oh no my natural predator the fox

*vores you*

if veganism is right then why are animals carinvores? if killing animals for food is wrong then why can animals kill other animals for food? we're animals too so whats wrong with killing animals for food? its natural

human technology and society have developed enough so that many can live a good life with barely any need for animal suffering

veganism is about choosing to live that way. avoiding any unnecessary cruelties.

non-sapient animals can't choose, and we can't apply moral standards to them

the only true form of veganism is cannibalism, you only eat evil people while letting cabbages, tomatoes and birds live

also, saying that something is good because it's natural is not a valid argument

among many cultures, including ours, there are lots of moral values that are based on acting against your animal nature (E.g. monogamy, selflessness, non-violence).

shit i shouldn't be taking this seriously

If Vegans didn't have to kill other life to survive, they might have a point. The problem is they don't, they eat Fungi and plants.
If you've ever met people who raise chickens, they will tell you Chickens are stupid. Firstly they can live out the rest of their natural lifespan without a head.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken
Secondly, they don't have have strong survival instincts, or ability to survive. You can have eagles kill the chicken right next to them, and have the chicken react not by entering the chicken coop, or anywhere else that would be relatively safe from the chicken attacks. Instead they will ignore it, and then get killed themselves. I've heard of stories of chickens drowning to death, because they were standing in a hole when it started raining, and the never thought to move so they drowned to death.

I legitimately believe there are mushrooms that are smarter than chickens. It's more ethical to eat a chicken then shiitake

Collective intelligence doesn’t equate to an increased ability to register and feel discomfort from pain. They register the “fuck this dude just died signal” and try and avoid such things, but to say that fungi/plants are capable of feeling pain in the same way that animals do is ridiculous. If you’re searching for a reason to help you sleep easier after eating a mcchicken, look harder.

ok mushroom simp

That being said, from what I’ve read, it’s common practice to electrically numb them before death, so pain doesn’t really play into it. That leaves you with the quality of life concern: is the animal living a worse life than it’s wild counterparts? Certainly. And yes chickens are retarded, but the same social/intelligent behavior as other animals, some we commonly take as pets, can be observed in them: probably the most notable being play.

Anyways you can go ahead and make fun of me now for making a serious post in a meme thread.

thank you wesoda i love you

shut the fuck up..
please..... just
shut the fuck up..........

You could say the same of mushroom farms, and of actual farms.
Why is factory farming of chickens bad, but factory farming of plants okay? You're killing life either way. Why are they putting the lives of chicken above fungi?

I agree with the title

Veganism is a flawed ideology because I passively ignore 99% of human suffering so why would I care about the terrible fate the processed meat source in front of me underwent to give me this moment of fleeting joy amidst the dull misery and ennui~~

Valuing life itself has nothing to do with Veganism you seem confused

Are you perhaps mad at jainists instead

recent research has shown plants can have reactions similar to pain even without a nervous system

now i'm not using this to argue against veganism per say, this is part of my larger theory

the pain is taste theory

the more you make something hurt the better it tastes

think abaht eeet

The reason grass fed free range cattle tastes better is because despair hits harder when you've known hope

the reason chips are better than boiled is because being fried is way worse than being gently boiled

It all makes sense

So then why aren't they eating animals? I thought the reasons vegans didn't eat meat was because they valued the lives of animals, and didn't want Nelly cooked and served for breakfast.

valuing life itself =/= valuing the life and well-being of animals

jesus christ you're dumb

don't go vegan just eat healthier

folks so mad at veganism they turn a joke thread into an actual debate

Stickymayhem isnt hurting anyone i dont know why you guys need to attack him when he isn't deliberately going out of his way to be a preachy annoying fartbag

Sticky and his roving band of vegans killed my parents and sold my siblings into slavery.

It's called do gooder derogation and there's actually research on it: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.117 ... 0611415695

dont get me wrong sticky when you preach about veganism i wanna fart on your mouth but you havent been doing that lately so you're cool and this thread is unnecessary

super aggro brap

No, actually stress very negatively affects the meat quality, its taste. That's why as a hunter you aim for a quick kill.
