Raised meat animals and hunted for roughly half my life. Coming from that background, I absolutely do not like to see animals suffer. Quick and clean kills. Minimal pain.
Raised poultry for both meat and eggs. When the broilers were ready for slaughter, it was a quick chop of an axe and done.
I’ve shot several deer over the years. Most dropped dead right on the spot. Only one had to be shot a second time, and it sucked to do. But also overpopulation/starving/eaten alive is objectively worse.
All that said, I fucking LOATHE the modern meat industry. I try and get my meat and eggs from local co-ops or people I know. Locally raised and not in cramped sheds. The butcher is smaller and not just a streamlined kill chute. I try to avoid the big corporate food market when I can.
All that said, it’s difficult to explain how I see an animal as food. I know it’s a living, breathing thing, but also, it’s being raised for food. That’s its purpose. I love meat, the way it tastes, and will continue to eat it for the rest of my life.
I’m not trying to convince you anything, just explaining my point of view.
Do I like hurting animals? No.
Am I a psychopath? Don’t know. Never been examined.
And what again are you doing in a vegan community then? Why are you so desperate to be heard? We’re not here to discuss your “food” choices or moral superiority or why you think it’s okay to kill innocent, sentient beings and eat their fucking corpses. Because we already discuss that stuff irl every. single. day. We’re here to have some fun with like-minded people and not be reminded of the constant vystopia we’re living still in. You’re interrupting.

I’m… Perfectly OK with that; and that’s not at all unusual.
