The carnist-compatible alternative is to just stop pretending to care about animal welfare.
It’s a consistent moral position to say “animals exist as my prey and their feelings don’t matter to me”, but it directly conflicts with this hypocrisy where we act like baby farm animals and dogs and cats are soooo cute, and then we conveniently ignore everything that happens on the farm and downstream because it doesn’t suit that narrative.
What drives me absolutely crazy is when people willingly say “I don’t like to think about where my grocery store meat comes from!” but continue to buy it.
Yup. Either come to terms with the fact that a sentient being had to die for this meal, or stop eating meat altogether.
It's actually why I'm getting into hunting now. I'm not taking a life for profit, like the slaughterhouses are. I'm taking a life for the food and materials it provides. And if I'm not comfortable killing with my own hands, I don't get to eat meat.
I really believe that buying meat at a grocery store is less ethical than hunting. If everytime someone wanted meat they had to kill an animal themselves, there would be a lot more vegetarians.
