zevyoura, you actually did a great job of summarizing my positions (especially for someone I assume does not fully share them).
This is just such an unnecessary combination of something I happen to love and something I happen to hate.
You do realize that nobody's going to be keeping a live cow or pig in their apartment, right? It's most likely that they're going to give away a butchered cow.
Not that it makes it better if you don't support raising animals for slaughter at all, but you shouldn't worry that it's going to be more cruel to the animal.
1. You don't support domesticated animals and/or the farming of animals
2. You dislike the idea of living things being transferrable goods
3. You fear for the welfare of the animal after being given away
Is it one of these or is there another reason? I think it's an interesting conversation to have.
