If your first date is a glorious scam heist, the future looks promising

Maybe don't order carnist options though

Why not let people excercise their liberty to decide for themselves. Plus how is this relevent to a date a majority of people are omnivorous anyways

I suggest you keep it to yourself next time, then, as you have only furthered the image that vegans are smug asshats who can't shut the fuck up about being vegan.

Maybe that's what you want though, it's just a suggestion. c:

If u took offence then it proves u are everything they claimed u to be.

That logic is bad and you should feel bad. You suck. If this comment makes you mad, you're only proving my point /s

It is not polite to use ad hominems rather than a logical argument.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

yet you, without evidence, attack your interlocutors as murderers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

They made an "if/then" statement based on your statement. They attacked the idea, not the person making it. No ad hominem detected.

Why are you angered?

Its not the liberty of the animals to be exploited and murdered.

The animals have no rights and no liberty. Plus if it wasnt for us farming them then their evolutionary niche wouldnt exist so if u think about it we are doing them the favour.

That’s not entirely true because there are expectations depending on the jurisdiction on the standard of care for animals, in several countries they’re legally seen as sentient beings not property.

Putting them in filthy crowded slaughter houses where they’re kicked and shoved only to be slaughtered as children relative to their life spans is not doing them favour. It is our responsibility to stop exploiting them.

the natural lifespan of livestock is exactly when they are slaughtered

The animals have no rights and no liberty.

Why?

Evolutionary niche

On the one hand, the breeding of animals dependent on humans destroys evolutionary niches for animals independent from humans, on the other hand, humans destroy evolutionary niches directly.

Farmers won't release or breed animals to improve their evolutionary niche, because farmers and consumers don't farm animals for conservatory reasons.
