Vegan fallacy

1) My cat is not the same as a turkey, as one is MINE and the other is just a random person animal that I'm eating as a meal.

2) Turkeys are dinosaurs and dinosaurs are supposed to be extinct I'm just helping them

3) Do you really want people to start asking why aren't they eating cats? I mean we do have an overpopulation issue of cats, dogs, and horses... do you really want to start people thinking about that as a possibility? As some people do eat them...

4) You have to kill animals to get your farm field to grow products... so kill one turkey for food? Or kill multiple turkeys for land usage to grow tofo or whatever it is you eat...

Circular reasoning. It's OK to kill turkeys because they're game birds, and they're called game birds because we're not allowed to kill them. It's not OK to kill cats because they're pets, and cats are considered pet animals because we're not allowed to kill them. Meanwhile, there are tons of people who keep turkeys as pets, and likewise tons of people who eat at meat.

Turkeys are birds and cats are mammals, two different phylums.

They're comparing feathered dinosaurs to miniature tigers with whiskers.


Cats have fur and turkeys have feathers.

Turkeys lay eggs and cats give live birth and produce milk from their mammary glands.


It'd be better to compare a cat to a pig since they're both mammals than a bird to a cat since one is a mammal and one is a bird.

Comparing cats to turkeys is like comparing apples to oranges.

Not really. You could keep a turkey as a pet if you wanted.
Really, the only difference is that society tells us it's okay to kill turkeys but not cats.

Indeed but then when trying to make the ridiculous seem logical folks will say most anything.

Happy to see that POS finally got banned!

If you wouldn't eat grass, why eat a vegetable?

We keep cats as pets why don't we keep keep lions as pets?

If you wouldn't kill a rose why kill a weed?

Many people hot dogs as well .

If you wouldn't eat your cat, why eat a plant?
🤔

Valid?

How so?

@Ferise1 it's my body my choice! Abortion should stay legal! Pro lifers are hypocrites since they love their guns more than their children.

Not much meat on a cat.

Not the greatest comparison, I agree, for what is actually a fairly valid 'point' about which animals humans get almost rabidly defensive about eating...and which ones they get outraged about other cultures eating.

False carbon footprint.

There are some pretty strong vegan arguments and some pretty weak ones, my morals aren't strong enough to go vegan either way.

I don't eat cockroaches as well, they aren't rny pets.🙄

@Sneedville
Are you ok with the vitriol, racism and sexual violence that has been posted on your thread?
