I’m not quite sure I understand your argument here. Can you explain what you mean?

What is the good reason?

Please explain the difference then. There’s a degree of separation - but one is actually doing the deed yourself, vs. another is paying someone to do it (along with billions of others every year).

Same way people say ‘omggg guiseee i love animals’ while eating chicken and eggs?

probably the same reasoning that makes it ‘okay’ to eat chicken.

What’s the difference? You paid for someone to do pretty much this (chickens are killed through a method that starts with being hung by their legs, and next having their necks slit until they bleed out and eventually die - a disturbing amount of chickens die ‘too slowly’ and end up going to the next step of the…

A well reasoned, logical counter argument. Thank you.

Thanks for stating the obvious. And for realizing that crying over a flamingo while eating chickens and eggs is the most hypocritical thing ever. At least acknowledge that chickens experience far worse than this, for greater lengths of time, at an UNIMAGINABLE SCALE, and that you should at least try to eat as little…

Interesting how many of those same ‘animal-loving’ humans will choose to indirectly pay for someone to do practically the same thing (and far, far worse) to billions of cows, pigs, and chickens.

The same person who probably ate chicken every day and didn’t think anything of it ‘cause animals are ours to eat and chickens are dumb’

I feel the same way when I see someone eating a chicken.

What are your thoughts on people who choose to eat animals even when there are cheaper, more environmentally sound, and arguably even healthier options that don’t involve killing animals?

Do you feel similarly about those who eat chickens?

Do you cry every time you hear about someone eating chicken? How is it different? It’s not like eating chicken is necessary.

Similarly, I will never understand people who feel this way yet continue to eat chickens and eggs unabashedly.

I’m baffled by how the same people who are upset with this man/incident do not see an issue with eating chicken or eggs. How do you think chicken ends up on your plate?

Then why claim that farmers treat their cows well? Is actively not torturing them enough to say they’re treated well? My basis for treating an animal well is to not breed and kill them for my completely unneeded selfish purposes.

What specifically makes you think that a low or no meat/dairy diet is a privilege? For most of the world’s poor, animals make up a small portion of their diet. Grains, pulses, legumes and other non-perishables are staples for the poor. In modernized countries, there is a fundamental lack of education that drives poor…

I can’t find any sources showing that the practices I mentioned are illegal, such as calf separation or slaughter. Could also not find anything that showed that dehorning is also not legal. Every dairy cow or steer I’d seen in California did not have horns either, though I haven’t lived there for years. Do you have a…

While I sympathize, I don’t quite understand your budgetary constraints. Have you tried buying dried beans and lentils?
