Yeah but what about my cat? What about animals in the wild? How can we stop them from eating meat?
But what about you?
"You're supposed to pretend that you're something speshul and above those filthy, disgusting and immoral animals!" - vegans.
EDIT, replying to a comment (from another poster? the same poster?) elsewhere. I think that it was answering this comment, but the thread got deleted so...
Yes, it does. Unless you also expect other omnivorous species and the carnivorous ones to refrain to eat meat… do you? (You don't.)
And yes, this makes sense even if it hurts your "precious, oooh so preeecious!" feelings of superiority over other animals.
The false dichotomy is so fucking dumb that it makes me think that you're implictly admitting to not have any actual argument at hand.
If you want a serious reply then bring up some something not so infested by fallacies as the above, otherwise I'll just keep laughing at you, "sorry".
(Arguably also loaded language but I’ll cut you some slack on that, given that it has some entertainment value.)
Yeah, not eating animals means we think we’re “above” them because that makes sense. Also some other animal killer here in the comments flat out said “humans are above animals, this is fact” but evil vegans think they’re above animals!
How is it relevant to the question I'm asking?
How are your cat and animals in the wild relevant to your choices for yourself?
I agree with you that it's a personal choice. I was replying to someone who seemed to imply that it wasn't, and was suggesting that someone who eats meat can just stop doing it. I think that, for some people or some cultures, transitioning to a vegan diet isn't that easy.
I love how you say it’s a personal choice then drone on about how people in “some” cultures find it difficult to be vegan but never did you say “hey I live in the Arctic circle where we’re forced to eat animals” (or something like that) so I imagine that for you the issue is irrelevant and you’re just choosing to eat animals.
Oh yeah I was totally suggesting animals should all go vegan too /s
It was an honest question, and you didn't answer it.
That was my answer. My snarky reply was intended to demonstrate how stupid it was for you to suggest that considering I never brought up that issue.
