    Agreed

    In principle I’m not against eating meat. It’s what humans have done forever, it’s what all hunters animals have done for billions of years

    If you’re going to eat animals, though, first make sure the animals have a nice life on green pastures after which it’s just lights out. Why the fuck do we torture these poor animals without limit before eating them? It’s fucked up.

    Second: if you want to eat farm animals, that’s one thing. Eating wild animals from highly strained ecosystems is just plain stupid.

      Just to be clear,

      Why the fuck do we torture these poor animals without limit before eating them?

      That’s factory farming, not traditional whale hunting.

      Eating wild animals from highly strained ecosystems is just plain stupid.

      They’ve done this for centuries, this is not what is straining the ecosystem.

      I don’t think it’s ethical to eat meat, just wanted these things to be clear.
