The dad is making a big show of how much he supports his daughter... Yet still orders chicken?
(I know not all vegans demand others share their diet, but it would be a nice gesture for him to do)
Would it be as nice gesture if she was to share chicken with him?
TBF, her diet was an ethical choice, and his is probably an unexamined cultural default.
No, her being vegan is a dietary choice. No more or less ethical than being an omnivore or carnivore.
I don't mean ethical in the sense of her choice being good or bad, but in that people intentionally choose to be vegan because of their ethical belief, as opposed to a cultural preference or a medical restriction.
TBC, I'm not a vegan.
If you don't see ethical differences between killing a live creature and not doing so, your ethical compass is basically non-existent.
"If you don't see ethical differences between our real faith and other fake religions, your ethical compass is basically non-existent!"
Another evangelical vegan 🙄
the question is "why". as in 'why would you kll it" and if the answer is almost any justification (for food, for clothing, for medicine), then it's probably fine. everything dies and if their death serves some purpose, that's good.
It's also important to note that there's not a single part of the animal that doesn't get used.
Shit, even livestock that dies before slaughter gets used. Dirty Jobs has a few episodes about it
