I’m not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I’m talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they’re obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the “tradition” stuff, it’s just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don’t tell me it’s to eat, like I said, I’m not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don’t tell me you’re respectful to the animals you kill; I don’t believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

    You sure nailed unpopular, although I’m on the fence about of its unpopular or your set of rules and refusing to hear the argument about eating is what’s unpopular.

    Either way going to the grocery shop and buying meat is a purely psychopathic trait.

    Knowing the animal has farmed for the soul purpose of being consumed, its entire life spent in a small enclosed area awaiting death.

    The amount of disassociation that must go on for you to do this is insane.

    And miss me with the sustainable farming and ethically farmed story. I’m not talking about that, just the torture and slaughter of millions of animals so you can have a burger from the shop.

      I agree and don’t eat meat, I just wanted to extra call out the creepiness of going out of ones way to personally end the life of something without bringing up the usual trash arguments about respecting something you killed by eating it. That didn’t go well. Same dumb excuses as usual.

        what are those “dumb arguments” and why do you disagree? you just push away everyone’s arguments without giving any valid reason

          • you kill insects so you’re just as bad
          • But I eat it so it’s ethical and respectful (nothing to do with the opinion I expressed)
          • Cats are different than game
          • Population control (nothing to do with the opinion I expressed)

          I’m pushing away the arguments because they don’t actually address my point. They’re bad rhetoric. THEY are not giving valid reasons, it’s the same stuff I’ve heard before and it’s still bad rhetoric, that’s why I’m pushing them away. Pick one and we can go through it if you want.
