i agree. some values are universal, like what should be considered cruel, but slaughtering pigs is pretty cruel too (i eat them anyways!). to me, what's funny here is how privileged first world people just hate to see how the hot dog is made, so to speak.
it's like privileged people hating to simply see homeless people in cities even though the system that makes people homeless is necessary to keep the high property values that they benefit from. the mere witness of the cruelty we benefit from in modern society makes the privileged one feel like a victim.
Indeed. The reason hunting whales etc. could be seen as unethical is because we were driving them to extinction, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Any other lines that people draw for themselves about what animals we should / shouldn't eat is completely arbitrary.
Yeah, I'm a vegan but I don't bother telling you bloodmouths what I really think of you. It won't change your mind and will only make me frustrated if I let myself give a shit.
Mockery is much better than outrage.
