For real, dead animals taste amazing when you grill them

[-] threeduck@aussie.zone 34 points 1 month ago

You should try dog if you get the chance, Elwood dog farm has a low impact factory farm where you can buy Labrador cuts and some gamier breeds if they're in stock.

I mainly kill animals to enjoy the silence that comes after.

Damn mosquitoes sound annoying AF!

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 24 points 1 month ago

Also they're so damn noisy. You'd think their parents could shut them up, but human babies just like to scream.

You're going to steal my blood and annoy me while doing so?

I actually respect vegans that are vegan to prevent the suffering of animals.

I get it. Grew up farming. Chicken houses are an industrial horror machine.

We've recently bought a play farm and hope to raise or hunt all our meat. Only the slaughter and butchering of steers will be outsourced. Takes some serious equipment to handle an animal that large.

I'm an omnivore by evolution and enjoy meat and hunting. I'm always a little sad when I kill something, however. I figure that sadness means I'm human and is a good thing. When I eat meat from something I killed, it means more. There is a lot of respect involved in it as well something like religion.

If more people had to kill their meat, we would probably live in a very different world and there would be a lot more vegans.

No, you don't get it. Or you would stop raping, enslaving, torturing and murdering animals.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 25 points 1 month ago

Other humans aren't morally equivalent to my own children. Where the hell do you get off?

99% of humans have the complete opposite reaction when the animal in question is a mosquito.

[-] Hammocks4All@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

Mosquitos are almost parasites and are vectors for disease. It’s a pretty different relationship we have with them.

And yet, when it's people, there's a problem. Such a double standard 🙄

Oh hey, a 1-day-old account posting 6 vegan posts in 1 hour to unrelated communities. I’ve seen this one before.

Hey! I made this content and was made aware of Lemmy by a friend two days ago. I decided to join and wanted to enter with a bang by sharing some of my OC.

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 month ago

Welcome and thank you for posting oc.

I only kill animals so vegans can keep making memes. Fuck they're tasty though.

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago

The vegans or the animals?

[-] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago

The animals of course. Vegans don't have enough meat on them.

I do actually like to see mosquitoes die.

Specially when they are running away with MY blood.

I would join vegan standards but I still wait for the "eat the rich" part. I mean who would do it? Those vegans? no. This is a job for meat lovers.

[-] HeyHo@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 1 month ago

Eating the rich is vegan, as they are not sentient and don't feel pain.
But please stop paying for animal abuse

Hey all you modern-day meat eaters out there, raise your hand if you've ever actually killed an animal.

No one?

That's what I thought.

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

I've killed deer, chickens, chipmunks, squirrel, and some other small pests. Yes, I did gut and clean the deer and chickens myself. And yes, I did eat their tasty fleshy meat.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

How many beans have you harvested? How many bushels of wheat have you grown? None, damn I guess that means we all have to starve to death.

[-] Voyajer@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

It's an interesting choice to accuse people in general of never having gone fishing before.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

I grew up on a farm, I've killed and slaughtered my own food my whole life and I always felt good about eating meat because of that fact.

As I get older I'm really starting to hate killing things, I don't want to end a life at all. My couple of vegetarian days might turn into a whole lifestyle.

The trick is not to kill them yourself, but have factories and animal farms do it while deluding yourself into believing that there is a humane way to killing a living being when the reality is there are only less painful ways. Also, from the other side of the aisle, the trick is to delude yourself into thinking that animals would have any problems eating and preying on you. If cattle had no place in human society, their numbers would significantly decrease. What does that say about human societies with large socioeconomic disparity who are treated by cattle by the rich as they get increasingly automated?

There's no point to this comment, it has been released into the wild so that it may be free.

The whole taste argument completely ignores nutrition.

Why don’t you only eat potatoes? Do you derive taste pleasure from B12 supplements?

Attaching a system of morality to a diet is just religion.

I maintain that veganism is just halal/kosher for atheists/agnostics.
