for the purpose of the current tech, they use feathers that fall off a chicken. for other animals, they usually do blood draws. so yes, it will still require animals in captivity, but if people are gonna get butthurt over picking some feathers up while otherwise treating the animals very well, there's nothing to be done. one feather can make quite a lot of food too. and it will still be necessary to keep certain animals in captivity for conventional farming purposes.
No, we must take these animals bred for thousands of years to live in captivity and set them free. Domestic animals belong in the wild, where they will definitely live long happy lives and are definitely able to take care of themselves.
Oh I’m not talking about the source of the cultured meat. I’m talking about the source of the meat used in the taste test. It’s more similar to not using makeup tested on animals
im not quite following, are you saying they go and kill the animal to figure out how it tastes? the whole cultured meat thing arose out of research to reproduce organs and cells so we dont have to test products and pharmaceuticals on animals. plus its more convenient for the researchers, the idea is that by having the cells made in lab you can remove a lot of external factors.

Oh I see. I’m talking about commercially available versions of this. Maybe I’ve mixed up two kinds of meat alternative, in which case I’m sorry
