I don't know if [ripping] a potato suffers but I am sure that the cow does in a very high degree. I choose the potato.

Its not that the potato suffers, but that you are killing it regardless

.

Your point on slaughter houses also brings to light differences from which countries we come from. Sure, in some, animals are still directly slain by a human's hand. In others, cattle, etc. is rounded up into big rooms and gassed "harmlessly" (supposedly feeling no pain, suffering, or awareness that they are being killed).

So can it be said that some forms of meat more humanely 'obtained' is more acceptable than others?
