McDonalds to roll out new 'McPlant' faux meat patty next year

What was the point when I'm not associated with PETA, am not defending PETA and I'm not following PETA?

I was making the point that the same dumb ass group that protests Mario games has publicly supported a method of killing animals.

I mean, I already told you the point.

You have to kill more chickens than you can sell for consumption

No you don't, you kill more chickens than you can sell for human consumption. Pet food exists. Or just use them in fertilizer. Bloodmeal and bonemeal also exist.

Would you not consider that excessively cruel?

Wasteful maybe, but not cruel.

Euthanasia is killing while doing that being a favor

Most of the time. The rest of the time they're putting down healthy dogs and cats purely because no one adopts them. Unless it's cruel for wild animals to exist, a stray cat living in the same conditions as a racoon isn't exactly horrific suffering.

That's completely incorrect. Indifference towards suffering?

Depends on the dictionary or definition you use.

So if I get aroused for burning a dog alive

That's malice and makes it a form of torture. And even then, not inherently wrong. I really hope I don't need to start explaining BDSM culture.

extremely unkind and unpleasant and causing pain to people or animals intentionally

Cutting head of a chicken with an axe or other blade seems to fit that description quite aptly.

Setting a broken bone is unpleasant and intentionally causes pain too. So does swatting a fly. Either way, I refer back to "kill them as painlessly as possible."

Since all animals we farm are able to subjectively interpret what's being done to them and they can feel the pain and want to avoid it

Ok. And? Like I said, just do it as painlessly as possible.

if we look at it from their perspective.

If we look at it from their perspective, we'd see nothing more than an instinctive aversion and lack of moral agency.
