What if I like meat but don’t want to be responsible for animal suffering?
- colordrops 4y agoDepends on how important animal suffering is vs eating pleasure to you, but you could considered curbing your cravings and just not eating it.
- teg4n_ 4y agoI’m sure they hadn’t considered that.
- colordrops 4y agoMost people don't. They ignore the issue maintain cognitive dissonance, because the choice is too difficult for them. I don't think it was completely unintended that burying your head in the sand and going back to ignorant bliss is represented by eating a steak in The Matrix.
- tomca32 4y agoI mean if I can still get that pleasure and not contribute to animal suffering why not do that?
- colordrops 4y agoThat's not yet a choice.
- aliqot 4y agoeat animals after they die of natural causes
- TheDong 4y agoIs that different from becoming vegetarian in any meaningful way? There is 0 availability of such meat, especially not at anything approaching a commercial scale.
- headsoup 4y agoCollect and eat road kill then... Oh wait that's gross so no way. People make choices on what morally fits their views, not on logical solutions.
- headsoup 4y agoThen don't eat plants or have pets or deal with people who do either. It's not a simple issue to just make a big yes/no choice on, much as you might feel good or less guilty for doing so.
