Yeah, the main poster doesn't get that the end result of veganism is the relegation of food species to very expensive, very impractical pets that many people won't see outside of youtube or in protected areas.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoWell, they probably do understand that but reject that on the same grounds they reject raising humans just to harvest their organs when they're 10 years old no matter how great of a life they had up until they were lead into the operating room. And organs actually save lives. It seems obviously unethical to me to raise a sentient organism (human or cow or cat) just to kill it prematurely for what's purely a luxury good for most people. Giving it a beach ball to play with seems completely ethically inconsequential. I wonder how many people who assert how great of a life this must be, only to be killed at someone else's pleasure, would accept this life for themselves or their children or even their pets. And they certainly buy their meat from the supermarket where their meat never got to play with a beach ball, anyways. It's closer to ethics-at-a-distance fantasy and utopian thought experiments instead of anything grounded in the horrors of reality.
