If it applies to one animal it should apply to all, but go ahead and be a special snowflake instead

The attitude of someone who mistreats animals ☝️
goedel@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
I don’t mistreat animals. this is libelous.

Like, what a fucking stupid answer that can apply to anything and nothing at the same time.
Animals are animals, and humans are animals. Kangaroos are not cows, but both are also animals - different things ARE different, but at the same time, in some aspects, they are not.

Why doesn’t my dog have a right to vote? Why can a snake eat eggs but I can’t? Why is it OK for ants to farm aphids but not for humans to farm cows?
Different things are, in fact, different. There are lots of dead simple and airtight arguments for veganism without counterproductive emotional appeals. Talk about economics or ecology or health and not about sad puppy dog eyes.

It’s not rape if it’s your dog

I would really like to see you try to get your dog pregnant.

Why do you want to watch that?
A human can try to impregnate a dog, they just can’t succeed

I’m the dog.
I think I need to mute this thread before I dig this hole too deep.

Oh gods I forgot about the humsters. Someone bring me a rum bucket and a new liver please
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s correct, yes.
However, my dog is my property, and someone can only artificially inseminate my property with my permission.

What in the fuck

Anti-vegans will go to any depths of depravity in order to deal with their cognitive dissonance. Once, on Reddit, I got a commenter to agree that he would be fine if someone had a dog in a cage they tortured for entertainment, rather than agree that it’s kinda fucked up that we slaughter animals because their flesh tastes nice.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So you’re aware, that’s a really fucked up thing to think. Let alone say.
But maybe we disagree only on terminology?
What would you call the act of nonconsensually sticking your dick into your dog, and do you think it’s horrible?
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Raping a dog is bad, yes.

Ah the tried and tested “it’s ok if it’s my property” which historically(and currently) is a universal guideline for what is and isn’t ok.
Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Idk there’s two schools of thought on this. One is that you can own another creature with a mind. I find this attitude leads to a lot of very unsettling situations and possibly weird shit.
The other is that you treat them like a child that is in your custody where you can order them what to do and where to go and what to eat but society expects you to follow certain rules while they’re in your custody.

Ah yes, that’s the take I want to side with!

If I own a human slave, me artificially inseminating them without consent isn’t rape?
If I DNA test the slave from earlier and discover they aren’t human, inseminating them without consent wouldn’t be rape?

Uh… what are they, then?
I don’t think these absurd hypotheticals are helping your argument.
