Many species survive by developing ways to taste bad to their predators. Some species even evolve to look like like the bad-tasting species. In this way, they try to ensure the replication of their DNA. In the long view of nature, the only thing that matters to a species is if it can reliably and consistently accomplish that task.

Livestock animals figured out an even better plan. Met with the first predator ever to consciously understand animal husbandry, these species won not by tasting BAD, but by tasting GOOD. They were also easy to hunt and provided a large amount of the kind of protein their new predators needed.

Amazingly, their DNA was replicated further and in immense numbers -- much greater numbers than ever seen in the bad-tasting animals.

And, in turn, nothing could be worse for it as a species than if it suddenly were to fall out of favor. What would happen to cows if we stopped eating them? After 100 years. there would be probably be less than 10,000 of them, and all in captivity.

The livestock animal's fate rests in your hands. If you want to help it, eat it. That is its natural desire, its destiny, its plan.
