Haha, yes, I was referring to them as they are colloquially known by... the internet, really. I'm curious as to what benefit these goats present to human beings so as to farm them. Other than youtube fodder.

They're amusing and very easy to catch.

nevertheless, goats are tasty meals. my mom always cook one with a dish called "Kalderetang Kanding"... yum yum!

^ Sounds like a Missy Elliot song. :laughing:

nope. in fact, here in my hometown, there are a lot of exotic dishes served here.
for instance, fried frogs, the one above which is sauted goats, fertilized duck egg, stewed turtle, siopao made of cat meat and sauted dogs among many others. though the last dish is now extinct because of the current Philippine bill that disallows the cooking of dogs or any domestic pets.

She was making a joke FFS.

Goat cheese is pretty good imo

I've recently heard that (and forgive my complete and utter lack of resources for this information, but it's the idea I wanted to bring up) scientists have been using animal stem cells to grow muscle independent of an animal for use as meat product.

Basically, what's the general feeling about eating grown meat, and is this a foreseeable to combat animal cruelty?

That's gross tbh, it's still like eating an animal to me. I don't think it'll be much for combatting animal cruelty,that's too much of a giant to conquer, and if I recall correctly, doing that is super expensive.

Obviously it's in early stages, but I wonder, if they become able to mass produce this meat, would it be more or less expensive/efficient than farming these animals?
