If someone is offended by this joke, maybe that’s a sign that they’re uncomfortable with the modern mass production of meat in general, and they’d be more comfortable within themselves if they ate less meat.
Yes. It’s not possible to respect these lambs or consider yourself a friend to animals while looking forward to eating them. Not without playing tricks on your mind. The definitions of friend and respect simply don’t allow for simultaneously accepting a cruel fate.
I am vegetarian (and striving to make more vegan choices day by day)

Walked the same path. Vegan for just over a year now and no regrets. The benefits outweigh the downsides.
Hi lamb, I respect you. However, I’m okay with you being killed to become with food. You don’t want this, so I guess I don’t respect what you want. But other than that I respect you.
Doesn’t sound like real respect to me.
As a vegan, don’t you respect the plants you eat?
Like a dead lamb, plants don’t benefit from my respect.
there is no proof that nonhuman animals understand personal mortality so it could be true that lambs don’t want to die to the same extent that they do want to die, if they don’t understand that they, themselves, might die.

How is that respect?

So you don’t think plants are alive? Plants don’t deserve respect? Such mental gymnastic
