Buy a cat a blanket or basket and it’ll just sleep on your lap, jumper, any clothes on the floor or in your bag or a box. Preferably anything warm they can’t be found easily or attacked in. Those beds that attach to radiators might pass royal cat approval though.

But you're coming from the position of eating meat being a non-negotiable. Slaughtering animals for our eating pleasure is animal cruelty...free range or not.

The whole world is cruel then. Well all omnivores.

There is a certain truth to this.

I think if we worked in a slaughter house a good percentage of us would be disquieted....probably me among them.

However nature is red in tooth and claw. The human being is a predator, as proven by forward eye placement, and we are designed to eat meat, as further proven by our teeth type.

This then becomes a question of where human thought and action should be in relation to nature. Obviously we work against it in relation to medicine and deforestation/human habitation....but we are living in an age where our rulers have moved far beyond those areas and promote many ideas that extend and work against nature.

One of them is this...the food that we eat.

On most questions I'm on the side of nature or as close to it as reasonable...however on this one I'm broadly sympathic, partly down to this specific argument. Bluejay points out that the reproduction of meat can be grown without slaughter and if that proves possible on a mass production scale I have interest there.

However there are economic problems with this....We employ masses of people within farming industries and there is a vast amount of land involved there as well. I'm not interested in harming people or persecuting them.

Also I'd be concerned that the movement against mass daily slaughter would then move along to persecuting hunters on private lands and those that hold out.....which I would consider that as going too far....and I'm wary of that because history is full of slippery slope realities so some protection is required in any change.

And I'm not going to eat bugs or have my diet dictated to....but replacements for mass slaughter....Like all peaceful positions it deserves a voice.

This was 2 years ago. I'm sure they have moved on a bit; maybe!
