      Weird how every time veganism comes up everyone is suddenly deathly allergic to anything that doesn’t scream when it dies

        …every time veganism comes up…

        You mean every time that a vegan uses whatever tenuous link to the current topic they can imagine exists to bring up veganism?

          Post: animals have emotions

          Comment: we shouldn’t kill things with emotions

          I dunno seems pretty related. And when we’re feeling a lot of empathy for animals is probably the best time to think about these issues

            And then when someone brings a topic to discussion related to these issues

            “I can’t be vegan, i’m allergic to a lot of stuff”, suddenly it’s not about having a discussion anymore but rather to push one side of the story without consideration for others.

              You can still care about animal cruelty and be ethical, even if you have an allergy. Having a medical condition doesn’t give you a free pass to do whatever you want.

                You can still care about ethics and animal safety, and you are allowed to avoid foods you cannot eat due to allergy, even if that comes at an unfortunate cost

        Vegans complaining about other people needlessly injecting themselves into conversations is peak copium.

        Stuff from milk, mushrooms and eggs don’t scream, so do a lot of salads and olive oil, even rice is silent.

        And don’t start with those industrial cows that only get to live because of the milk. That stuff tastes like shit. Same with those chickens in cages.

          I’m pretty sure, that both cow and calf are screaming when they are separated shortly after birth. Alnost like a mother and her baby have an emotional bond.

          And even the smallest farm will absolutely kill them once they aren’t profitable anymore, or they’d have an ever increasing population of animals.

            Ummm… We don’t typically have just one pen or pasture for the animals. The males and females are typically kept separate from each other, except for when we specifically want more animals.

                We didn’t have cattle. Just horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, a couple turkeys, and rabbits… Tons of rabbits accidentally one time. We let them do their thing when we wanted more.

                  The context was factory farming in general and cows in particular. I’m glad you didn’t kill the animals your family raised, though!

        Some people can also just have health issues, but i get your point

        Plants scream when they die, we just don’t notice it. They release all sorts of pheromone type chemicals that warn other plants that there is danger. That’s definitely a scream.

        I’m not saying eating meat is better, I’m just saying that seemingly the only truly ethical things to eat are raw minerals, and I don’t believe that’s possible, other than salt. Salt seems to be the only tasty rock.

          Graphics cards totally scream when they die too, the smell warns their symbiotic sysadmins to turn off the power

          And don’t even get me started on how chalkboards scream when you scratch them, why do vegans not talk about this cruelty
