      I can side with the vegans that the meat industry needs to be clamped down on hard

      But eating meat in of itself is not wrong, that is what is natural

        Yo this seems to be a bad take

        I think something that defines humanity is that we really try not to follow the “rules of nature”, ie. the rule of the stronger over the weaker

          Almost all herbivores are opportunistic carnivores. Cows are known to eat rats found in the hay. Horses sometimes gobble down a chick if they feel like it.

          All these strict rules people believe about biology were prescribed by scholars of old who believed in a perfect creation where everything had its place, but reality is very messy.

        99% of vegans dont say eating meat in itself is wrong and this bullshit narrative needs to stop

        Edit: I wrote “in itself” to make it especially clear, but it seems people are skipping that part. The act of eating meat can not be evil, carnivorous animals do it for survival. The context is always what matters.

          I would go as far as to say that most vegans wouldn’t have a moral problem with eating roadkill. The physical act of eating meat is only harmful to an animal if it’s still alive while you’re eating it. The problem is the part before that, where you paid someone to hurt it

          🤣 go to the Lemmy vegan community and say that. I’m sure you’ll easily get 99 upvotes and only a single downvote

            I can go to a conservative community and say liberals have horns and get the same result. It proves nothing.
