Cow Propaganda

Stratego's Thought Provoking Question
Link to original thread

....This idea comes from the movie The Island, with Scarlet Johanson and Obi Wan. The people on the island thought that the others whom have been picked by the lottery are the lucky ones, while in reality, there is a dark fate awaiting the selected.

Some of the cows we eat were subjected to a life time of tight confined space. Since they're mammals with a large enough brain, they probably experience primal feelings like sadness and anger. This could lead to bad tasting meat.

What if we play propaganda to the cows to convince them that they're living the good life. And the ones chosen are going to get an even better life. I don't know if propaganda works on cows, but if it does, it can lead to more stress free cows, which means better meat.
