I grew up on a farm.
We had goats we named and we’re sort of pets. And we had goats that we butchered and ate. No problem.

That’s not what they’re saying. Raising an animal for slaughter is not the same as raising an animal as a pet. People bond with their pets the way they bond with family members. Chickens and cows and goats might be loved right up until the day they are killed for food, but it’s expected that they will die and be eaten.
