Sounds like a much more human solution than killing them, though.
A biopsy (which is basically what this is) vs. cutting their throat or a cattle prod through the brain?
Excising a small amount of tissue to culture meat: 2 out of 10 on the cruelty scale. Slaughtering the cows under very scary and traumatizing conditions: 9 out of 10 on the cruelty scale.
Yeah, this is a huge improvement if the meat is healthy and good.
