Why would a cat of all animals be confused about which ones to eat? They are obligate carnivores.
Yeah, they totally get it. We’d eat them if we were hungry enough, same as they’d eat us. This doesn’t conflict with our feelings of love and companionship. We’re all animals here
We’d eat them if we were hungry enough
They’d eat us if we were small enough.
And the house cat has such a strong prey drive they’d likely do it for fun. I suspect when Mr. Rorschach bites on my hand he’s testing the flavor.
There has been cases in the past of cats eating their owners after the owner died and nobody fed them. They do what they need to survive and I would not begrudge any animal for that. Sure it may be horrendous to see, but I’m dead so what do I care.
I sure would eat my cat if I am hungry enough, but I am never hungry enough so I don’t eat my cat nor any other animal. There are plenty of other things to eat that don’t involve killing animals.
To paraphrase the Coen Brothers:
It is a fool that looks for logic in the comics of the preachy vegans
They literally kill for no other reason than amusement.
Cats are prey to some larger animals, and considering that many humans have portable machines that can instantly kill almost any living mammal, their concern about our diet is probably valid
Cats are pretty famous for “not giving a fuck”, just in general. Also, beyond being obligate carnivores, cats will hunt and kill out of instinct… Not even hunger or necessity.
Like, a pet mouse or something? Gerbil? Actually a guinea pig would be a great choice for the comic since they ARE food in some cultures.
as a cat owner, I can promise you that cats wouldn’t be the confused ones
Doesn’t seem too arbitrary at all.
Rabbit should be right of horse. Goat and sheep the most right; there is no culture nor religion that bans their consumption. They are that important to human survival.
If needed I would eat every single one of them and not feel at all bad about it… Also why is the rabbit there? Rabbit stew is good.
And some cultures eat dog, and others worship cows.
Why is your culture correct?
Who said anything about being correct? That’s just where his culture draws that line.
There’s another one like this where there’s a line to the right of the duck and the text indicates it’s " when I want to nail that hot vegan"
I would also like to address how horrifyingly close the golden retriever is to the line… Someone really likes cats is my take away.
Ah yes, my cat is so confused she brings me her recommendations to my step door.
Sorry, I’m not a native speaker and that somehow made sense in my head. I will let it stay as i wrote it cause now i found it super funny.
Cats and dogs both eat meat
Wild animals hunt and herbivores occasionally eat meat
So no animals wouldn’t think this as they eat meat the same as us and wouldn’t care at all about eating meat
So I don’t get what this is trying to say at all
Edit: also forgot to add that some animals are cannibals for example chickens
I’d like to add that domesticated animals that are taboo to eat typically had a use beyond just eating them.
Dogs guard your property, cats kill pests, horses do work and transportation. You’d only eat those if you were desperate.
Chickens, pigs, and cows? Not so much. The only one of those I could think with an alternate use would be a truffle pig, which wouldn’t be eaten.
I don’t know that that’s true, there can be other cultural reasons.
In Hindu-based cultures you wouldn’t eat cow, as in largely Muslim ones you wouldn’t eat pork.
Eating horse is common in a lot of countries despite falling into your “useful enough not to kill” category. Sheep are useful for wool production but people still eat lamb.
Rat is easy to domesticate and they are frankly useless at drawing a plough but eating them is still taboo in many places. A couple of billion people eat insects daily, but there are still many other countries where it is very rare to eat them at all despite the ease of farming.
Cats and dogs have no metacognition. They can barely recognize themselves in the mirror. We do. We have the ability to think about our actions, assign them moral value and better ourselves. That ability is completely wasted if you hold yourself to the same standard as a dog or cat. Is it ok to sniff random people’s buttholes because dogs do it? To eat your own children because some wild animals do it?
Human beings evolved to eat plants and meat and no you can’t get everything from plants as some nutrients in plants are not digestible and don’t get absorbed compared to nutrients from meat
Look if you want to be personally vеgаn indent mind and don’t have anything against you for it but when you or other vеgаns attack people who choose to not be vеgаn or have a vegetarian diet then that becomes a problem because you step into the territory of bullying and harassment of others
Vegan diets have been confirmed to be as good as omnivore diets, even better in some aspects, multiple and multiple times by research, so this point is moot.
We are not attacking you, though your defensiveness speaks volumes. We simply want a better world where billions of animals aren’t tortured and killed every year for a diet that is unnecessary, for the profit of shady corporations and that is contributing to our unsustainable lifestyle.
