I agree, I’m sticking to teenagers from now on! They’ve lost their innocence, and I gotta send a clear message for them to stay off my property. Eating them is nature’s deterrent.
Yeah, people can’t just tell they’re teenager nipples! Gotta go with skulls, the size is a dead giveaway! Sounds extreme, but I can tell you whose house did NOT get corned this year! This guy, right here!
Wait, is this actually a thread that supports vegan meat production? I thought I was the only one left on this earth that was capable of weighing its pros and cons.
Just eat seaweed and algae, it is far superior and cheaper than lab grown food and it is more nutritionally dense. Not to mention just how much more sustainable it is.
You do realize that's literally what every single vegetable and fruit you buy is?
The difference is that unlike them, what I mentioned has complete proteins and vitamins most commonly found in meat, which means they'll do a better job at keeping you healthy than any carrot or tomato.
You can also just try to grow them at home, which will be easier than having a few hundred square feet dedicated to green houses.
We can't even get some countries to stop doing slavery. There's no way the world is globally going vegetarian. Which is why supporting more humane and environmentally friendly options and making them economically competitive is important. Being smug about eating vegetables isn't going to save animals.
Most humans can't thrive on a vegan diet without a supliments, since we're omnivores you know?
If you're gonna suggest something, offer an actual alternative. Seaweed and algae, it is far superior and cheaper than lab grown food and it is more nutritionally dense. Not to mention just how much more sustainable it is.
If it makes you feel better, lambs are rather silly and dumb. Pigs on the other hand have the intelligence of a small child, which actually means humans are monsters
When I was in high school our teacher brought in a hog farmer to talk about animal agriculture since it's one of my state's main industries. He started talking about the slaughtering process and one of the kids in my class joked about how they don't know what's coming.
The farmer assured us that pigs are highly intelligent and definitely understand what's happening to them when they're about to die :(
half of the work is ensuring the pigs further down the line do not learn about what's happening upfront. Part of that is killing the pig as quickly and silently as possibly, because just one quieck will make the other pigs go mayham. Also the smell.
I used to help out on a farm. I refused to assist on slaughter days if there were more than a few pigs (or sheeps). (same with cows tbh but we shipped them out, because our facility could NOT handle that.)
But an animal likely not knowing their imminent slaughter as they're walking into an abattoir is a small mercy.
It's not fun waiting for inevitable death, I'd argue sometimes worse than the dying itself.
(No I'm not defending the meat industry or its' practices, nor am I a rabid carnivore. I'd stop eating meat if it was medically and financially possible for me)
meat alternatives are things like legumes, rice, vegetables etc. you dont have to replace things 1:1 to get enough nutrients, they're different diets and will be formed differently. i'm not trying to argue about your medical reasons which is why i didnt bring it up.
Every comment I make about what a pig would do to your family given the chance, gets removed no matter the verbiage I use, lol wtf is this place kindergarten?
Ridiculous. Honestly, that has got to be the worst justification I have ever heard or read.
This looks like a moral justification for meat consumption, but written by a badly trained AI.
So eating animals is bad, is your starting point, and that is why you only eat animals that have lost their protection by morally misstepping themselves, eating animals themselves? But animals have no morals. You want to condemn a chicken or a salmon for never having been able to discuss philosophy? ....
What else could you mean? Is the reason that you want to protect the prey? But they're most likely farmed animals. They're being fed and eat what they have been fed. They might Not even eat animals, or have no choice what to eat. And If you're referring to the ecological Footprint: theirs is bigger than those of herbivores, so it would be easier to justify herbivores consumption.
Because you are creating a moral dimension where there is none. For an animal there is no difference between an animal it feeds on or a fruit, because it doesn't know better.
The only factor with a concept of morals in the world of animal prey - carnivore - you eating the carnivore is you.
If you demand to eat a carnivore, you give money to the human who enslaved the carnivore and condemned the herbivores to be fed in by the carnivore.
In order to be able to eat the carnivore, you condemn both herbivore and carnivore to enslavement and death. You are the morally doubtful actor here. Not the carnivore.
Let me guess: you really, really want to eat meat, right?
No worries, I do, too. But I don't deny myself herbivores. Maybe take a timeout from your rule and eat steak, too, until you come up with a better thought out rule.
That being said, I think veganism is the way to go, I am just not strong enough.
If you ever decide you're ready, see if I'm still using this username. I'm the "help people on their journey" kind of vegan, not the "bully the meat-eaters" kind that are so infamous. I won't judge you. I'll just give you recipes and ideas for easy food.
You call me ridiculous while saying I'm demanding to eat carnivores, which I never said, I eat omnivores which are not farm raised on eating herbivores, lol.
So, following that train of reasoning, the most moral option would be cannibalism, as humans do the most active intentional harm to other living things by a massive amount, no other animal even comes close to us.
I mean, I can lay out the train of logic for you, it's not a big stretch.
You say that you have decided that the moral way to draw the line of what animals to eat and what not to eat is to base it on the harm that creature does to other living things.
Well, one animal is at the top of that list, number one with a bullet. You can spot one in any mirror.
So, assuming that you don't in fact think you should be eating people, then perhaps you aren't in truth basing your choices on the criteria you claim to be using.

It’s videos like these that makes me feel guilty of eating meat.
