Do you not see the irony in you—random internet commenter who does not know me at all—giving me unsolicited advice on how to not give unsolicited advice to someone I know very well?

We just got a pug mix about a year an a half ago. He’s 3/4 pug but you can’t tell until you look at him from the side and see his snout is a little longer than most pugs. Without a doubt the best dog I’ve ever had. When we went to look at him they also had a pure bred to look at. The poor thing sounded like it had…

Please, DO be that guy!!! There’s a tactful way to handle the conversation, and too many people don’t even think about all of the options that are out there which will save a life.

Nah. But I do appreciate you, random internet commenter, telling me about the relationship between me and one of my best friends.

Yes. I am one of those “friends” who makes sure his friends have information they may not have before making big decisions. The horror.

Just adopt a fucking dog, Christ. My dog is better behaved and better looking than 99% of the “pure” breeds that make up his genetics and I got him from a goddamned shelter.

Yes, horse racing is bougie and corrupt as all hell. It’s like if the Tour de France were run by FIFA and Jerry Jones. But the animals are magnificent, and the majesty of seeing a horse move so elegantly, with such bioathletic (a word I just made up) perfection is exhilarating. Secretariat’s Belmont run is the most…

From the wikipedia page for Bacon:

Last I checked salt and pepper are seasonings.

What do you season your animal products with? Garlic, onion, celery, herbs, etc. I do not think those are animals.

That would suggest that the study assumes the animal population would stay at it’s current level. Reduce the population of the animals and you reduce the greenhouse gasses.
Also, reducing that population would also reduce the need to feed them. Did you know that 2/3 of the grains grown in the US are grown for animal…

So when you eat your meat do you simply boil, bake, or grill it with no seasoning or sauces, and then eat it plain?

Vegan, by the definition from the man who coined the term, means simply not eating animals or animal products. It has been perverted by extremists to include all the other garbage.

It is highly unlikely that we’d have every crop in the nation affected by disease at the same time, or run out of bees. Plus, there are…

It is you who doesn’t know how things work. We aren’t talking about nature. We are talking about livestock.

All of the animals we regularly eat only exist in captivity. We bred them from wild stock until they are a new species. They serve no ecological purpose outside of food for humans. There would be no “dilemma” for environmentalists if we were to stop breeding them entirely.

As a person on a plant based diet, I read your comment and now everyone in the office is wondering why I was laughing so loudly.

I know a lot of proud vegans that subsist on Pop Tarts, Wheat Thins and Mountain Dew. So, no.

What animals? Why would farmers continue to breed animals that no one will buy?

Without the need for more production, the agricultural population of these large land animals would reduce dramatically after a generation.

If we stopped eating them, the animals would die out; therefore, no methane. You won’t see cows running in the wild. Without the need to breed chickens and cows and pigs, those species go bye bye
