    in french it’s just the name of the animal. Here’s a cow. eat cow. A pig ? eat pig.

    Maybe it makes it easier to mentally link together the live animal and its meat.

      In english it’s just the french word… beef, pork, etc… All french.

      It’s because carninsts are extremely privileged to the point that they were french aristocracy in england.
