I had a 9th grade student who didn’t believe that men washed their own asses because it was gay. Yes, he was retarded, but in that behavior classroom kind of way.
We, the students and I, could not convince him otherwise.

They said animals, not limiting the number to cattle.
This Article provides a breakdown of the 2022 numbers for slaughtered animals based on this source from the United Nations.
So, in this case, the person to whom you are responding is correct.

Lake, K. (1911). Codex Sinaiticus Petropolitanus, Oxford (An old ass version of the bible from c. 400 C.E.
Matthew 21:12-13
*12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those that sold doves,
13 and said to them: It is written: My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you make it a den of robbers. *
So, Jesus showed up at the temple and “cast out” anyone engaged in commerce, calling them robbers.
Of the four apostles that mention the incident (Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John), only John indicates that a whip was used.
13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And he found in the temple those that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the moneychangers sitting; 15 and having made a scourge of cords, he drove all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and poured out the money of the money-changers, and overturned the tables; 16 and to those that sold doves he said: Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise. 17 The disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for thy house consumes me.
The scourge of cords, with scourge meaning “a whip used as an instrument of punishment”.

The choice available to them is suffer in a situation where their needs are met, albeit barely, or risk homelessness in a society that views financial failure as a personal failure instead of recognizing it as a feature of capitalism.
Not everyone can take that risk.

You are overgeneralizing your singular experience. First off, good for you! Changing it up is hard and that fact that you were able to do that is a good thing! However, just because you can do it doesn’t mean that anyone can do it. Financial matters are complicated and ingrained generational poverty is not something that the majority of its victims can shake off. Educational, financial, and systemic barriers exist to keep people in these shitty situations.
If someone chose to live in a poor area to live within their means, but then the neighborhood gentrifies and the rent triples in a brief period of time, such that the person now has to work constantly to avoid getting evicted or starving, all the while their manager is perfectly willing to fire them if they miss a single day, then life becomes about daily survival and everything else goes out the window. While some people can move, it is not reasonable to expect that the majority of the population would be able to move.

If you go to the bank and get twenty dollars in nickels all nice and rolled up, then you can put them inside of three sweat socks and have an understanding relative drive over to the stalker’s house and make a donation to his medical GoFundMe.
With the leftover change you can also get an ice cream.

No. Kids won’t be able to pronounce it, teachers won’t be able to pronounce it, job interviewers won’t be able to pronounce it, medical personal won’t be able to pronounce it, etc.
Every single one of these moments is avoidable, and no amount of these moments is worth ‘having the kid with the interesting name’.
