animal behaviorists have tried to gauge whether animals understand that they ,themselves, might die. they call it understanding “personal mortality” and, as far as I’m aware, they have not been able to prove do understand personal mortality
To be fair a butcher usually isn’t killing the animals. I’m not sure that you could say a butcher contributes much to animal suffering. You could argue its part of the meat industry so its all bad, but its not the butchers fault that people want to buy it.
As an atheist vegan, those two things aren’t even remotely equivalent. “I go to church on Sunday” isn’t the same as “My job is hacking apart animals”.
The cruelty and suffering decreases the flavor slightly & I would prefer hacked up animals that had a good life before intervention.
I think that the animals would prefer to not be dead.

I am an animal and I would prefer to be dead so idk about your point 100%.
I think you replied to the wrong comment

I didn’t say that they contributed to animal suffering. I said that they hack apart animals.
From a vegan standpoint, I dont see how a dead animal can suffer more.
I never said anything about suffering.
Well this was an underwhelming conversation, if you could call it that. Have a nice day.
