  Genuinely shocked that no one drew a picture of a turkey with legs spread saying “I want to be eaten, Daddy” in reply to this.

  As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?

  Without looking into it further, I’m gonna guess the same reason I find a lot of people I agree with on a number of issues so insufferable: holier-than-thou, self-congratulatory, moral crusading.

  Just existing and being willing to answer people’s questions genuinely is way more effective. I literally never bring it up, people only find out by happenstance and often ask about it themselves. If they don’t, it’s not that interesting (in my opinion).

  Anecdotally, anyway.

    I mean, people who you believe to be morally right can still be irritating idiots. I'm not a vegan, but I get it. I have friends who are, I don't say no to a vegan meal (unless there's corn in it because that gives me an unpleasant time on the toilet). I do think PETA is fighting for something they believe in, and I think that's admirable. I also think they're annoying.

      Their tactics can be annoying and ridiculous, but I think that any honest assessment of why people generally find them annoying would admit that it’s people being reactionary. The whole “How do you know someone’s a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you” is almost the exact opposite in reality: people can’t shut up about NOT being vegan.

  Turkeys don’t want to be eaten, but they get eaten anyway?

  Complete this sentence in any way it resonates with you:

  I don’t want to _____________, but I have to ____________ anyway.

    Meh it’s more equivalent to something like cowboys in the west.

      The Grey Wolves officially known by the short name Idealist Hearths , is a Turkish far-right political movement and the youth wing of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). Commonly described as ultranationalist, neo-fascist, Islamo-nationalist (sometimes secular), and racist, the Grey Wolves have been described by some scholars, journalists, and governments as a death squad and a terrorist organization. Its members deny its political nature and claim it to be a cultural and educational foundation, citing its full official name: Idealist Hearths Educational and Cultural Foundation.

      Maybe many use the symbol and they don’t know what it represents, but i don’t take it as an excuse. Same goes with many other fascist symbols.

    Vegan Bullshit Bingo #22

    Plants have feelings too

    No, they do not. There is no serious study to suggest that they do. Plants do not have a brain or central nervous system. At most, they respond to stimuli. If you really care that much about the welfare of plants, you should go vegan, since many more plants “die” for animal feeding.
    Do you feel bad while mowing your lawn? And would you rather rescue a potted plant than a dog from a burning house? Is docking pig tails the same as branch trimming to you? Question upon question…

    source

    • hans@feddit.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      to the extent that they don’t understand that they themselves might die, plants don’t want too be eaten any more than they want to keep living. the same is true for animals

      Plants communicate.

      Those tears you shed when cutting onions is because of a defence mechanism of the onion, the scent you smell when cutting grass is another.

      We also know that fungi and trees communicate with eachother as well. They even help eachother gain nutrients.

  My neighbor tried to raise some turkeys for Christmas. Those were bred to grow really quickly but his timing was off. They have to be slaughtered within a small window before they get too fat and their hearts give out. He had to do an early Christmas.

    Don’t know about the small window thing. We had turkeys for a while, but to be fair it was more about domestic animals than food source. Those things would get huge. I remember once some friends were coming to visit at night and seeing them on the roof got scared and ran off.

    • hayvan@feddit.nl ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No they are not right. I can’t know the political views of someone in some shitpost, but the original grey wolf symbolim comes from Turkic mythology, which is today being co-opted by racist fucks. It still gets used ironically to make fun of those fucks (just like posting Musk’s Nazi salute doesn’t automatically make you a nazi if you are making fun of him).

      In addition, some people want to reclaim the symbolism, because it’s ancient mythology, why would we leave it to them, right?

      Yes they are. It’s a bunch of armchair political experts confidently talking out of their buttholes.

      There IS a racist political movement, which is often referred as Grey Wolves abroad who think they own the symbol, but leaving an ancient cultural story to a bunch of fucks is the stupidest thing ever. This is the same level of stupid as saying Pepe the Frog is a white supremacist symbol.
