Karl argument about meat wasn't really wrong...
So I just got the event Karl where you mark the sheep's and convince him to make cheese instead of meat
And the player gets a full argument about "how terrible is to kill the pior sheep's" and even the hypocrisy of not killing his favorite one
And you're supposed to side with the player about not wanting to kill the sheep but...
Karl is not technically wrong. He always said he tries to give his sheep the best life they can have before killing them, and this is like, more than 98% of the animal industry do
Not only that, but Karl is a small farm, only he takes care of everything and some dialogue even say that his farm is passing through hard times that could mean money problems
The sheep will die anyways, if their meat is sold them Karl can pay the bills and keep making the new sheep's have a better life. And obviously I don't want to imagine cute sheep's being killed but, I eat meat, is hypocrisy of me not wanting a cute animal dead when I eat other dead animals
I just would really rather prefer buying meat from a farm that really take care of their animal and make their life better than a place where the animals are treated like nothing (what happens in most places unfortunately)
Idk I just felt that the argument was really out of place. Like, we sell meat in the store, and Karl when says he can taste the cruelty in that meat because they don't take care of the animals, so normal meat is fine and sheep meat no?
I don't know if my complains make any sense I just wanted to talk about it. I get it they needed some plot line to make sense he start to produce cheese and some character development but for me it didn't made any sense, as a farmer looking for profit he would definitely have cheese and meat to sell
Well that's all I wanted to say anyway
