  So PETA doesn’t euthanize sick animals?

    >PETA euthanizes healthy animals as well
    >you think PETA doesn’t euthanize sick animals?

    There isn’t a single thing I can say to convince someone who isn’t arguing in good faith.

      Am I arguing or using the Socratic method?

      Have you always felt the Socratic method is bad faith, or just when you already have a strong opinion?

        The Socratic method involves asking questions to lead on discussion and participation. You’re trying to discourage discussion by putting contributors on the defensive with an ad hominem disguised as a (loaded) question.

        So, in fact, you’re doing neither.

        I think you’re just being obtuse and pedantic for your own sake, if you’re really curious you could very easily look this information up. Please stop being like this, you don’t have to be this way. Touch grass for fucks sake, good luck out there, must be tough being an insufferable git.

      Asking for clarification is bad faith?

        This comment chain is you defending PETA having high euthanasia statistics due to euthanizing animals they had taken from families yards and from homeless individuals. You had suggested that these euthanasias were mercy killings, and when another commenter pointed out that pets can’t be considered suffering even under the loosest definition of the word, you posed a rhetorical question in bad faith. If you actually wanted to argue that PETA’s euthanasias are only done in situations of suffering animals, you would have just said that and perhaps included a source for that claim like the initial commenter did for theirs.
