Hindus probably think the same about our penchant for beef. Lacking any rational basis for why such is actually a bad practice, it's all based on cultural norms and perceptions, and no different than an appeal to tradition

Other than the fact we at least humanely kill our cows, or are supposed to anyways.
I take it it you're absolutely unfamiliar with what goes on in your average slaughterhouse?

Whether they follow it or not my point has been that the ideal is for there to be little pain for the animal, and I have little respect for those that wouldn't enforce such laws.
In my opinion anyone not enforcing such laws should get fucked by a chainsaw.
Are you aware of regulations relating to slaughterhouses?
yes, are you aware of the difference between regulation and actual enforcement?
Also, I suggest reading up on the recent SC case concerning downer animals in California, or the fact that many commercially produced species do not fall under humane slaughter regulation (chickens being a big one)
PS you're likely talking about Upton Sinclair's jungle, but that mainly concerned health and safety issues for the worker and consumer(mainly the later), not humane treatment

Because I don't feel like throwing my life away to do so? The chances of getting caught to do the kind of things i'd want to do them isn't worth it.
Just because i was nothing but pain and suffering upon corrupt people doesn't mean I'm going to throw away my mostly awesome life just to stop them? Plus once I'm older I can always do the whole "protest/enter politics/etc..." kind of stuff to try to stop it (or just wait until there is an easier way to accomplish my desires that wouldn't land me in jail).
Isn't your ideal rather meaningless (and superficial) if it only exists on a piece of paper, and with the sole intent of making you feel better while you snuggle up to that baconator?
I mean, if the issue is animal cruelty, and the meat processing and commercial farming industry is notorious for such, you should be disavowing such products, right? Otherwise it seems your disgust is more based on not seeing dolphin as a traditional food and driven by how cutsie they are
