    Exactly, everyone is going to go vegan simultaneously so we’ll have to genocide cows. That’s definitely how it’ll work.

      Gotta stop that fartin’ somehow… /s

      Honestly the comic doesn’t make a ton of sense. Wouldn’t the cow population tank naturally due to artificial insemination stopping?

        This doesn’t make sense because it’s a stupid, common anti-vegan argument

        “We need to keep on killing generations of cows, or else we’ll have to kill the current generation of cows”

        Not only are the assumptions complete crap, the logic is even more moronic.

        I mean, that’s what you would expect from anti-vegans.

              I’ve deleted my original comment as a Rule 1 violation, being very rude; as there’s not really a mechanism for moderator-to-moderator removal, consider it a moderative action and an apology for the outburst.

                Copy-pasting stuff in order to annoy people, then belittle and argue with them when they are annoyed as if you are being attacked.

                From this, an urge urge to compare yourself with one of the great thinkers.

                Just… Chill. Handle some discourse, will ya?

                  No.

                  You are projecting.

                It’s not mob mentality. You’re posting from an artist who expresses support for a neo-Nazi, and that understandably makes users here feel unsafe. I got told the other day to “fuck myself with a chainsaw” because I haven’t banned Jago here yet (not really up to me), and I don’t even blame them for saying that. You gleefully and intentionally make people in minority groups here feel unsafe.

                  It is precisely, 100% what it is. Witch hunt. Lynching.

                  artist who expresses support for a neo-Nazi

                  No.

                  makes users here feel unsafe.

                  Also no. Some people just love to dictate to others what they can read and see. They are usually referred to as “authoritarians” or “fascists”.

                  I haven’t banned Jago here yet (not really up to me),

                  Good. Banning artists is usually what fascists do - you know burning books etc.

                  You gleefully and intentionally make people in minority groups here feel unsafe.

                  Absolutely not. I post strips I enjoy, that’s all.

                No, I don’t want them to censor themselves re: this comment, and I’m sorry if I implied that. I actually hastily changed it from “everyone here hates you” to “everyone here wants you banned” because of Rule 1 (I’m not really used to that strict level of politesse in communities). I even said they didn’t do anything ban-worthy; if I thought their comment was violating a rule, I could’ve just removed it (it was, in fact; Rule 1 for calling vegans cultists, but I didn’t want that to be seen as a conflict of interest). I’m just kind of pissy since basically everyone in this community does hate them and they work just enough within the rules that my hands are tied. Literally dozens of reports for Jago, who, after some independent digging (I’d never heard of them until moderating here), likely is a far-right bigot.

      You’d have a bunch of for profit corporations stuck with expensive worthless liabilities they need to dispose of as cheaply as possible.

      Imagine if you donated a herd of dairy cattle to PETA? Like they do with unwanted pets, they’d slaughter the lot of them.

        Like they do with unwanted pets, they’d slaughter the lot of them.

        This is oft-repeated anti-vegan propaganda, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. I’m sure I could have a prebaked, lengthy response for this if I wanted, but I’ll try to give you the bullet points (sources on request):

        • PETA is entirely open about its euthanization at their Virginia shelter. (Note: Do not click on that link unless you want to see some serious shit.)
        • The rate is so high because they take animals absolutely nobody else will. This especially includes so-called “unadoptable” animals that “no-kill” shelters can’t keep but don’t want to euthanize to preserve their squeeky-clean, bullshit, artificial “no-kill” status that makes them look good but doesn’t help the animals that need it. Unadoptable animals especially include the terminally ill as well as chronically, intractably, dangerously violent.
        • They also provide free euthanization to pet owners, where most clinics would charge a fee that many pet owners cannot afford (and thus will simply let their pets suffer until they die “naturally”).
        • Society creates this problem by adopting, not shopping shopping, not adopting (leading to excessive breeding), having extremely minimal protections for pets and requirements for pet ownership, failing to spay/neuter pets (a service PETA offers for free), treating pets as possessions (e.g. that you get somebody as a present), and so on in the ecosystem of an immensely profitable and deep-seated pet industry.
        • However, they do legitimately try to adopt out the few animals that get brought to them who are able to be adopted.

        TL;DR: PETA is not to blame for their rate of euthanization. Just because they take on the responsibility of the problem everyone around them created to ease the animals’ suffering doesn’t mean that they take on responsibility for creating the problem. The flak they get for this from animal agriculture propaganda is entirely created as a distraction to delegitimize vegans as evil, murderous monsters so omnivores don’t have to consider the unfathomable scale and depth of suffering they deliberately cause.

          Do you mean that society creates this problem by shopping instead of adopting? Your sentence seems completely backwards.

            Haha, whoops! That’s just a typo on my part. Thanks for pointing it out. I basically took “adopt, don’t shop” and put it after a negation by mistake.

    This is this incredibly stupid, manipulative, fallacious piece of shit bullshit again?

    Damn, the best way to spot stupid anti-vegans is to do nothing, they’ll tell you every 5 minutes.
