These arguments are exactly why people hate vegans. It's nonsense.

Not only do you jump to an insane straw man. You showcase that you ignore a clear increasing contradiction around your world view and choose reactionary nothing.

If you care about life realize the harder question. If you care about the environment realize clear inefficiencues. Currently, you showcase nothing more than crude thoughtlessness.

Not only do you jump to an insane straw man.

It wasn't an insane strawman though? It was literally the argument they made. Something has to die for you to eat, therefore it doesn't matter how many things you kill or how necessary those deaths are. The fact that you must kill something absolves you of any guilt for any amount of killing, is the ridiculous argument the person made (and which carnists often make) which we are making fun of for being obviously evil and wrong.

It is - it's a super affirmative position. It takes an extreme position within the sphere it's trying to criticize to make an exaggerated point to attack. It's literally a classic strawman.

Your follow up is in the same vein. Its empty rhetoric

Lol I despise people not knowing what a strawman is. Go back to english class.
