Awww so cute! Now lemme murder this beautiful creature so that I can enjoy a good steak for myself! In no storybook would I ever be considered the villain! /s

i also think plants look nice, but i still eat them

Animals (cows in this case) feel pain, fear, grief and so on. Plants don't. We can survive just fine without murdering millions of sentient animals.

Killing dogs and eating their meat is animal abuse. Doing the same to cows isn't. Quite hypocritical if you ask me.

plants can feel pain too

Are they sentient? The above qualities describe sentience to a certain degree. Do plants feel grief? Do they feel fear?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

it depends how u define sentience. we all have to draw the line somewhere. u choose somewhere between animals and plants, and that is fine. agree to disagree

I'm vegan and I'm OP. I posted this because people should know cows are delightful and not dinner.

Thank you for the post. The mental gymnastics that people go through to justify murdering these animals is crazy

And the carnists are all downvoting us because they apparently like torturing and murdering animals and don't want to be reminded of that fact of course. But we're just militant right?
