        Fully agreed. Raise them and give then a real life. A good life. That's something I can always respect.

          Keep in mind the fact that many of the options provided do not involve the killing of the animals. I, personally, chose chickens for eggs. Also, the assumption that all farms hold their animals in inhumane conditions is insulting to many farmers who truly care about the well-beings of their animals.

          Every single living being on this planet is using another living being for its own profit. PERIOD. So basically, you're thinking that the whole planet is disgusting. Which is either trolling or stupid.
          You think were's equals? So if I drop you from the highest tower, will you fly like an eagle?
          We're not equals. We're different. Humans are smart. Birds can fly. Fishes can breath underwater.
          Go see a wild lion and tell him that you are "equals". Then prepare yourself for a free lion ride to destination fucked.

            Just because we are diffrent doesnt mean one is better than the other. We are equal to our neighbors. And ouf neighbors are equal to us.

            Creatures use each other for life following the path of nature. That's natural. The way we think of our brethren. The way we treat them is not natural its taught and its fucking disgusting.

              I've never said anything about being better. I've talked about being different and not equals.
              Nobody isn't equal to anybody. This is just unrealistically stupid and you know it. There's no better or worse overall. Just better or worse in certain areas.

              You're saying it's natural and the path of nature and then you're saying it's not natural and taught?
              You're contradicting yourself. Be clearer.

      My family’s business has always been rearing police and military horses. You have to absolutely love what you do to work with animals, because they know how you feel about them.

      Rearing animals is /draining/ on your bank account, especially high maintenance animals like horses. I love my horses with everything in me, they’re a lot like a business and survival partner.

      Never have I ever said something this lame before, but if I can recommend an anime, you should give Silver Spoon a try

      So you'd sell rabbit meat and hide? Sounds great.

    Rabbits have the most efficient meat to time ratio of all animals on this list. Let them breed raise the babies and kill em and make a nice stew.

    Apparently these days the cost of hiring someone to shear sheep is more than the value of the wool.

    Horsies, because that’s what I do anyway lol. I have chickens but make no profit off of them, I bought 6 sheep thinking I could make a couple extra bucks breeding and slaughtering them.

    The first batch of babies came and I named every single one. I’m too soft for the meat business lmfao

        A good bit of people are, they have big heavy bodies that they like to swing around, very possible to get hurt.

        But horses are careful, and they like their friends, so though accidents can happen you can be sure they weren’t meaning to harm you as long as you’re on their good side

    I used to raise chickens as pets and one of the perks was the free eggs, so if I had to choose, I'll choose that. XD
