    Comparing animal ranching to slavery and artificial insemination to rape.

    You’re literally going against the definition of words.

    The animals do not have a choice, they do not want to be exploited and slaughtered. That is slavery period.

    Forcibly impregnating someone “is not rape” what a joke. You’re heartless.

    You’re using tankie logic.

      Rape

      1: unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person’s will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception.

      Slavery 1. a: the practice or institution of holding people as chattel involuntarily and under threat of violence

      b : the state of a person who is forced usually under threat of violence to labor for the profit of another

      c: a situation or practice in which people are coerced to work under conditions that are exploitative

      Again. I do not see animals as people.

          I can’t wait until the mass rape of flowers begins in the spring.

            Plants do not have central nervous system. Stepping on grass is not the same as stepping on kittens. Giving birth is a painful process each time.

              I agree. But then we run into the issue that it is “literally the same action but with different subjects.”

              Your previous comment implied subject does not matter; now you are saying it very much does.

                Animals are individuals not property. So stop justifying animal abuse. God you’re one of the spineless types who just plays along with the atrocities of the modern day.

                  Here I thought we were having a debate. Silly me, thinking that you meant the arguments you put forward, instead of throwing shit at the wall to see if it sticks.

          I think this is the fundamental disconnect between vegans and non vegans. I think most non vegans have a human centric moral system and vegans have a much more all encompassing moral system.

            That’s the first correct thing you said in this thread. Just because someone is not human does not mean it’s okay to harm them.

              Is keeping bees harming them? This isn’t a straw man I have seen people seriously argue that it is. What about keeping chickens just for eggs. They are safer than they would be in the wild and you don’t have to do any form of artificial insemination. What about keeping goats for milk?

              Edit: Holy shit I got the CJ treatment if feel like a star. This is fucking hilarious.

              I murdered an animal the other week. Not even for food. Its corpse is off rotting somewhere now.

              Separately, I have some animal-murder spray below the sink for when the warm weather comes. Usually don’t need it, but in an apartment, you never can tell.
