Having grown up on a ranch, yes I know cows are smart... chickens not so much. It does not change my views on eating beef at all.

Cows are treated very well in all the ranches I've been on. One because it makes them taste better, another because we about our livestock.

Your alternative is them not existing at all, they cannot survive in nature.

The cow does not know it's going to be slaughtered.

It lives a nice happy life roaming the fields, on the last few days it goes to processing to eat a massive last great meal.

It's the nicest form of us being eating our prey.
