I think the most basic respect you can offer an animal is to just not kill it.
That's fair. I accept that I am not the second coming, but I live in this world as best I can while still enjoying the comforts it offers
i don't think any living animal actively offers themself for your culinary pleasure.
Well there's that one guy that wanted someone to eat his penis or whatever. I believe he even paid.
Is this the guy who wanted to have gay sex before the cannibalism while the other guy was mostly just there for the cannibalism?
Then that guy got convicted for murder on a technicallity because the footage (they also recorded everything) showed that the guy whose penis was eaten had yet to die from bloodloss like he wanted?
I heard that one on a Redhanded podcast episode.
Yeah I believe that's the same one
The internet is what enabled this to happen.
Is that why you feel the way you do?
Not exactly but it's not irrelevant lol
Perhaps not, but he openly admits he does his best. That's enough
Their best is to accept the death of a sentient species to satisfy a simple carnal pleasure? Pathetic.
Not everyone carries your value system. Get over it.
You respect where your food comes from. Enjoy your well-deserved comforts, haters are gonna hate
Speaking of food, love the UN! Spinach is one of my favorite things.
Thank you, I'm also a huge fan of spinach! I also love lazy wordplay and alliteration - I've been thinking of making an alt account called lethargiclettuce just cuz haha. Your UN also made me smile for the same reason haha
That should apply to all living things. Kind of makes it hard to survive if we do that, though.
There's a goldilocks zone where our own individual longevity can be met while simultaneously causing the least harm to all life, within practicality. That zone being within the territory of the blue zones to one degree or another. Or to be straight to the point, it is completely unnecessary for the vast majority of people to ever need to depend on animal products for food.
Not really. Just like everything else it's just a little bit of a learning curve. Then it becomes normal and easy.
Not eating anything at all is "just a bit of a learning curve"?! What, are you one of those breatharians?
Not eating meat obviously.
Right, that's not what I was talking about.
Then I don't understand your main comment. You mean stuff like bugs that hit your windshield?
