    Nothing wrong with farming, slaughtering and consuming animals. It’s as natural to humans as it is to lions. We’re omnivores, we eat a bit of everything and that has made us the creatures we are today.

    I appreciate some don’t want to do it but you need to understand that a personal decision and there’s no need preaching to others because you made that decision. You do your thing and let others do wit they decide.

    Remember it’s a fascist trait to want to make everyone believe and act as you do because you think it’s somehow better. That’s how Hitler started his campaign, and I see many extremist vegans behave the same online threatening harm and death on farmers and meat eaters.

    I actually don’t know how long it takes to go from a live and kicking cow into a burger

    Probably a day when they have taken the good meat and then sweep the leftovers up and use that to make burgers.

    The equivalent of a horror movie for a vegan is a David Attenborough documentary.

    Sir David has more or less given up meat over the past few years; not for ideological reasons but because he's just gone off the taste of it.

    He also says he is not an animal lover but someone fascinated by them.

    "Animal lover means sentiment; a cloying, anthropomorphising sentiment. I don't love earth worms or spiders. They're rivetingly interesting and they give me huge intellectual pleasure. And aesthetic pleasure, I suppose. But that's a different thing altogether."

    They mostly only take old cull cows, that’s not really the business end of things. You’d see when large events like World Cup come along the price for old cull cows goes up to meet demand.

    Anywhere from instantaneous to weeks, depending on the purchaser. 3 weeks is about optimum for my preference, once the animal is old enough.

    I have a 21 month heifer waiting to be killed but the butcher can only hang for 2 weeks so it'll end up being rather bland. I should wait for a month for the space to open up but she's over fat as it is.

    Suppose the massacre has already begun this morning
    You really shouldn't be getting yourself all worked up. Why don't you go and have a nice nut cutlet or a quorn burger for your tea? Me; I've got a nice piece of steak on a low light, accompanied by a couple of potatoes and bit of fried onion. Lovely.

    Using the word 'murder' always ruins any sympathy in these matters. A. The killing is not of a human being and B. Is not illegal.

    Do we murder carrots when we chop them? Are 12 million tons of sardines murdered every year? Using emotive language loses a huge chunk of your audience immediately

    The usual tree hugging gob****es
