    The dad is making a big show of how much he supports his daughter… Yet still orders chicken?

    (I know not all vegans demand others share their diet, but it would be a nice gesture for him to do)

          No, her being vegan is a dietary choice. No more or less ethical than being an omnivore or carnivore.

            If you don’t see ethical differences between killing a live creature and not doing so, your ethical compass is basically non-existent.

              the question is “why”. as in 'why would you kll it" and if the answer is almost any justification (for food, for clothing, for medicine), then it’s probably fine. everything dies and if their death serves some purpose, that’s good.

                Hey, would you be fine if I kill you with a justification? For example, I like your stuff, will it be OK if I kill you and take your stuff? What if I also eat your leg, will it be better or worse?

                  Carl Cohen said “Speciesism is not merely plausible; it is essential for right conduct, because those who will not make the morally relevant distinctions among species are almost certain, in consequence, to misapprehend their true obligations.” and you are demonstrating this for everyone right here

                    Siting a biological essentialist vivisection enthusiast with weird ideas about strict structures, that were frowned upon in the 80th when he was writing them, as the source of your morals, is deeply terrible by it’s own, but even besides that, what the fuck are you even trying to say by this quote? “Animals need to be exploited because it’s human’s true obligation”. This doesn’t make any sense as an argument unless you’re truing to justify your sadism by beating down every opposing argument with repetition and circular reasoning. That’s what you’re demonstrating here for everyone.

                    Animals (that is, nonhuman animals, the ordinary sense of that word) lack this capacity for free moral judgment. They are not beings of a kind capable of exercising or responding to moral claims. Animals therefore have no rights, and they can have none

                    or

                    The issue is one of kind. Humans are of such a kind that they may be the subjects of experiments only with their voluntary consent . . . Animals are of such a kind that it is impossible for them, in principle, to give or withhold voluntary consent or make a moral choice. What humans retain when disabled, animals never had

                    Yeah, much argument, very reason. “It’s cool to kill those whom I want to kill because they’re different, you see, therefore don’t have my rights”.

                It’s also important to note that there’s not a single part of the animal that doesn’t get used.

                Shit, even livestock that dies before slaughter gets used. Dirty Jobs has a few episodes about it

              “If you don’t see ethical differences between our real faith and other fake religions, your ethical compass is basically non-existent!”

                You’re on the same level of evangelism, it’s just you’re advocating both for status quo, which is ew, gross, but also for killing animals, which is a bit evil.

                  killing animals, which is a bit evil.

                  Says who?

                  status quo, which is ew, gross,

                  Evangelical vegans are certainly unpleasant and deeply disturbed individuals. Not sure if I would call them gross though.

                    If you don’t understand why killing is bad, no amount of “no u” arguments and senseless namecalling will ever hide your deep weirdness.

            I don’t mean ethical in the sense of her choice being good or bad, but in that people intentionally choose to be vegan because of their ethical belief, as opposed to a cultural preference or a medical restriction.

            TBC, I’m not a vegan.
