      I mean, a disproportionate amount of the vegans I’ve seen talk and act like her. I don’t mind as long as they mind their own business and let me have my cheese lol

        Possibly because you can’t tell whether random normal people on the street or online are vegan.

          No? I don’t care if people are vegan, or if they eat vegan in front of me (obviously). I don’t care if they tell me that they’re vegan. I only care if they start screaming at me about the “animal Holocaust”. Doesn’t happen much, but it does.

            Try to see it from the vegans pov. Vegans have this conviction that it is wrong to torture and kill animals for pleasure and you tell them “yeah but cheese lol”.

            Of course they would like you to think about the consequences of your actions.

              Sounds about the same as Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. I’d still prefer for them to leave me alone. Morality is subjective. I don’t personally think that I’m causing as much destruction as some people think I am. I think that the meat industries could definitely be more humane, but that’s not my problem right now. I am pretty willing to give up beef products though.

                Wait, so I take it you are not of the Mormon or JW faith, yeah? Does that mean that you don’t believe that animals feel pain and suffering? Otherwise I don’t really see what religion and faith have to do with this.

                Morality is subjective.

                Of course it is! Do you believe causing pain and suffering for pleasure and without consent can be morally?

                I don’t personally think that I’m causing as much destruction as some people think I am.

                Again, I agree. Billionaires are by far worse for our planet and it’s inhabitants. At the same time, I don’t want to cause others pain just because I am not responsible for droughts because my stupid AI farms used up all the water lol

                I think that the meat industries could definitely be more humane

                Well, what way would you like to be killed humanely, if there is no reason for it, other than pleasure?

                  Raised Mormon, know quite a bit about both. Both go door to door harassing people to join and renounce their unholy lives. Not exactly the same, but still rather annoying. We’re animals. Is it immoral for a bear, an omnivorous animal, to kill and eat salmon? Is it wrong to kill mosquitoes or house flies because of them mildly annoying us? I care about two things in this situation. Keeping our species alive and healthy, and keeping the planet from being destroyed. Looks like the second thing isn’t happening, so it’s all fucked, but that’s rather irrelevant. As long as animals aren’t in pain and having decent enough lives, up until the moment of their death, I don’t feel bad about it. To answer your last question, shot to the head. I’ll do it myself.

                    No, clearly the bear doesn’t know better. Do you think its immoral for a bear to have sex without consent? Of course not, and yet (I hope) you wouldn’t say the same thing about humans.

                    Keeping our species alive and healthy, and keeping the planet from being destroyed.

                    A species is not really something that can be healthy and for members of our species veganism seems to be fine, according to countless studies and, well, millions of vegans that are living healthy lives.

                    As long as animals aren’t in pain and having decent enough lives

                    But how would you know that the animal parts/products that you buy are from animals that aren’t weren’t in pain?

                    To answer your last question, shot to the head. I’ll do it myself.

                    Nah you wouldn’t get to do it yourself. Someone just decides that it would be fun to do. Is that humane? What if it’s done to someone from your family? Still humane?
