Have people forgotten the animation, from the mists of deep time, "Cows With Guns"?

We're such efficient predators that we've made it systematic, and I really don't care, because fuck you I'm too poor for free-range chicken alright

It's got a nice rhythm, but if that's your band's next single, I don't think it's going to be a big hit.

Does anyone know if there have been advances into the area of vat grown meats? Because as I see it, it's either that or the hyper-industrialization of farming to provide for the growing world.

my singer will probably love it because it's basically the opposite of the band CAKE and he hates them (I love them though).

Besides, it's hip to be counterculture, and what's more counterculture than countering veganXcore counterculture? I think we'll do just fine

...

I would not consider us predators as far as the food chain was concerned when it comes to lab grown meat due to the lack of animals being killed. I absolutely consider what we have now as predatory because it requires the death of a rather large number of living creatures. The fact it's been made so efficient and specialized is just simply a unprecented increase in efficiency amongst the species and us essentially side stepping the natural limiting factors of our environment. Very cold, systematic and detached from a large portion of the species, but I'd definitely argue that it still makes humans, as far as the food chain goes, a predator.

I kind of disagree with the term predator for animals that we have genetically altered (bred) and raised to be docile for food purposes. 

I reserve it for hunters.

To me it feels far too much like it's romanticizing what a predator is. All a predator is, is a creature/organism that preys on other living organisms, and prey is simply one that is killed by another, usually for food.

We do happen to be incredibly lazy predators now days.

Perhaps "well organized" is a better term than "lazy".

Exactly. If lions could keep gazelles in pens then you bet they would. All that hunting is just wasted energy. They go after the easy, sickly prey for a reason and it's not that they like a challenge.

Pfft...now I have to ask someone for an artwork commission of that mental image. :psyduck:

The real question is, would the lions come up with a form of currency and charge other "predators" for gazelle meat, or would the several top species on the food chain form a hippie cooperative?

Moved by Fievel's courage in the story, they attempt to stow away on a container ship bound for the United States, only to have it hijacked mid-route by Somali pirate ferrets.
