I hope that plants gain sentience in the future because then that would make it morally okay to eat meat again.

Plants feel pain though?

If you can eat meat without killing something why wouldn't you? Like drat, meat is really good.

I feel like I probably should be a vegetarian but am too lazy, but if/when vat grown meat is a viable thing I'd certainly eat it and encourage others to do so as well to the exclusion of eating animals, yeah.

If your not ok with killing an animal but still eat meat that's actually super hosed up.

I think if your against killing animals for meat and still eat meat that's a fundamental betrayal of yourself.

I'm not okay with killing animals yet I leave out poison traps for ants, bug zappers on my porch, and don't think twice about burning yellow jacket nests, am I fundamentally betraying myself?

Also it sounds like your ok with killing bugs which I'm all for.

So, what, robots aren't deserving of personhood, even though they are potentially more intelligent than any animal can ever be?

Robots are a dude in a box reading out answers and it's weird that people don't get this.

Ignore your post?

In all seriousness though, eating meat in North America is a religious experience, and will never change.

Also other animals are more important, and cool, literally, than war-making apes.


Eat apes.

Yeah other animals might be more important but what are they going to do about it, nothing, because they are stupid animals and exists only because we choose to let them.

Mankind is a direct result of the natural processes of life, the fact that we haven't burnt earth to a crisp yet is because of conscious effort.

I'd say African poachers deserve to be flayed and their villages burned to the ground wholesale without any verification of who is involved, but then I am a stupid animal :).

No, your a living breathing person with his own mind and opinions and I also disagree with burning african villages to the ground.

I think we can all agree - gently caress wasps.

But seriously I'm positive all mammals feel the same basic emotions - fear, surprise, anger, joy, sadness, and disgust (and various combinations of them.) For that reason, if you have a choice between being a dick to a mammal and not being a dick to a mammal, don't be a dick.

I'm still going to eat them.

I think killing a monkey is hosed so I wont eat one. I'm ok with killing a cow so I would eat it.
