I think draining an animal of blood over and over is also pretty cruel.

[kafkaesq → Idontagree]

It's not much different from what we're doing to them already.

The whole point of these products are to move away from stuff like that. Adding beef blood is like taking a step backwards.

[aninhumer → Idontagree]

It could be done in a way that isn't cruel. Just take a little at a time, like we do with humans. It might not even be less efficient if the rate of blood production is fairly constant. (I don't know enough biology to speculate.)

[saynsedit → aninhumer]

It's cruel to take a human's blood without their consent, even if done painlessly.

[aninhumer → saynsedit]

I don't think it would be cruel for animals, because once you remove pain as a factor, the only suffering left for humans exists on a psychological level that I don't believe animals would experience.

[saynsedit → aninhumer]

Okay, I don't believe you would suffer at a psychological level either, does that give me the right to take your blood without your consent?

[tkyjonathan → aninhumer]

What for though? Cant you spice something in a particular way instead of bleeding an animal?

[aninhumer → tkyjonathan]

Maybe it's not necessary. My point is just that it would be possible.
