What's wrong with that? Species shouldn't exist at the expense of the individuals it comprises.

The range of foods I eat now has expanded so much and I'm not even sure where to begin on that question. I'll go with most surprising favorite, which is Misr Wat. Can't believe it took me until my late 20s to try Ethiopian fo

And yes - by my logic, it's unethical to eat meat. I don't accept it now either.

Show me a person who genuinely believes killing others unnecessarily is acceptable and we've got much bigger problems than the ethics of meat. The problem isn't getting people to agree with moral axioms. It's getting people t

If we have a healthy, satisfying alternative - the ethical question of "Is it acceptable to kill or harm individuals unnecessarily?" has a very clear answer no matter who you're talking with.

I grew up subsisting on meat and pasta, hating vegetables. I've been a vegan for over ten years and fulfilled the whole time. There's a ton of amazing animal-free food out there that you should try either way. Once I started explo

Oh I understood. I just think he's got a long way to go if the connection merely shows him what muscle group his food came from.

Directly? Very few. Indirectly? Almost everyone.

I really doubt you or most other people can imagine what weeks of torture with death inevitably looming actually feels like. I think almost anyone would choose dying painlessly.

This article and the comment both referred to domesticated slaughtered animals, so your reply isn't directly applicable. But can we assume you exclusively eat wild animals? Otherwise it's completely irrelevant.
491.
by Falling3 11y ago
Agreed. At best, the article is an unsupported appeal to Nature.

I find it really strange that people think the way to connect with an individual is to cut up their dead body. I understand the sentiment, but it seems like a far cry from any sort of real connection with "the animal".

The premise that the lack of slaughtering/butchering manifests itself elsewhere does not seem to be supported by the evidence. In fact, what we often see is the exact opposite. The introduction of slaughterhouses correlate with increas

And if someone inserts a needle into you to take your blood and potentially transmits a dangerous disease? If we weren't on the topic of animal rights, there would be no disagreement with the assessment of self-defense.

Of course it can. Personhood is a philosophical concept in addition to a legal one. Empirically verifiable criteria can be and are set for what constitutes a person.

by Falling3 11y ago
Are you going to explain how it's ridiculous or it just is because you don't like it? It's incredible how all logic goes out the window in a group of otherwise very intelligent people when the topic of animal rights comes up.

> I've never been impressed by the 'speciesist' argument, either. I have yet to find a person who has not killed a mosquito... Self-defense does not invalidate speciesism.

by Falling3 11y ago
No they aren't. Speciesism refers to moral distinctions made based solely on the basis of species membership.

Factory farms are the big problem because they're the entire industry. There is absolutely no way to feed people at anywhere near the current consumption levels with pasture-raised animals.

I see people being taken by the actual hoax weekly. Maybe your friends just have better critical thinking skills than mine.

Combine this with a Markov Chain and you get a nice story teller.

Or ya know. The rest of the people here have very different lives and more often surround themselves with intelligent people of both sexes. You've made it very clear that your selection process for females is incredibly unlikely to att

Most inventory management software is fairly generalized. If you're doing anything outside the box, it can be very difficult to rely on off the shelf solutions and, at best, companies may require additional software to interact with th

I come at mindfulness from a Buddhist perspective and I'm certainly not qualified to speak at any length on the topic. With that said, it should be a conflict abating - not inducing. There are no separate 'yous', but the proc

In this particular game, that would make things significantly easier. One player stands still while everyone else gets into position.

I've used it and had plenty of good experiences. I went on about have a dozen dates and ended up making some good female friends. There really is a wide range of people on there. (disclaimer: I'm a male)

That doesn't typically stop us. Cows (especially young ones) are incredibly cute. Lamb are the quintessence of cuteness. Rabbits are cute as well.
