>there's nothing morally wrong with killing either a baby or an ant

The value of life is a human construct and is as we decide it to be.

I can save you some time here. You say these are the only two logical opinions. I will say, there are only two logical actions to take having considered them.

One is you live, one is you don't. You've already done the damage by being here.

Up to you bud

Quite a few cattle are already this large at their full growth. The practical limit is a sweet spot, you aren't taking years more to finish for diminishing gains and increasing welfare issues and management issues, and diminishing meat quality

A full grown bull might be 1600kgs and hes going to wreck stuff. Several 1600kgs bulls are going to wreck an exponential amount of stuff, even the very ground they walk on will become pugged burying the plants they graze on. As well as diminishing quality of the meat.

There's no point to aim for that kind of weight as a target. Even if the infrastructure was different and they would fit through the works, fit onto a truck without rubbing their backs raw and bleeding. He will produce a lot more beef raising more animals to a more reasonable weight and avoiding all the aforementioned issues.

Obviously there are people raising breeding animals to this weight for the genetic gain. But other animals that are raised well past their "prime" are sometimes pets and they finally decide to kill them as a mercy when they get bad feet or become clearly obese, or some other management issue (or the freezer finally gets empty)

Making me think of another point to the poster who loves talking about moral conundrums, would he squish his favorite ant humanely if it was clearly old and suffering? If not he should please stay away from ever actually keeping and being responsible for ants, it would be too much for him.
