      paying someone to kill an animal so that you can consume its corpse is how you treat animals nicely, is it?

        OK, so if negative fucks were a thing that would be how may fucks in general i give about the actual argument you are having.

        That being said, to me it seems hypocritical to be throwing shade about intentional animal cruelty unless you are somehow posting these replies without using any electronics whatsoever.

        Almost all electronics require materials sourced or processed off the back of rare earth minerals not even mentioning the supply chain and assembly.

        As you said, people are animals too, slavery and workplace mutilation are animal abuse.

        I’m not whattabouting your argument, both things are fucked up and one doesn’t cancel out the other and as i said, i’m not supporting either side.

        but the stunning lack of awareness (or acknowledgement) of the hypocrisy of your argument is offensive.

  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.

      Hell yeah! Morals are just a suggestion, lions eat their young, but I can’t? That’s bullshit and we all know it. If you wanna argue against eating our young (just the disabled ones, of course), please keep that melodramatic stuff out of here.
