Against In-Vitro Meat?
Sustainable-farming advocates seem to be against synthetic or
“in-vitro” meat, which in the near future might be widely available.
These in-vitro meat would not only alleviate tremendous animal
suffering but could help restore the health of the environment as
currently factory farms pollute the air, soil and water aside of
depleting Earth of resources. Why the opposition? James McWilliams
on The Atlantic’s food blog says that "The politics of meat is the
politics of self interest — no matter what side of the debate one is
on — and, as is always the case, everyone’s interest is fiercely
protected except that of the animals,"... "Without these small
family farms, and without animals being humanely raised to be
slaughtered, the movement’s turf would shrink."

Who's Afraid of Fake Meat
Small-family farmers voice that they care about their animals;
however, they still cause intentional suffering to them by
mutilating their bodies without pain-relief (tail-docking,
castration, etc.) and slaughtering them while young and healthy.
Caring involves deep respect and compassion that should lead us to
allow God’s animals to enjoy their God-given rights in peace and
justice on Earth.
