Appropriating the flesh and secretions of animals for humans to use.

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

true, let arrest the entire animal kingdom, those damn bastards aren't gonna stand a chance

That’s a strawman. You’re not a lion, you wear shoes for crying out loud maybe should we all go barefoot according to your logic or eat our young because that’s what the animal kingdom does.

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But I walk most of the time barefoot lol, eating the young would dope too

The ol’ sealioning trick.

[–] VictoriaAScharleau@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

this is a strawman. they didn't say we should only do what's natural.

I think it's more "people are more likely to be punished for trespassing when exposing farming conditions, than the farmer are likely to be charged with some form of abuse or cruelty"

Even though I know that eating meat is immoral, it is not on the same level as genocide; no one should even pretend that it is.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Eating meat is not immoral. Industrial farming is the problem.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Meat is immoral as it is enslaving and murdering other animals. You wouldn’t say that if we were eating your flesh or your dog’s.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Shows how little you actually think about these things. There are situations where that would actually be something I would be okay with.

Taking a position like yours is actually detrimental due to the fact you refuse to see other possibilities

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like projection to me.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And you sound like a standard issue "meat eating makes you a bad person" hippy.

Look, you aren't the moral standard, and neither am I.

You want me to stop eating meat, don't bring religious ferver to the discussion.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Let’s focus on the victims involved with eating meat, for the chickens who have their necks rung or the pigs who are slaughtered on an assembly line. You’re responsible for that as a meat eater as you pay for that, so owe up to it.

I don’t have anyone’s life ruined or ended for my own pleasure. So don’t compare me to you.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Like I said bringing religious ferver isn't going to convince me.

And I wasn't comparing myself to you.

And where in this conversation have I tried to side step any of my responsibilities?

Take a fucking moment to read AND understand. Otherwise you are just spouting drivel.

I’m done debating a rude person who is arguing in bad faith.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Cool, because you weren't actually debating but talking down to me. Talk about rudness when you aren't.

Or is every Inuit person immoral for living their traditional lifestyle?

Edit: I would like a good faith answer about the Inuit people's diet.

Farm animals are part of a genocide too

[–] VictoriaAScharleau@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

it's not a genocide. we don't want to wipe out dairy cows or broiler chickens.
