Agree, I just don't think expecting all or even most of the human population to become vegan is a practical reality in the near future, so let's try to reduce suffering in ways that are more likely to happen such as consuming fewer animal products and being less cruel when we do. For those that are willing and able to be vegan that's great, but humans driven to eat meat and without extremely strict enforcement global veganism is a fantasy. That's like expecting the world to go without sex, reasons don't matter, not gonna happen.
I never said anything of the sort. Right from the start you've assumed a lot about me, I left a one sentance reply to an article I agreed with and you've built a straw version of me to argue with your over the top talking points. Stop putting words in my mouth because I agree that it's not realistic of feasebile for humanity to go off meat in either of our lifetimes.
What I am saying is that calling meat "humane" is an inherent contradiction and just a marketing term so people can feel better about their choice to eat meat. Just as "free range" or "cage free" chickens absolutely still live their lives in appaling conditions. It's whitewashing away treating life as a commodity.
Which is yuppie bullshit.
You're right I did, I've talked to many people and get nearly identical responses often and I assumed this of you, sorry.
Ok, that makes sense. Life is inherently not "humane", even when a lion hunts and eats it's hard to call that "humane".
Why should people feel bad about eating what their body has evolved to eat? Feel bad about participating in a disgusting capitalist animal agriculture sure, but not about following biological imperatives we all have.
Yep, that's capitalism and the scale of humanity that's the problem, not people eating what our bodies are meant to.
