And refused antibiotics to treat TB, as one would do for a human. Are human TB sufferers put to death?

Vaccinating cattle for the control of bovine TB is not currently used within any international control program and it is illegal within the E.U.7 This is because vaccines based on the TB bcg vaccine, all interfere with the action of the tuberculin skin test which is used for the diagnosis of TB in cattle. If the bcg vaccine is used then it is impossible to differentiate between cattle that have TB and cattle that have been vaccinated. In addition in 2016 there started to be a worldwide shortage of the bcg vaccine.
It is not a question of ‘militant meat eaters’ but of naturally omniverous humans. No one is advocating any of what you say below here.
No doubt you’ll come up with something, for example, breeding captive lions for shooting?
We are a diverse group which consists of vegans and vegetarians also no doubt some are ‘militant’ too.
Until we can eliminate capitalism and its twin concomitants of war and poverty then human, as well as animal suffering, can not be addressed in any adequate manner.
As you have indicated, “attitudes toward diet and fellow animals are already changing”, and socialists in the wider society are not immune to this change, but how much is genuine in the wider society, recognising urgent concerns about the environment, global warming, and animal suffering, and how much is driven and shaped by commodification and market segmentation, is up for speculation.
Related is the inhumane treatment of temple elephants in India.
Yes and the Elephants chained up for the use of and amusement of tourists in Thailand.
Goats are amazing critters. I used to meet them on trails on the French-Spanish border territory in the Pyrenees also. All sorts of wild stuff there too.
.. and they can make decisions for elderly poor people, such as starving them to death with so called ‘palliative care’, which they wouldn’t make for millionaire paying patients.
I haven’t quite got my head around how these decisions are made by surgeon ‘gods’.
I don’t buy either that slaughtering for food need be cruel. The present plight of some of the workers is a consequence of capitalisms increased exploitation of them, their living and their working conditions.
The men used to chase us as kids, when we went in to see the animals in their corrals, to prevent them from being distressed.
We got too excited as we lived in the east end and hadn’t seen sheep or cattle save in books or on TV.
