so if a pitbull's jaw locks when it's biting its victims is there like a combination the owner has memorized or is it more like the type where you need to have the key handy

Ragtime Cthulhu posted:Because attaching a name to something makes it difficult to kill said thing? I don't know, that's just my assumption, my grandparents had no animals and just grew daylilies on their farm. I mean. Not really. Killing a thing sucks but it's not magically easier to kill a thing if it doesn't have a name. I don't name most of my chickens but a super friendly nameless chicken is harder to kill than a chicken that happens to have a name but is an rear end in a top hat. At least for me, how friendly an animal is has way more to do with how much killing it sucks than whether or not I named it. They're not dogs, they don't know their names, they don't give a poo poo if I call them "Flower Sparkle" or "#42." I name them to tell them apart and names are nicer and easier to remember than numbers. No one's saying you're hosed up if you don't name your livestock; I just think it's funny to assume it's some super weird anomaly to do it. Virtually ever farmer I've met in my entire life has named at least some of their animals; not just "super weird animal ladies on the internet." The goat doesn't give a poo poo if I named it or not; it would probably care a lot more about the fact that I'm eating it.

Obviously the animal does not give a poo poo about its name, I just thought it was a part of some bonding process or whatever that would make it more difficult to slaughter in the future. IDK.

IDK. Not really, I didn't bond with the goat I put it on some pasture and said "I will call you [first word that pops into my head]" and that's it. I'm def attached to some of my livestock and would have a really hard time slaughtering some of them if I had to but giving something an identifying name is not some huge spiritual process, it just makes identification easier than just going "the white one with the brown spots" every time you mention them

Ragtime Cthulhu posted:Because attaching a name to something makes it difficult to kill said thing? I don't know, that's just my assumption, my grandparents had no animals and just grew daylilies on their farm. I literally name my quail before I tear their loving heads off with my bare hands so they can go on to god's land as good christian animals should In all seriousness though, I don't cut their heads off anymore. Even with sharp snippers they blinked a few times and opened their beaks. It was sad. When you just slide your thumb under their chin and yank as hard as you can, there's no beak movement and their eyes are closed within a breath. You basically detach the spine from the brain and remove the head all at once. It's death in less time than it takes your heart to beat. It doesn't get faster or less cruel than that. It's just really really violent sounding so it's good for fuckin with you guys. I love the gently caress out of my quail, too. I gave them xmas presents. They get sand just for dust baths. For gently caress's sake I'm clicker training my muscovy drake and I'll slaughter him if he ever decides to turn into an rear end in a top hat and rape the chickens as ducks are prone to doing.  His name is Muffin. He wags his tail at his name and comes over when he's called.Ragtime Cthulhu posted:Obviously the animal does not give a poo poo about its name, I just thought it was a part of some bonding process or whatever that would make it more difficult to slaughter in the future. IDK. If an animal has a good life and you kill that animal to eat it (or in my case, to feed my family and friends because I'm the worst loving vegetarian), congratulations. You have successfully completed farming simulator 1000. You get some new, young animals and hit the restart button. That's how farming, even tiny tiny farms, works. I just like giving them names because watching this goofy duck waddle waggle over to me because I called him a food kinda makes my day.

Stoic Commie posted:ok well small town cops REALLY don't like it then lol, or don't know the law. just going off of personal experience Yeah small towns get leery about people butchering animals in general to be honest. We've gone from a society where it's normal to have chickens pecking in your yard in the 30's-ish (in some areas much later) where mom just went out and killed one every few days to a society where having three chickens in a coop in your back yard is an amazing, outrageous experience for people and their friends are in awe that they "trust" the eggs from their own back yard. Unless you live around country people (and boy do I ever and it's great) people get weird about butchering and slaughtering these days. It's really, really unfortunate because that uncomfortable barrier isn't helping animal welfare within slaughterhouses or food prep at all. Like in your example. Instead of the goat getting slaughtered in a comfortable back yard it's familiar with, it has to be thrown in a truck and taken out to a new place that it doesn't know and is probably leery of (because goats are stupid flighty prey animals and everything new is scary) because somebody is uncomfortable about a little bit of blood in the privacy of their neighbor's back yard. While they munch mcdonalds. It's dumb as gently caress.

Part of the reason I have goats is for meat so nah I'm just gonna eat her I'll be selling kids (and most of my herd tbh, I like pigs better and want to get more pigs) for meat this spring and summer though and yeah, muslims are a big market and even more so if you're willing to slaughter by bleeding out vs stunning (technically I can't perform halal slaughter because I'm not muslim but here at least they seem pretty happy as long as it's just done with a cut to the throat, if they're anal about it they can just buy the live goat and take it to a halal butcher themselves idgaf) also heres my murderbeasts killing each other today    rip, my family and i are dead now

Yeah like, if I want to sell meat to the public, I pretty much can't, I have to sell them a live animal or a "share" of that animal and then take it to a processor that may or may not process and handle the animal in a humane way and I really dislike it. If you want to buy a goat from me, and then have me kill your goat for free, I can do that though, since I sold you a live goat and that's it. Then you can take it to a processor now that it is dead. The animal gets killed super quickly and humanely in a familiar setting, and then get processed professionally. Most people don't really care and would rather just have you drop it off live at the processor because it's easier and then they can be smug about eating ~pastured and humanely raised meat~ while ignoring the fact that it died in terror while being handled by someone who didn't give a poo poo Any of my animals I eat, I kill and process myself, gently caress that. Luckily I live in a relatively chill area and no one really cares about backyard processing as long as it's for personal consumption and you aren't then selling the meat. If the suburban moms started to get sticks up their butts about it I'd move. My neighbors are really cool though. One of the local cops helped me catch one of my pigs once and thought it was funny. For the Atlanta suburbs it's surprisingly not uptight, as long as you're quiet and your animals don't stink and you're following zoning laws no one cares.

Stoic Commie posted:maybe they just hated women idk. the nigerians don't much care for it either Honestly it's because my property is really wet and it makes hoof maintenance and parasite control a massive hassle with goats, even really hardy breeds. I'd never done much with pigs before so I got some bullshit pot bellies for cheap to raise as "practice pigs" to see if I liked them/how they did and I just ended up liking pigs better than goats; they do better on wet pasture than the goats, carry lower parasite loads, are easier for me to fence in, and I find them easier and more enjoyable to handle. After the goats kid this year I'm selling most of them and just keeping 2 or 3 of my favs for milk and to produce a couple of kids a year for meat, butchering/selling the pot bellies and getting some registered Old Spots and plan on settling into those.
