RE: If you support the animal industry are you indirectly supporting slavery?
I think everyone believe in their own beliefs , what is right for them is wrong for some , and vice versa . Maybe the point is that we shouldn't put animals and humans on the same wavelength , we are different creatures so we can't link the two.
Sometimes when eating meat I do feel like it's life that I'm eating and feel a bit bad , and then I eat plantations and feel the same . It is life too .
Humans are mammals.
Yeah but plantations(plantains?) can't feel pain and suffer like animals can. That bananna isn't going to scream when it's cut... or try to run away... people like to say 'oh but plants are life as well' but everyone knows it's not the same thing. There's no way that cutting a carrot or an apple or a piece of lettuce is the same as killing a rabbit, pig, or even fish. If we stopped and put ourselves in 'the shoes' of these animals we wouldn't be so quick to impose 'our beliefs' on them in the way that we do. Animals are some of the most innocent beings on this planet and yet for many animals life on this planet is an utter and absolute hell because of us.
And even if plants could feel pain/fear/suffering like animals do, we'd still be 'harming' more plants that way... Like the vast majority of the worlds crops go to feeding livestock, the vast majority of Amazonian rainforest destruction is going to clear land for growing feed and to have cattle. With animal agriculture, we must raise so much more feed than if we just were to grow the food directly ourselves.
If we just directly ate plants and survived from that(which vegans are proving every day it's possible to do) we not just eliminate the unnecessary suffering of the animals but also pose less of a buren on our ecosystem. Let's face it, we only have one planet! And while humans may not be on the same wavelength as animals, we are still animals at the end of the day, and we all have to inhabit the one and only earth that we all rely on to survive... and our 'beliefs' that it's okay to raise and kill in excess of 56 billions of land animals each year worldwide but we wonder why we are having trouble feeding 8 billion people?
I really recommend watching Cowspiracy for an explanation of the environmental impacts that animal agriculture contributes to. If there are any 'environmentalists' who continue to eat meat then are ignorant to what the implications of this dietary preference truly entail. It's so much more than a 'personal choice' when you look at it from different angles. Another really great but more difficult to watch documentary is Earthlings. I am glad that I watched it though because it really opened up my eyes to a lot of things.
You are the complete time complaining about mass production maybe without knowing.
Why should, just because the way it is produced is incorrect at the moment, people eat what you or someone else want, like or think it is the best? Let the people eat whatever they want because this is not the problem, regulate the way is produced not the peoples right to free choose whatever they want to eat.
I do not need to watch a documentary film for to see it is wrong the way it is done all this, just going to a super market do the job.
Eat meat is not the problem, people can eat whatever they want but the way is produced is a BIG PROBLEM and not only neat, also vegetals can go in this list. Maybe if we start to pointing out to what the real problem is and not saying to the people what they or not should do people will start to realize and think about it.
Just my 5 cents and taking what my experience has showing me going around in the world.
How do you know someone is a vegan?
Don't worry, they will tell you.
Not my joke, but hey, it's funny.
(except to vegans, because they have no sense of humor)
hehehehe it is funny because sadly it is a big true ... it looks sometimes (majority part) more a political "correcteness" movement than something else ... Honestly I do not care what people eat or not, it is not my problem what they do with they lifes (put in not only the food stuff but also sexual, social and whatever other). Taste is not the problem, never was but to avoid seeing or disscusing what the real problem is (mass production) people tend to "ignore facts that contradict their beliefs" ... or fight against them just to feel confortables with them self .... kind of egocentric behavior from my point of view.
Btw, I share a very interesting article about "confirmation bias", you should read it ;)
Pd: I know some vegans with a good sense of humor :D luckily not all are how you say hahahaha
Ppd: All vegans I know live in capitalist countries (USA, Canada, Europe) where they can have a variety of choices in big super markets ... just saying! They do not care at all what people in other poor countries have to do to find food or what kind of food the can get in the hands normally ... so for me, Veganism is a "1st world" countries movement... no a real world problem honestly... people in real world are fighting for to have something to eat, they do not care what it is if they can eat today...
I agree - Having the choice of what to eat, denotes a spoilt decadence all of its own.
I don't know the numbers, but I would wager a much higher than average % correlation of SJW's et al, being vegetarian/vegan.
(all my travel stories are true - living like that soon knocks any decadence out of you, believe me.)
