      They have a history of posting anti-women content, and anti-vegan/vegetarian content.

      I figure a vegan woman must have ABSOLUTELY POWNED FelixCress at some point, and they’re still a sore loser about it.

        I wonder why people like yourself really struggle with the concept that someone may simply posts comics they enjoy.

        Oh, and this one I posted has been created by woman artist. Vegan as well.

          “I could never say anything racist or hold racist views because some of my best friends are black”

          Uhuh. Not as mind blowing as you might think.

              Yeah, you enjoy hanging shit on vegans (and occasionally women). It’s your thing. Glad we’re on the same page.

              I enjoyed making fun of you for it.

                Yup, dig your heels in 👍

                Some people here are hilarious in their one dimensional thinking and their besieged fortress syndrome.

    I’ve resolved recently that I can only eat animals the will seek out and kill other animals / bugs for food under standard conditions. So no cows, deer. Etc but turkey, chicken, fish all on the table

    Bacteria and plants are far game because they have no nervous system.

          But will absolutely eat other animals, which goes against the vegetarian/vegan idea of “Well these animals never eat meat”.

          They sure as fuck do. It’s called an opportunistic carnivore. If you as a human base your entire diet on imitating the majority of ‘herbivores’, then you better be eating meat several times a year.

            I literally never said I was vegan or vegetarian. I literally said I’d eat any carnivore lol. Why are you freaking out.

            Deer and cows are opportunistic carnivore but it’s not a major source of nutrients like it is for other animals and they generally don’t choose to unless there’s and issue.

            https://deerassociation.com/what-do-deer-eat/

            It’s not like a academic resource but it’s not like deer are out here hunting down bunnies bro.

            How is it vegan / Vegetarian to go “I’m only going to eat predator species”

            Fish, birds, rodents etc do eat insects and other animals as major parts of their diets.

    The problem is that this is a valid argument, a lot of morality ultimately comes down to drawing the line on what you think its ok to kill in order to maintain your survival and comfort.

      The vegan’s argument isn’t valid, but it’s on the way to it. If the carnivore does believe that life isn’t sacred, that does not imply they would condone eating all types of meat. It sort of leads into the “name the trait” argument that vegans use to have carnivores identify what makes certain foods morally permissible to eat, but not others. If such a trait is chosen, you can have a valid argument that it is morally acceptable to eat a dog/cat/human that lacks said trait.

      The carnivore’s argument seems to just be a strawman. I have never heard a vegan say all life is equally valuable. Typically vegans oppose the unnecessary exploitation of animals on the basis of the suffering inflicted and lack of ability to consent. This has some edge cases for life that we classify as animals but may not be capable of suffering, but a person committed to the idea that plants and fungi cannot be eaten either will obviously not be able to argue their position for long.

      Many vegans would eat lab grown meat. Some may even eat meat that was harvested ethically, such as an animal that died in an accident, as that would not reasonably lead to encouraging any future suffering. And in an emergency situation, almost everyone would eat meat that they would need to survive. None of this contradicts the principle that preventable suffering should be minimized.

    Because dogs, cats, and humans don’t have the same nutritional value as other meats.

    As most life cycles go; Lifeform A consumes lifeform C, requiring nutrients Z, and produces nutrients X. Lifeform B doesn’t produce nutrients X and consumes lifeform A, producing nutrients Y. Lifeform B dies, gets decomposed by lifeform C that turns nutrients Y into nutrients Z.

    If lifeform B consumes another lifeform B, or something similar to lifeform B, then they won’t get nutrients X.

    You get the idea.
