When someones dietary choice causes huge amounts of needless suffering and death to the victim (the innocent animal that was exploited and killed) then that’s not “fine”. That’s a serious injustice that should be pointed out (at the very least)

Wait, fish can eat other fish, but I can’t? How’s that fair?

animals in the wild do a lot of unethical shit

Monsters, all of them. Someone should eat them, just to keep the others safe.

i know this may be a shock but fish haven’t reached the industrialization part of civilization yet. they do not have the capabilities to grow crops and harvest them and make dishes

I mean, meat is still murder, right?

So you’re using the “Lions rape and murder, therefore it’s okay to do the same.” argument?

Weak.

Where do you stand on roe? Fish eggs.

Think about the argument you’re making here: “Wild animals do X, therefore humans should be allowed to do X”. I hope you understand how horrible this argument is. Here’s a fun little list of things animals do:

Eat their young
Grape
Murder each other for status or access to women
shit on the floor in public

That’s your take on my argument. I haven’t extended it beyond the ethics of meat eating.

Than why am I not allowed to eat other humans? They are made out of meat, too. And why do we not allow animals to eat humans?

We do actually allow animals to eat humans. There is no law anywhere that forbids a shark from eating a person.

As for people eating people, it’s a cultural taboo, like putting your elbows on the dinner table.

Why do you think I was talking about the legal framework? We take active measures in stopping animals from eating humans. You could make an argument that we even punish animals when they do eat a human, granted we have a chance to do that. Bears, wolves and dogs are shot regularly, after they have attacked a human. Sharks also have been killed when it was thought that they actively prey on humans. We do not allow it.

When you want to talk about laws it is considered murder to slaughter a person as feed for animals. It is also considered murder to kill a person to eat them. Murdering people is forbidden by law.

I’ll be thinking of you while I eat my steak today

I won’t think about you at all.

Watch dominion while you eat

Nothing like going to my local farm and eating their meat while watching a movie about how GOOD the meat I’m eating is because some other meat is so terrible.

Thanks for the idea :) I’m gonna bring it up for the next local farm-to-table
