    that might be one of the infinite mysteries of the universe, like whether everything is actually a boltzmann brain’s fleeting hallucation, but fortunately we do know with certainty that animals scream and flail and panic and thrash when you try to kill them on account of having a very very similar nervous and cognitive system to you, and also that you have to cut a fuckload of plants to feed them before you kill them anyway

    hope that helps

                yeah animals do all sorts of fucked up shit humans agree is bad but then often do anyway like kill or rape or whatever, but we applied that big brain of ours and came up with stuff like Philosophy and Hydroponics and Soya Burger and now we don’t have to kill others to survive or rape to spread our genes or pretend that animals in pain are Literally The Same as cut grass

                  we applied that big brain of ours

                  That’s how we can now eat steaks without hunting. Everyday if we want to.

                  Soya Burger

                  Enjoy your heavily processed plant pulp. Just remember, plants also scream for help when you cut them.

                    sorry rfk but half a kilo of saturated fats is worse for you than soy protein and seasonings and some xanthan gum that have gone through a mincing machine

                    just remember that abattoir workers have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession and in many places it’s illegal to broadcast what goes on inside slaughterhouses in public. wonder why people who pick flowers don’t experience similar
