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.
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”.
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
meat is murder

My cat would but I still love my fluffy demon. 😅
Good thing I love murder.
Ice is that you?
Are you comparing undocumented immigrants to animals?
I suspect they might be referring to the thing they replied to, the sentiment “I love murder”
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.
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.
So make sure that livestock did not die in vain. Prepare it properly.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism
Love this meme, was trying to sympathise with my comment tho. Didn’t realise how apathetic it has come across to everyone. Oops.
Some are less unethical than others.

Sure there is
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.
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.
