Oh boy, a post tangentially related to vegans. Who else is ready for a very sane and normal comment sectiiioooonnn!?!?!?
Op: Makes post about PETA
Godric: OH GOD I HAVE TO BE OFFENDED ABOUT VEGANS
everyone else: Who the fuck said anything about Vegans?!
I assumed Godric was anticipating “very normal” anti-vegan comments XD
Vegans will have history side with them. However, farming and pastoralism is a way of life for many people. It’s a job passed down from generation to generation. It’s one of the world’s oldest job. Unlike fossil fuels where there is no sentimental attachment and we can tell people to reskill, farming isn’t. Some cultures and communities centre their identity to farming and pastoralism. How do we convince farmers and herders to give up the practice because it is extremely damaging not just to the environment, but to the entire human species?
Even though farmers do worry about the climate change making seasons becoming less predictable and yields becoming less productive, they are also the same people who complain and felt hindered by climate change policies, so they vote for the right wing parties that provide easy answer band aid solutions, but have far more dire and longer term consequences.
The problem is capitalism Fuck meat industry
Blame capitalism as much as we want, but in this case it isn’t some nebulous boogeyman. Who are the people supporting capitalism? Who are the people selling meat to the meat industry? The same people who I am talking about. There is naïveté that farmers don’t have a hand in exacerbating climate change. Holistically, we are all to blame.
Hahah as if peta has friends.
Woah, PETA, people are animals too! You shouldn’t be roasting them XD
I, for one, think it’s great that PETA is branching out and disappointing somebody else’s parents for a change.

I’ll make that a post give me a sec
The world is just one tandoori soya chaap away from turning vegetarian forever. Remember that.
PETA can only take the easy and lame options, which is why they went after my mom
I stopped eating almost any beef after discovering the cute cow gifs subreddit. They can be so puppy like! They’re also huge methane machines and having fewer cows would be good for the environment.
On the other hand, I crave a good pot roast maybe once a year.
Edit: and I can name my mother’s favorite childhood cow and the cow my grandpa let me name because we shared a birthday.
Cows when young are absolutely puppy like. We had a pet calf when I was a kid named Softy. My stepmom insisted we buy him and bring him home when we visited a rural county fair because he was so cute. He ended up thinking that he was one of our dogs for a while, even played fetch (poorly heh). Once he got big (and admittedly mean as hell), someone ended up stealing him from his pasture while we were away for the day. Poor Softy.
I unfortunately like beef too much. But I know the impact the meat industry has and try to reduce my intake. I was down to two meals with meat a month before I got a job that wouldn’t let me be picky.

Maybe we should have a specific holiday like Thanksgiving but for cows. I vote for St Patrick’s Day. Beyond meat and black beans are cool and good but you can pry corned beef out of my cold dead fingers.
I have a soft spot for cabbage food, so I’d happily celebrate St Patrick’s with some corned beef cabbage rolls/gołąbki.
how about labor day or memorial day? they are typically good grilling/smoking/barbecue holidays, and i could throw on a brisket or something
We should eat snakes on St. Patricks.
I actually have reduced my beef consumption quite a bit. More for my personal health reasons than any other reason though.
funny thing the sea sherperds founder left peta, because they wernt aggressive enough with thier eco-activisim, im guessing they are getting there.
Cow hugging therapy exists actually.
what about cow milking therapy, or bull milking?
Buddy get yourself a partner!
If this is real… I really don’t see how this guy thought this quip would work out. Even without the funny Mum joke, they could have just responded with any name.
They respond “Daisy” what’s he going say now? How’s he going to disprove that?
that kind of attitude just proves that animals are just the facade for them
Hitting a disingenuous reply guy with a lazy zinger: Based

Don’t mind me, I’m just here to complain about vegans.
