy, much shorter life and are fed so they become fatter quicker, and other such things that compromise the quality of the meat!.

You are what you eat so a happy cow for me please!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Feeling is real in its consequence !

if you believe in the ad, just go for the happy cow meat!.

For me, I would go for the tasty hamburger that with a reasonable price tag!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well it depends, Happy cows u Will find them in USA or Australia or Europe or Gulf Countries, Sad cows u will them in the 3rd world countries!. & if u r seaching for the tast !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. pepers & kuchup & cheese will make the job !!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nice!
I prefer burgers made from dead cows!.
Their sorrows and joys are history, and no longer relevant to the discussion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wouldn't eat a hamburger because it's barbaric!.

Enjoy :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Happy cows taste better!.

But if you season a sad cow correctly you just can't tell the difference!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think the cow would be very happy if I was eating part of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When put that way I would feel too upset to eat either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
