I get where you're coming from, but that isn't the point

Just look for red states/cities in the US. More than likely its been banned there.

Killing small animals? So like Barron Trump is alleged to have done:

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I also didn't know this book was banned, and was going to ask something similar.

One would assume that Kurt Vonnegut would have some awareness about books

how old is he now? Is it finally ok to set upon little Baron?
-
There are several links to free, legal copies at the bottom of the book's Wikipedia page.
Also, if you type "1984" into YouTube, the first result is this full audiobook recording. It's really not difficult to find.

If you're killing the cow in the same way the people in those videos kill cats, then it doesn't hit much different at all.
There's definitely a line here, but I suspect that we disagree on where that line is.

I mean, 1984 isn't really age appropriate for children anyway. Not from the authoritarianism, but sexual and violent content and themes.

Or replace cats with billionaires.
-
If you think cows are killed in anything but abject horror, I'd recommend you at the very least watch Dominion, which was linked above.
-
If you're dedicated you can find anything. That's not the point though.

Literally 1984

I understand, but my point is that it really doesn’t take any more effort than going to the library does. In fact, it’s certainly no more difficult than looking up videos of animal cruelty (at least I don’t exactly just see them being suggested to me randomly).
-
at least the cat stretched its legs once or twice whereas the cows were stuck in torturous positions their entire miserable life, steeped in their own shit on the verge of suffocation due to crowding. its all fucked

see, this is what is being pointed out in the meme. Children are exposed to violence and sexuality every single day. Just because children shouldn't be committing violence or having sex doesn't mean they can't read about it or know about it. Also how fucking ridiculous is it that we place violence and sex in the same sentence w similar weight.

I'm not trying to cause offence, but is there an ethical way to eat animals, or does it become unethical as soon as we have the means and ability to not do so?
It seams like for a lot of people, thier traditions and culture outweigh thier personal ethical benefits and thats the biggest problem that has to be overcome.
Some places do not allow for growing sufficient and complete protein to feed the population, for example Egypt or Bangladesh. It seems that the cultures might be harder to overcome in these places.I was thinking maybe insects as a protein source would be a positive step for these locations. But thats obviously hard to overcome culturally. What do vegans think of eating insects?

Have you read 1984? I have, and in my opinion it is inappropriate for children.
I also feel videos showing people killing cats are inappropriate for children, and I think most people agree on that.
The meme is pointing out the incongruity there. But it's being taken as if people are allowing the cat killing videos therefore we should allow 1984 for children. And also implying the problem with 1984 is about political influence or such like. Rather, the problem (wrt children) is the way it handles adult themes, and also we should be protecting children from the cat killing videos also.
