How do you know someone eats animals? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yup. And if you tell someone you don’t eat meat online, there’s always people that will say “Just for that, I’m gonna eat DOUBLE meat tonight!”

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

Only if their mom brings them more tendies into their basement.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (17 children)

Maybe if you understand why people react like that, you can be more than just frustrated about it. Most people know that it's morally questionable to eat meat, but they do it so often they'd have to consider themself evil to accept that. The alternative is to just double down on it and exclaim that the non-meat eater is the baddie for pushing their beliefs on people. You can notice it when you just subtly bring it up and the way people overreact.

I don’t know if it goes that deep. Lately in the US it seems like yet another anti-woke playbook thing for the far right.

I've noticed this projection almost always, as well. In my experience vegans usually keep it to themselves, yet those who eat meat tend to latch onto veganism and keep going on about it.

I eat meat, no intention to quit at this moment, however I rarely hear about vegans irl. People who don't like veganism for some reason? I hear them all the time.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny, in my experience it's the vegans that are the loudest at it.

Only if you neutered them very young. Removal of the testicles reduces the potential for odor and taint associated with male hormones in boars after puberty. If you didn't do this to your pet pig, you are going to regret it when you cook it.

Source: My mother ran the local 4H club. Kids shouldn't see live castrations of animals IMHO. Especially since they are mostly done without anesthesia. The squeals still haunt me.

The fact that people are so insulated from the suffering of the animals they eat is part of the problem

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

More like part of the “solution”, created and upheld intentionally by the meat&dairy industry, incl. happy pictures of cows on an open field in the sunshine. I eat meat, but I would be stupid argue that vegans aren’t right. The suffering and cruelty we are causing animals (and the related pollution to the planet) is unacceptable.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Seeing suffering doesn't result in more empathy, it results in psychological damage and often in less empathy - losing empathy is a coping mechanism.

Maybe no one should see it?

There's pretty widely documented evidence that slaughterhouse work is also harmful to mental health.

If dogs go to heaven, then what do they eat there?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago

Doggy heaven is squirrel hell its a very efficient system.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Cats. Cats are evil and go to hell. Their hell is to be food for heaven's carnivores.

Cats are notorious dicks. Why act surprised? 🙀

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Meanwhile I've owned dozens of cats and no dogs and have more scars from dogs than cats

In aus at least cats are pests that kill baby birds are single handedly responsible for putting hundreds of speicies on the endagered spieces list and have helped many go extinct so maybe a cat didnt hurt him maybe a cat just hurt the enviroment he loved.

Labrador meat is premium, it really has to be heaven https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/meet-the-dogs

Would anyone or anything in heaven eat? Hunger is but a manifesting of the unimmaculaticity of flesh.

ITT

Commenter 1: I love killing and eating one of those animals of similar intelligence and sentience! So sad the one I don't eat is sad.

Commenter 2: I don't understand the downvotes

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Hardly anything is evil, but most things are hungry. Hunger looks very much like evil from the wrong end of the cutlery. Or do you think your bacon sandwich loves you back?"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (13 children)

I didn't realise people ate bacon sandwiches out of pure necessity.

I love eating all animals. They all should have the same rights to become a dinner. Stop opressing dogs and their rights!

Do you think murderers and the murdered get together in the afterlife to joke about it

If God is real then he's a sadistic psychopath who would make it a reality show format.
