Rabbits, raise rabbits and feed them the vegan food :) Being in a city dooms most of the population in an event like this anyway. Combine the fact most city dwellers have never harvested food or cleaned an animal let alone takens its life.

Just wanted to make sure you realized its not possible for animals to not consent or consent. So this idea you can decide for them means I can too. As a note : A large solar storm taking out the grid would show you how close we are to losin

Can you find a vegan who can show proof animals are capable of giving consent after giving the situation considerable thought ? Survival instinct is not allowed since you wont allow humans survival instinct to eat everything and anything to

The only way this sort of training would work IMO would be with sociopaths or psychopaths who dont have the huge adrenaline jump from emotional attachment to other humans.

It would be bloody, beyond that no idea. A demonstration like happening in Hong Kong likely wouldnt ever happen. I use the nevada rancher incident as an example. Govt agents backed down from armed "militia" to avoid the bloodshed.

Humans have rights, you dont grant them rights. Animals and plants do not have rights. You dont have the power to grant them rights. Animals and plants are food. Granny was right when she said people have it too good. Folks look around for

Wouldnt that be a common sense thing ? A criminal mind would use the tools available and a gun makes throwing rocks (chunks of lead) at people deadly more often than using your hand. Look at criminal states, those leaders use armies instead

This concept you can shoot to maim is silly. Hitting a man is hard if you practice shooting. In a chaotic situation with adrenaline its even harder. Shooting to hit is all you can do.

All higher life on this planet survives by eating another life form. Animal rights groups tend to elevate my food to having similar rights as humans. I find this to be a minimum facetious at maximum a threat to my life.
