Those canines are “primarily used to chew up wood and other tough foods” as per one of the articles, but male adult camels may also use those to bite opponents when fighting with each other for territory / mates.
“Someone once described them as a Sarlacc pit from Star Wars” … definitely a fitting description.
Here is a video of an angry camels open mounth and unclipped teeth; https://www.youtube.com/shorts/whsdxuAy37Y … it is VERY ugly tho, view at your own discretion.
Basically the people who say that if you use any Animal product for any reason, then you basically are no better than the people who did the Holocaust. No this isn’t an exaggeration.
The kind of people who compare the Civil Rights Movement to the conditions to which pigs live in, and wonder why people think they are racist.
That first one most certainly does sound like an exaggeration, or at least an outlier. And in the context of this discussion it implies a false equivalence that anyone who thinks that our teeth look more like an herbivore’s than an omnivore or carnivore’s and takes from that that we should eat more vegetables, also thinks that you’re as bad as hitler or a nazis for eating meat.
But maybe one of us is misunderstanding. I certainly do think that the millions of animals being killed without a justified reason is a type of Holocaust. Sure, it’s not humans, but I think it’s a fair conclusion to come to. Regardless of if you’d call it that, can you see how all of this unnecessary death and torture is incredibly unethical? It doesn’t seem extreme to me if that’s what these vegans are saying.
Secondly, do you not think there is a similarity between fighting for the civil rights of humans and fighting for the rights of animals? I don’t think that’s a racist statement at all, and you know what? I think anyone who says it is racist is either actively trying to undermine the argument with adhominem or is simply too dumb to realize that’s what the person they heard say it originally was trying to do.
