When a chapter so cold the chat room goes cold...

My hot coco have become ice block coco (╥﹏╥)

 

[Serkket]

A really touching chapter, got me thinking about when I first found out about how animals are turned into food as a kid.
I suppose like with everything in life we come to terms with it after some time. To all the lives sacrificed, Itadakimasu.

omnivore apologia 🙄

I hope I see that hot farmer again in a future chapter

 

[Kwijo]

This chapter got a bit preachy for my taste. Still a cute manga.

 

[Glomoro]

@Kwijo I don't really see it. Preachy sounds a bit strong to describe this, even if you say "a bit." What was it that stood out to you?

 

[MrKawaii]

That tenticle head part was

I'm sure Chihiro will imprint that weak spot in his mind.

nom nom.. mm.. edible hair

If ya'll are interested in the farm theme, would highly reccomend Gin no Saji. It's completely agriculture based and has an entire arc about emotional attachment with the animals meant to be slaughtered. Was pretty good until the ending was rushed. Big sad. Still an awesome manga. Hard to find very many themed manga such as that one.

I've always found it super weird that most people aren't able to ...what, 'accept' the idea of eating animals you've raised yourself. Like, I spent a fair bit of my youth living on a farm, helping raise pigs -eventually even helping process them when it came time to cull them for meat.

As far as I'm concerned, my uncle gave them a good life, me and my cousins loved them as well, fed them in person, played with them, sometimes even took them on walks (pigs are actually quite like dogs in terms of behavior, just much, much larger). Yeah, we kill them, sure, but ...that's why we raised them, and if not us, surely someone else, somewhere else would have raised pigs regardless. In far, far less loving conditions.


...then again I also just have a particularly nihilistic view on life in general that amounts to, "if everyone's gonna die eventually, enjoy what time you've got left", so I guess it makes sense that I'd be more okay with it than most.

moo

I think it's better to be raised in a farm grazing all day without worrying about anything and be killed in a painless way instead of desperately trying to find food everyday and be killed by a predator in the most painful way. Well it really depends on what your perspective of life is.

 

[Jelly_Storm]

@LittleLovableLoli
City folks only interactions with animals is pets and vermin so they categorise animals like that.

 

[KipTheGamer]

Nice.

 

[Mr_Stizblee]

I wonder how she'd feel if she went to a factory farm instead of a glorified tourist attraction?

 

[Grimmycoffee]

Yeah, this would probably a drastically different experience if it's those more brutal factory types.


*It just occured to me, do Eppyaven's people have grass on their head as a bait for beasts? If so, they're even more hardcore than I thought.

 

[deleteTF]

Don't show them meat factories and industrial farms. No love for animals there.

 

[PyroclasticFlow]

it's odd that there was no discussion of "if you don't want to eat animals that's fine too". not like as a value judgement, though there's an argument to be made for that, but simply as an option for preferences

instead it was expressed as "well you HAVE to eat animals so you should be grateful to them for it, no option other than breeding and raising them for food"

especially for an alien race that doesn't even have to eat in the first place...
