That's not to say these animals shouldn't be treated as
humanely as possible while being raised and dispatched
as humanely as possible when their time comes.

So, are you saying that you should pay good money to a vet to ease their
passage into the next world? $100 could feed an African baby for about two
years. Would it not be better to put your sick pet into a weighted sack,
and throw it into the river, so that you could donate the $100 to an African
charity??

In other words, is three minutes of suffering for a dumb pet worth two
years of life for a human??
