Preserving the life of animals in order to program their death
The attitudes of farmers toward, and their ideas about, their livestock depend on their expectations about production and on the species. Whether or not the livestock is to be slaughtered, the herd is to be kept in good health so that death occurs at the right time. However, excluding an animal that has lived in close relations with people from the herd necessitates creating a distance between one's self and the act. Whereas the raising of livestock on an industrial scale treats animals as mere means and denies their status as living beings, individualized animals with names are kept from the slaughterhouse and die a « natural death » ; others are eaten during a ritualized, communal meal.
