I... Want a randomizer for this. Add in like, half a dozen random retail brands, software companies, car makers... Just hit a button and they're placed in there at random.

Caplyta is an anti-psychotic.

Do you really want to take that from me?!?

What the fuck. We can do without factory farming!

Whether you're for or against factory farms, this is funny. Dark, but funny.

I hope when I die my corpse is cut up, fried in my own body fat, and fed to pigs.

Fuck factory farms, things dont have to be this way. For this and many other wrongs in our world.

One of my ideas for slowing the rate of meat consumption: You may only buy meat if you are under the age of 18, or you have a Meat Medallion.

Medallions are obtained by successfully killing an animal over the size of a rat, on your own, with only close-ranged weaponry.

That put you off? Good! It should! Some people would still stomach it.

Ye nah, absolutely fuck the meet industry.

long-time vegan here, this argument is as old as time.

is it ethical to kill? no.

do humans need meat to survive? no.

is animal agriculture equivalent to slavery? yes.

if you eat meat, deep down inside you know you're supporting: murder, rape, entrapment, torture, and slavery. that includes eggs and milk.

bonus fun fact: pigs are smarter than dogs

I disagree. They are very likely the worst of the industries in seeing here. Not even in just one way either.

As much as I find chickens, and all avians in general, cute and I find it sickening the way they are treated... I do love eggs, they're tasty, versatile, easy to cook, and unbelievably healthy.

I think the differential we have to identify is one thing, and that is scale.

I am not a vegan, I do not believe it is wrong to consume animals or animal-sourced products, however I do support animal welfare and believe that if we are to raise livestock for consumption they should be treated as the sentient, thinking, feeling creatures that they are and cared for accordingly.

Imagine instead of human and animal rights we just had "sentient rights", for example.

Being able to test for sentience is a topic in and of itself, and out of scope for my argument.

I think there is no harm done in, a hypothetical world where people had the space to do such a thing, raising our own livestock, limited to individual homesteads or the immediate settlement (a local town market, for example).

The line where it becomes unethical is quite obvious really, are the animals treated as living things, or machines to simply fuel and feed to grow them for slaughter and harvest? Yes, in my example of fair treatment the goal may be to raise them for eventual slaughter, but its their lifelong treatment where this applies, not the overall objective.
