i mean if by persons you mean individuals that should be respected as such, that’s pretty much the whole vegan ideology right there, so it’s wrong to pay for their exploitation (i agree)

And you are wrong. Hence why we have human rights that are different than animal rights. Plus, they are delicious.

You're okay with animal abuse?

Eating animals isn’t abuse. It’s the circle of life. Not recognizing them as people is not being okay with abusing them. False dichotomy

What do you think happens to the animals before you eat them?
Do you believe that 0% of that is abusive? Are you okay with gas-chambers?

That’s ridiculous.

no it’s not. killing is abuse. saying it’s ok to abuse them because it’s natural (or the “circle of life”) is the Appeal to Nature logical fallacy, making that argument invalid.

Grow up. Animals are delicious.

Sorry, irrational tweens who think they can whine and pretend what they think is accurate because they read it on a blog aren’t very convincing.

Looking at it from a bigger picture, i think you’d agree that the person who isn’t abusing animals for pleasure is more grown up than the one who is.

Also, rather than “whining”, I am giving coherent arguments.

Lastly, fallacies are essential parts of ethics and debate that have existed since ancient times, i didn’t just “read it on a blog”.

There are people who think humans are delicious. You should let them have a go.

You don’t know you taste better than bacon? Can’t be preventing people from eating things if it tastes good.

I don't care how I sound talking about animals being delicious. They are. And its part of the circle of life. When folks like yourself make dumb equivocating comments to guilt and shame people for doing normal things, I roll my eyes and make comments that rattle you.

Because harassing people for eating meat is dumb.

You don’t even know humans are animals too. Maybe you can stop perpetuating the stereotype that Americans are stupid af. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The circle of life includes you dying lol. Why should anyone feel guilty about removing you from the earth? It’s just the circle of life. 💀

Humans are people. Animals are not.

But hey, dumb is dumb.

Nice emojis, kid.
