Are these farmers keeping their cows and chickens in the house with them as pets?Not necessarily...is it insensitive for a farmer who has cattle to eat a hamburger? Or somebody who keeps a free range chicken/turkey/other poultry flock in their backyard to then eat the pullets that are born from those birds and raised for food? Part of life as an omnivore is that you can have emotional attachments to animals and still have an understanding of their place in the food chain, just as we have one too. They are not exclusive from each other.
Isn’t that the difference, farmers have livestock and actors have pets until they get bored.
