Vegans are acceptable targets to mock these days but i've a challenge for all the meat eaters here: Watch and tell me it doesn't affect you.

"Most of us consider ourselves animal lovers"
It's called Dominion and if you can't invest the 2 hours then just watch the first section on pigs. It's one thing to hear about the bad, mean things that humans do to poor livestock but it's quite another to witness the terror and the pain of the animals as they're suffering slow, horrific deaths.
Tell me what you feel watching it.
Does it compel you to make different choices?
Does it at least make you want to make different choices?

There's really no excuse for eating meat and dairy if you have the means not to. But because it's normal, people think it's acceptable.

You are a complete nutter@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Would you eat a dog or a cat?

Mathers · 61-69

No I eat cows and pigs@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Why wouldn't you eat dogs and cats too?

Mathers · 61-69

If I was starving I would. So would you@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers But we're not talking about if you were starving.
If there was a place selling dog and cat meat now, would you eat it?

Mathers · 61-69

Having been to places where it is on sale in the market I would say no@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Why not? You eat cows and pigs, why not cats and dogs?

Mathers · 61-69

Same reason I don’t eat mice and rats@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Because it hasn't been normalized.
Eating a dog is just as wrong as eating a cow. But mainstream media has normalized eating cows, so it seems okay to you.

Mathers · 61-69

Why? What standards are you going by? Your private rule book? Why should you eat those poor helpless plants? @BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Because plants don't feel pain, have memories, or any thing that would indicate they don't want to be killed.

Mathers · 61-69

How do you know those poor plants don’t feel pain? There is evidence that they do@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Do you really think that or are you just deflecting?

Mathers · 61-69

Why don’t you try using your brain for a change? Instead of just slurping up the rubbish from the Internet?@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers That's what you're doing. You're saying it's okay to eat some animals but not others, only because the media told you so.

Mathers · 61-69

Are you off your head? Because the media is told m? I don’t listen to the media have such things like you do@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Why is it okay to eat cows and pigs but not cats and dogs?

Mathers · 61-69

There is no reason not to eat cats and dogs but we don’t do it over here. In Africa they eat bugs but we don’t do it over here.@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers

There is no reason not to eat cats and dogs but we don’t do it over here.

But you can. Why don't you? You just said there's no reason not to.

Mathers · 61-69

I can eat what I like but I don’t. I’m not stopping you eating what you like so don’t stop me. You are one of these people I think you can impose your views on other people. Let me just remind you this is a free country that my father thoughtful during the last war and your fascist views are not welcome@BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers That's nice, but you didn't answer the question.
How come you choose not to eat cats and dogs, but you do eat cows and pigs?

Mathers · 61-69

Why should I answer your silly questions? Go and waste someone else time with them. @BohoBabe

BohoBabe · M

@Mathers Damn, you righties are such pussies.

Annie13 · F

@Mathers You know why there is outrage about certain insects now being seen as a valid food source? Because it hasn't been normalized yet to eat insects.
