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?
it's bad faith
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.
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.
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.
