PETA is ‘angling’ for the same treatment here. With the under-education of our youth, too many think that groceries appear in stores by ‘magic’! Add the on-going arguments concerning the effects of animal husbandry on the climate and you have a near-religious movement in progress! Kind of makes me glad I am the age that I am now!

These same people deny children in the womb can feel pain.
I got my daughter (years ago) some sort of sealed globe filled with water and 4 to 5 sea shrimp. It was pretty cool to watch (they are perhaps 1/8 inch long).
In searching where to buy them there were plenty of articles on how inhumane it was to trap sea shrimp and stick them in a globe.
I told my daughter “Well, maybe. But hey - they could still be out in the ocean where tomorrow they would be sucked up by a blue whale or something!”
Humans and animals eat animals. Animals would gladly eat humans. They want us to stop eating animals. After that, they will want us to stop eating plants because “plants have feelings.”

Does anyone hear the cries of carrots when they are viciously pulled from the ground and separated from their peers? The skin will sometimes be peeled from their dainty little body and if that isn’t enough, they are cut into slices. What has this vegetable done to anyone to deserve dismemberment in this fashion? Who speaks for the carrots?
