Startup Serves Up Chicken Produced From Cells in Lab

Not necessarily. Anyone who runs small farms or boutique cattle studs would disagree.

All animals will die at some stage. If their life up to that point was in a caring and respectful environment, and they are humanely killed, what's the problem?

We regularly sent our cattle to the abattoir, and it didn't stop them being happy cows that got hugs and shoulder scratches...

What exactly does "humanely killed" mean? Is there a method of being killed against your will that you'd be up for?

It means a swift, unexpected death. No discomfort involved.

I get it, and I find it odd that we refer to this as "humane".

Animals killed for meat die as adolescents. This is dispicable.
