Mike Rowe in this short 2:50 minute video clip discusses how we view pain and suffering in animals, in this case sheep. The video isn’t necessarily saying experts are wrong, but rather when personal experience and personalized human knowledge can contribute to how we understand animals and our sometimes projected emotions of pain and suffering. It’s worth watching to understand the disparity between conventional knowledge and personalized experience.
Albert, the generalist, in this video seems like he was at a family farm rather than a factory farm. It is not surprising that a farmer who has experience at a family farm knows the true most humane way of doing things because he is more connected to the animals. He empathized with the lamb’s pain.
