So is eating vegetables. In order for you to live, something has to die.
I’m not knocking your veganism. I fully support your choices. But I harbor no illusions that all life requires death to survive. And much of that death is actively done by all creatures.
Eh, equating animal lives to human lives is a bit too much for me but, as long as you’re at least as empathetic for people as you are for cattle, your kindness cannot be denied. 🤷
Cats and dogs have real personality, even if they aren’t as big brained as human. We protect even wild ones because we understand they are conscious.
A dog is like a vegan, wouldn’t eat the owner after they died.
Indeed, the amount of slavery in the modern world’s supply chains is enormous. We exploit child slaves in far away places so we can bankrupt ourselves trying to provide for our kids here at home. I dare say, it’s quite the flawed system we have built for ourselves.
In the case of industrial farms I agree. But I grew up less than a full generation from the family homestead in what’s now Wasilla. I’ll never be convinced to go full vegan, but I have cut my meat intake by half over the last year
Factory farms are abhorrent and should be done away with, eating meat is natural and there is nothing wrong with it. I can respect your view but your choice to be annoying and openly disrespect other views makes you just another common jackass.
I just want to point out that something being “natural” does not inherently make it ok. Killing other creatures of the same species (murder) is “natural”, rape is “natural”, stealing is “natural”.
The entire point of ethics/morality is to distinguish between the natural things which we find good, and the natural things we find bad and want ourselves and others to stop doing.
My point being that if you want to defend eating meat as morally ok, you should do so without the “appeal to nature”.
Are you comparing a handful of dead people to several million animals getting brutally killed per day? The biggest difference between the holocaust and animal agriculture is the intent to exterminate the entire group for good.
I find it harder to take seriously someone who has their head in the sand and believes in some supernatural supremacy of a particular species of monkey
meat is murder

Nature is fucked up
For every downvote I’ll eat a porterhouse. 😂😂😂

My cat would but I still love my fluffy demon. 😅
That’s why I always buy any meet that costs 6.66 or has the weight of 6.66. who am I to deny the power of Satan.
Yummy murder
Slaver mindset
No issues with that on my end :-)
So all it takes to bait Lemmy into showing their psychopathic side is three words.
Pathetic community unworthy of the high regard it holds itself in.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism
I don’t think you understand why that phrase is used
Tell me your interpretation, my friend
that is why i exclusively buy stuff from nestle and donate all of my leftover money to Trump and Jk Rowling
I’m just trying to get by, I buy exclusively whatever is cheapest
Then you’re vegan? Because the cheapest foods are rice, beans, potatos, etc.
I’d say more towards vegetarian, but for sure.
Love this meme, was trying to sympathise with my comment tho. Didn’t realise how apathetic it has come across to everyone. Oops.
Sure there is
Go on…
Some are less unethical than others.

The animal is already dead, it’s even more disrespectful to waste it’s body.
You’re paying animal agriculture to harm more animals.

Good.
What despicable human beings are replying to your truthful comment. Keep up the good fight 💚
🤜🤛
i don’t care about the replies or the downVotes. This should be reminded every time.
Animals aren’t people killing them isn’t murder

you are not a lion. you’re a pathetic ape.
Murder isn’t something that can only be done to people.
By definition, yes it is
Then that’s a useless and arbitrary definition
Nope.
So make sure that livestock did not die in vain. Prepare it properly.
Is it okay for me to kill your baby as long as I eat it afterwards?
Cannibalism is a quick path to prion disease. I don’t recommend eating other humans.
Yes, go for it.
Good thing I love murder.
Ice is that you?
Are you comparing undocumented immigrants to animals?
humans are animals
I suspect they might be referring to the thing they replied to, the sentiment “I love murder”

It’s shit like this that makes it so people cannot take you seriously
I find it harder to take seriously someone who has their head in the sand and believes in some supernatural supremacy of a particular species of monkey
Are you comparing your own mum to an upstanding lady who has never prostituted herself for a cheeseburger?
That’s why they’re called it. Because they ice anyone they want.
