    cows were killed before anybody bought meat. there is no reason to believe that will stop even if you stop buying it.

      Are you a bad faith troll, or is this supposed to be a serious argument?

          That’s sad, what an illogical approach to an ethical dilemma.

          “Oh well, people died before laws were introduced, may as well go on a killing spree” - right? Nothing else matters?

            “Oh well, people died before laws were introduced, may as well go on a killing spree”

            this is a strawman. my argument is more like “you may object to killing animals for food, but your method is not an effective way to stop it”

              Which is an incredibly stupid point, because it presupposes that reducing needless deaths only has value if absolutely every single death is prevented. This, of course, is completely illogical - even one death that was prevented has value.

              But we don’t care about silly things like “logic” here, right?

              Not to mention that your original point was that you bear no responsibility for the deaths of animals you consume, but who cares as long as you can keep giving stupid arguments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                right. and this speaks directly to that.

                  What the fuck are you talking about? Your response has nothing to do with my point. Complete non-sequitur.

                    isn’t your point that you think by abstaining from consuming meat, meat production will be impacted? the production grows incessantly. it’s obvious that meat producers do not care whether you buy meat.
