We need to eat. We don’t need tol take joy in aninal deaths. These are different things and the meme is dumb.
Except you don’t need to eat animals and so it is the same. You’re killing animals for your entertainment, just because you eat them after that doesn’t change anything.
People have eaten meat for thousands of years. That’s been a matter of survival, not entertainment. But my comment was about people taking joy in killing, which is what the meme is about, not taking joy in eating,. I appreciate your zeal but I’d prefer you to not ascribe to me arguments I didn’t make
You’re killing animals for your entertainment, just because you eat them after that doesn’t change anything.
sure thing edgelord.
you don’t know what they need. and I seriously doubt they are killing for entertainment. I doubt they kill anything at all.
Paying someone to kill someone/something for you is still killing.
“but what if they have a medical condition that doesn’t exist that I just made up”
Pretty unlikely.
Imagine I have two choices: end world hunger, or end world hunger and kick a puppy. If I choose to end world hunger but also kick a puppy…well I’m kinda a dick, right? Ultimately I did a very good thing ending word hunger, so on balance, my actions are “net positive.” But the choice I actually made was to kick a puppy.
Now, I need to eat. So I have a choice: eat yummy food and don’t kill an animal, or eat yummier food and do kill and animal. The choice I’m effectively faced with is, “kill an animal for better taste.”
It’s totally up to you to decide if that is a good choice for you personally.
If course it’s not always so simple, and there are financial, cultural, and health reasons that complicate this. But for some folks (like myself) that’s kinda how I view it.
