Sorry to derail, but I really am irked by this cattle VS. pets analogy.

I know that a lot of meat is industrially produced with little regard for the animal well-being (livestock). And I know quite a lot farmers growing their herds organically and naming every single one. Quite a few farmers told me they would never eat meat if they didn't know the name of the animal it came from. They know the character of every single animal in their herds.

So to me this analogy only works as long as we disregard the fact that these animals have unique characters. And that imho counters the analogy.

I prefer bots VS. pets to differentiate the two sides.
