Milking the Monster: Difference between revisions

** A twisted version appears in one episode: the "monster" is actually harmless, something along the lines of a tremendous alien bovine with an incredible [[Healing Factor]]. The people who capture it [[Squick|harvest it as an endless source of meat]]. True, the meat is apparently safe for human consumption, but in contrast to the show's tendency for [[Aliens Are Bastards]], this monster is actually a non violent, peaceful slug like being that is being cut apart for meat ''while it's still alive'', and the true villain is the asshole in charge, who ignores the Torchwood-3 team, his own conscience ridden [[Mooks]], not to mention his own conscience, blithely ignoring the agony he's causing a perfectly innocent alien by telling everyone [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?|"it's only meat."]]
