Hello!! Well, this is a very interesting and controversial topic, I think the opinion varies depending on the context, because it is for example. In my country when they see a pig in a direct truck to the slaughterhouse they all feel sad because they are going to kill them, but, they are the same people who consume high amounts of that meat increasing the demand. Then they want solutions to the problem that they themselves cause.

I believe that if they deserve care and respect, but also expose the weakness to eat meat, and I think it is part of the food chain (it is a way to justify us, that happens). But, I think we can not avoid eating meat, as long as we believe that because we are the ones that have consciousness we can decide.

and with respect to the measure you are commenting on, I think they are measures to guarantee income, you know that in the Netherlands sex workers were allowed to make use of cubicles on the public highway, but this beyond providing a space, was because in this way They should pay a tax to the nation. Many times the top managers make a proposal that in the end always benefits them. Regards!
