Some people see no inherent value in animals aside from the utility they have for humans. It allows them to justify whatever we do to animals as long as it provides some perceived benefit to us.

I would suspect this train of thought leads some to conclude that dog fighting is ok since it provides entertainment to people, in the same way that farming animals is ok because it provides food that people enjoy eating.

Now you and I know that dogs, like most other animals, are sentient. They have a subjective experience that allows them to feel fear, loss, pain, happiness and love. This is why I (and I suspect you) believe dogs should not be forced to fight each other for our amusement.

As pointed out in the graphic, most people feel that at least some commodification of animals is morally justifiable. It's up to you where you would draw the line.

I'm afraid I'm going to need a better argument than "I support killing animals because it makes me feel good."

The one saving grace for me this election cycle is watching the Republicans panic over some dumb shit the guy they nominated says. You let this raccoon inside, don't be surprised about all the garbage everywhere.

Yeah but what about the time it takes to write "big titty anime girl, digital art" into the prompt field? That's a lot of creative work apparently!

I won't speak for other vegans, but my research into beekeeping and honey production turned me against the industry for the following reasons:

  • Beekeepers will commonly clip the wings of queens to keep them from swarming or leaving.
  • Semen is commonly extracted from bees by crushing them.
  • Honey taken from hives is commonly replaced with a nutrient-devoid sugar solution, affecting the health of the bees.
  • Selective breeding of honeybees has made them more susceptible to diseases which can also affect native insects.
  • Honeybees have been shown to cause serious disruptions to plant-pollinator networks, putting local pollinators at great risk.
