Theres been at least one instance of PETA straight up stealing a dog from the owner's porch, and rushing to euthanize it before the owner could get the police involved. You do not under any circumstances gotta hand it to em

Answering for PETA's crimes is exactly why I don't talk about veganism irl. It plays out like this thread every time.

Kevin DuBrow posted:I'm not a PETA fan or anything but this seems suspect. I know they do euthanize but I believe there are legitimate reasons to do so. PETA members are mental deficients, OP. They're more of an anti-human campaign than a pro-animal one.

I agree with the in-thread vegan, though - don't conflate vegans and PETA, there are enough non-PETA vegans around.

quote:PETA Kills Animas is a front group operated by Berman & Co. Berman & Co. operates a network of dozens of front groups, attack-dog web sites, and alleged think tanks that work to counteract minimum wage campaigns, keep wages low for restaurant workers, and block legislation on food safety, secondhand cigarette smoke, drunk driving, and more. In reality PETA euthanizes animals that are outsourced from so called "no-kill" shelters because it can be extremely cruel to keep animals alive in some situations. Not that I agree with them on most things but let's at least be honest about them. COPE 27 fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Aug 24, 2021 |

DicktheCat posted:Especially bastards that wake me up with purrs and cuddles in the morning, what shits. it's way easier than many people think, it's a common misconception. you're replacing your protein sources, not cutting them. personally I eat a lot of chickpeas, lentils, beans, soy etc. and I'm saying this as an rear end in a top hat who ages ago used to think that every meal needed animals in it, I've eaten meat all my life before this decision and I still know how good it can taste, I simply switched for ethical and environmental reasons here are some resources but it's not rocket science really, just cook some rice and assorted vegetables however you want them. new stuff like beyond meat and similar is great to ease you into it and also if you're really missing the feel of a fat juicy burger every now and then https://chooseveg.com/switch/ https://mercyforanimals.org/the-problem/

I'm about 90% vegetarian at this point, and aside from echoing what was said above about it being easier than you might think it will be, in my experience going vegetarian also broadened my palate and helped me learn to cook much, much better. Anyway complaining about PETA at this point feels like complaining about Richard Dawkins. They might be annoying and loud but they're easy to ignore and their main institutional targets are much more harmful. Getting riled up about them feels a little misplaced now.

I really enjoy cooking veggie pies because you just stir-fry every vegetable you can think of, shove it into some dough and then throw it in the oven for a while.

I don't know how to properly cut a major source of protein beyond the common sense of beans and nuts. Protein is a red herring, you'll get what you need with any varied diet without a problem. Something like B12 is more problematic, but it's also easy to get enough by eating some fish once in a while. Many cultures throughout history have developed a rich cuisine that uses animal products sparingly. Just plunder their treasure trove of recipes without mercy. Hummus, curry, falafel… And to try to be somewhat on topic, of course r/hummus exists:

Vegetarian since 2000 and more or less vegan for a couple years now. I've not died and other than podge obtained over lockdown I've been in good shape. Get a good veggie cook book and enjoy expanding your cooking. It's easy as pie kicking meat these days, you got fake meats, plant based cheeses and egg alternatives and things loaded with all the proteins you need. Get some complete vegetarian/vegan multivitamins with B12, iron, etc.

hawowanlawow posted:goons are too old to have friends who tell them about stuff, thank god I am very offended by your assumptions here! What is a “friend,” anyway? Sounds racist. Edit: I do want to be clear here, I find zero things “wrong” or “stupid” about vegan folk’s choices. It’s not my place to police what other people (rich first worlder or poor third worlder) eat, as long as they have food available in the first place (famine has been unacceptable for every single person/society in the world; we even fed our mortal enemies and communists during the Cold War). But whoever brought up CrossFit was dead-on track. They will take it on as an identity and they will turn every conversation into evangelical opportunities and simple smugness. It’s the smugness and implied moral superiority (not nearly as common with the v-crowd today) that loses friends.

I found r/ivermectin, the subreddit to talk about eating horse dewormer instead of getting the covid vaccine. Here's someone who suffered from symptoms of stress, aging, and the standard American diet. He solved all his problems by making GBS threads out strands of his intestinal lining. Some major subreddits are apparently planning a protest tomorrow against this and r/nonewnormal being allowed to spread disinformation on Reddit.quote:Recently I decided to get the horse paste, and use it prophylactically, one dose every two weeks for basic protection. I’m an emergency services worker and have to go to work no matter what’s going on in the world. I calculated the correct dosage then cut it in half just to be on the safe side. The main problem with ivermectin is that it causes stomach aches at least from everyone I’ve talked to who has used it. It must be taken on a full stomach… Think in terms of burger, fries and a shake. A little extra oil is good, it carries the ivermectin well. Next time I do it I will add a tablespoon of olive oil to whatever fatty meal I’m eating before taking it.

B12 is legitimately hard to acquire without supplements but luckily you don't need a lot of it. If everyone chilled out a bit and reduced their meat consumption to eating some fish once in a while we would all be better off.

A lot of the media is now pushing the idea that "we can't defeat covid, let's learn to live with it" because a) that'll permanently isolate China, since they have in fact defeated covid, and b) work-from-home and the eviction moratorium are hurting the profits of landlord corporations, so they want it to end. It ties in to the idea that you can't trust anything the government says about covid, but you should trust the internet telling you to not wear a mask and eat horse dewormer.

It'll never be permanently over. It'll come back. New variants will emerge. We do have to figure out how to live with it, and that includes vaccines, masking and social distancing.

The fact that you can have an entire TV station like GB News or that somebody like Tucker Carlson is still given a shred of credibility by anybody is testament to that. Like I get that there is a campaign of cyber warfare that is far more insidious than most online people realise as they're earnestly believing the absurd things they read on their Facebook feed, but that level of aggressively stupid dumbfuckery ain't it chief.

It's so contagious that it's not possible to coexist with the virus without making society permanently unlike the way it was in 2019. This exact debate keeps playing out all over the world, and the "eradicate covid" countries keep winning while the "learn to live with it" countries keep having mass death that leads to de jure or de facto lockdowns.
