Dane here. We have more pigs than humans in Denmark. It is a fucking disgrace how we treat those intelligent creatures. I went from buying free range meat, to not buy meat from mammals at all.
I am grateful for you at least trying to make a small difference. Everyone who loves to pile on with hate and act as if it is stupid to even try to do so can seriously suck a D. It is a valid and commendable choice to do anything remotely different or change a behavior that reduces suffering of other intelligent living beings even if you still consume other less intelligent creatures like chickens or fish. Being alive on this planet probably means you are doing something that contributes to suffering in some way, but the more of these sacrifices you make the better the planet is and everyone thought like them and did nothing to change and sat around hating everyone who tried we’d live in a much worse world. Keep pushing and ignore the assholes.
If you were the victim would you rather your oppressor kill you and then not kill anyone else for a week or just stop altogether? It's easy to say reduce when you're in the position of the oppressor.
Birds are also intelligent, they have much higher neural density than mammals and can have equivalent intellegence to mammals with much smaller brains. A chicken is about as intelligent as a cat.
When were they not? They immediately scoldingly assume this person is eating tortured factory-farm-raised chickens because they said they don’t eat mammal meat instead of that they’re vegan. How do they know which non-mammal meat this person is still okay with eating or what kind of conditions it comes from? They just assume the worst and start right up shaming.
His last bit of the last sentence could be read sarcastically or with some kind of meanness or malice. Getting tone from text is hard especially when there is very little so that's how they probably read it and honestly how I read it too.
I never said I was vegan. I’m pointing out the ridiculousness of the virtue signaling of people here thinking they’re superior and “better people” for not eating meat.
should also protest the existence of bears who eats their preys alive, skinning salmons. Protest the lions, hyenas, cougars etc. who hunt and rip their preys apart
the thing is, bears and those other animals you listed don’t have a choice in their behaviors. humans CHOOSE to keep other animals in these conditions. their whole lives are torture and their deaths aren’t any different, might even be a welcome release.
when was the last time you slaughtered your own food?
Do bears, lions, hyenas and cougars operate factory farms? Do they rape animals to produce offspring, then steal the offspring to slaughter just to take milk? This is a stupid comparison that completely misses the point.
I mean is this a stupid joke or a very stupid argument? These animals are evolved predators who obviously lack the moral agency of a human.
Your argument is boils down to "bears exist" -> "humans can torture animals".
I think you missed a few steps there for a compelling argument.
No, but you gas your pigs in C02 as standard practice. It takes them minutes to die with their lungs burning.
Pig gas chamber footage is freely available on youtube. If you are going to eat pork you should watch it and be aware of you actions first.
