Knock it off with the trolling nonsense

It’s pretty obvious you’re a troll

We are well aware of the dog meat troll tactic from vеgаns

Hypothetical moral questions posed genuinely is not trolling. If you’re okay with eating cows and pigs, why is eating dogs considered trolling?

I have no intent to deceive. There’s a moral inconsistency amongst meat eaters. Pigs are okay, dogs are not. Why? “Oh, because we like dogs” Does that mean I can eat any sentient thing I dislike? “Well, no, dogs are intelligent!” Pigs are smarter than most breeds of dog, and have equal capabilities for emotion.

There is no logical argument against veganism in western society. Literally none. Meat eaters collectively breed and kill literally billions of animals per year, destroying the planet, because it’s yummy. Meat eaters have essentially caused swine flu, bird flu, ebola, corona virus, just for the taste of meat. Meat eaters are causing treatment resistant bacteria by abusing antibiotics on high intensity farming, all for meat. That’s crazy.

it’s clearly a gotcha. that’s bad faith.

No it’s not. It being a “gotcha” does not mean it’s wrong. In fact, it is still right, you’re just wrong and think the person you reply to is wrong because they disagree with you.

and now you admit it’s a gotcha. you are engaging in bad faith

there is no logical argument for a lot of things, its just culture. and it is tasty and thats all that need be said.

There’s a lot of awful things in culture. It was culturally acceptable to slap a women on the bottom for a good job.

Your argument is “ah well”.

That’s not a reasonable defense for your objectively immoral actions. You are causing the suffering of sentient life for taste, that makes you immoral. Not to mention the horrible effect your diet has on the planet.

yeah there are, luckly this isnt one of them eating meat is perfectly fine.

Listen brother, I eat meat but if you go into a vegan post and get into an argument about veganism, you’re not being trolled, you’re the troll.

It doesn’t help that the vegans are right. The meat industry is a nightmare, terrible for the environment, and pretty bad for our health.

It’s insane that most Americans eat meat every day.

If I could put 100% tax on meat tomorrow I would, but that’s political suicide, so it’ll never happen. It’d be easier to adjust than you think. There are plenty of delicious vegetarian options, and it’d be a lot easier to choose those if they were more common.

I eat meat because it’s culturally acceptable, delicious, ubiquitous, and I don’t believe I can make a noticeable difference. But that doesn’t mean I think it’s right.

I don’t believe I can make a noticeable difference.

Not eating meat won’t change the systemic problems but it will mean fewer animals will be subject to the industry. Over the course of a lifetime, the number of animals you can save adds up.

Also it’s a good habit to transfer thoughts and beliefs into actions.

Not eating meat won’t change the systemic problems but it will mean fewer animals will be subject to the industry.

more animals are breed and slaughtered every year than the year before. being vegan has never reduced that

What bizarre logic, what thorough lack of object permanence.

Just because meat eating outpaces veganism doesn’t mean vegans haven’t reduced the consumption of meat?

I don’t even think you know what you’re saying now. If the whole world went vegan today, there’d be no meat animal slaughter. YOU are the cause of this problem.

“Oh world hunger is getting worse, I better stop my charity donations!”

“Oh greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise, might as well go back to oil and gas!”

Like, you realise how foolish that argument is, right?

Just because meat eating outpaces veganism doesn’t mean vegans haven’t reduced the consumption of meat?

that’s exactly what it means. consumptiion of meat continues to grow. it has not been reduced.

if being vegan isn’t effective, and your goal is to reduce animal slaughter, then you should try another method.

Yeah no shit, but the number would be even higher if fewer people were vegan.

this can not be proven. counterfactuals cannot be proven at all.
