Millions of cows, sheep, chicken died today to feed humanity.


But not in unnecessarily cruel ways, and not unnecessarily, they are used properly. Some of these animals were not.


Literally millions of animals die every day as a byproduct of animal processing industries. As in, death in a way that doesn't result in any sort of useful consumption.


True, but it's a cost of doing the business. In general, if there was a way where we could do that processing with less animal suffering we would. In Neuralinks case they could have done their business with less animal suffering, and chose not to.


> they could have done their business with less animal suffering, and chose not to

This is true of literally any animal impacting business and Neuralink is by far the least worst offender if these allegations even wind up being true.


They are not by far the least worst offender. Medtronic, J&J, all the big med tech and pharma companies do this work day in out, for decades, and none of them do it this way. Neuralink is by the far the worst, and that is why there are articles and former employees saying so.


We shouldn't be doing that either
