I also don't need air conditioning, television, internet, or food seasonings


we don't need to justify slaughtering animals, because there's nothing wrong with it.

go home.

Yes there would, I'm human.


You know what I think of you!


I think you're wrong and I respectfully disagree with your uninformed and preachy opinion.

Not at all.

If you eat meat, you should be okay with killing and eating humans.

Humans deserve to eat animals. We're at the top of the food chain.

I mean I actually have no strong aversion to eating non-spinal human flesh. But I recognize killing other humans is agreed to be wrong, and I agree with that assertion.

but if you die and there is no food, I'm not going to hesitate.

these are the kinds of arguments that if not laughed down would eventually lead the human race into voluntary murderkilling of all life or at least societal suicide in an effort to "completely remove our impact on the environment".

oh wait, you want that bullshit to happen.

Yup!

Fuck the human race.

Animals are resources like trees.

Prove me wrong.

Eating animals is indefensible with current slaughterhouse methods and factory farm conditions. There are literally no ways anybody can possibly defend the amount of stress, pain, and mistreatment that animals go through in the agricultural industry because you like the taste of steak.

Veganism, or at least vegetarianism with strong legislation to deter abuse and animal discomfort, is the way of the future. I see a greater number of people adopting progressively more vegetarian diets all the time, and there's no doubt that trends indicate it's on the rise. We've got commercially available meat substitutes, which are only becoming higher and higher quality. Lab-grown meat will take off within the next two or so decades, and at that point, people won't have anything to complain about at all.

The only reason I can even remotely stomach the fact that I eat chicken at my university is because all farms our dining commons receive food from are local, and I can look into each individual farm's practices and regulations to see what's going on inside of them (Luckily, they're not complete shit). And I'm not proud that I eat chicken, but I'm happy that, at the minimum, I've stopped eating all red meat.

You're not above a fucking cockroach.

I am very much literally above a cockroach.

Animals are resources just like trees.

Prove me wrong.

Nobody is doubting that animals can be used as resources. The issue is whether or not they are a mistreated. They're resources that are capable of feeling pain, misery, and discomfort, so we should take appropriate measures to ensure that those unpleasant feelings aren't inflicted onto them. Slapping the term "Resource" onto them doesn't somehow mitigate the immorality of causing them to pain for unjustified reasons.
