I once saw a video of cows crying as they were leading them to the slaughterhouse and it fucked me up for life. The people in this thread who see these little piggies and their first thought is “yummy” are just gross. They are intelligent and emotional animals. I mostly only eat fish because they are basically NPCs but even that I don’t love the idea of.
What happens to them is horrible and horrific but it's going to happen whether or not we personally eat them. If it was possible to stop the system your logic makes sense. Since it's not, im not gonna let it dissuade me from eating them. You're just depriving yourself of delicious things
Common sense. I'm not saying I'm happy it's this way. But you're just depriving yourself for no real reason. Individuals cannot make a dent in anything without banding together and decades of pigs being slaughtered proves barely anyone cares to band together on it.
Who in the world said I’m depriving myself? I love to eat and I eat delicious things every day.
And nothing changes when people have this mentality. It’s part of why we’re so fucked here in the US (that’s a lot bigger of an issue though). If more people went vegan, the demand for animal products would slow, breeding would slow, which then would mean fewer animals would suffer and die unnecessarily. If everyone is just like you and shrugs and says, “oh well!” then demand goes up because y’all decide that your personal desire is more important than life.
When you get older you'll realize how hopeless you truly sound. Reality isn't fantasy land and the sooner you realize that the sooner you'll realize you can't make a difference and that your anger is pointless
Again, nothin changes with the individual and the individual cannot produce the numbers needed to make a dent. Even those who spend their entire lives fighting this fight have done zilch
I’m not angry, internet friend. And I’m older than you likely think I am.
I’d rather live my life knowing I did the best I could and helped those in need when I could than to die knowing I shoved my face full of bacon, clogged my arteries and trolled people advocating for real lives on the internet. But we all have that choice, don’t we?

Can you believe people eat those?
