"I think it is time we stopped using the term 'animal' when referring
to the precursor of the meat that ends up on our plates. Animals are
things we keep in our homes and watch on David Attenborough programs.
'Animals' bred for consumption are crops and agricultural products
like any other. We do not, and cannot, provide adequate welfare for
these agricultural products and therefore welfare should be removed
entirely."

Kinda illustrates what I've been saying. For more than 100 yrs. the
term 'livestock' has been used by rural agriculturalists to describe
'animals bred for consumption' and to contrast them with wild animals
and pets, but apparently this guy, and the people/culture around him,
have no clue.
