Say there was a mentally disabled human who did not recognize themselves in a mirror. Would it be ethical to jam metal pipes down their throats and force feed them until their livers become diseased? Or cut their throats and tear their livers out? If not, why is it OK to do this to ducks and geese?

It's pronounced cash. It's a dumb name for the restaurant. It's a restaurant in Little Rock, Ark. Overpriced, animal abusing establishment.

Cows can live up to 20 years but the average age at slaughter for cows killed for their flesh is about 1.5 years.

I think your first point is an appeal to futility argument. It's also a good reason to be vegan as crop production to feed animals requires more labor, more injuries. In fact, slaughterhouses are some of the most dangerous places to work. Back to the victims though, there's no respectful way to kill someone who does not want to die - be it a deer or a human. It was part of white culture to wipe out indigenous people and own slaves and there were many whites in the civil war who died trying to protect the institution of slavery which was a part of their culture. Oat milk is based, I encourage you to go vegan.

The dairy industry kills cows, the egg industry grinds up baby male chicks alive.

Do you understand that poem was written by a vegan who lived over a thousand years ago?

That refutes your claim veganism is a modern moral stance since it's been practiced over a thousand years. There were practicing vegans in major world religions even before then.

I do know I'm a modern human. If you're implying that because I'm a modern vegan, veganism is a modern moral philosophy, that's like saying a Model T Ford is a modern vehicle if someone today drives one around.

There's no greater privilege than thinking you're so important as a human, a sentient beings whole existence is worth less than 15 minutes of your taste pleasure. That's actual privilege, most vegan staples (lentils, tofu, chickpeas) are cheaper and have more protein than animal products.

I don't have to win you over. Either you'll understand not being vegan is abusive to animals or not. I don't buy your gaslighting that you going vegan is dependent on you liking me or not.

I was not implying the person is a rpist. I was using rpists as an example of why getting sensory pleasure from an act doesn't make it morally right.

To use a modern, Western, privileged, moral stance on something humans have been doing for millennia is just silly.

You are diseased in understanding and religion.

Come to me, that you may hear something of sound truth.

Do not unjustly eat fish the water has given up,

And do not desire as food the flesh of slaughtered animals,

Or the white milk of mothers who intended its pure draught

for their young, not noble ladies.

And do not grieve the unsuspecting birds by taking eggs;

for injustice is the worst of crimes.

And spare the honey which the bees get industriously

from the flowers of fragrant plants;

For they did not store it that it might belong to others,

Nor did they gather it for bounty and gifts.

I washed my hands of all this; and wish that I

Perceived my way before my hair went gray!

You're still supporting animal abuse if you're vegetarian. Dairy and egg industries sexually abuse cows and grind up male chicks. If you care about animals, go vegan.

That's a strange definition of love if it involves killing the individual you claim to care about. I don't think a person can love someone and then kill them unnecessarily. I don't think the length of time something has been happening makes it morally right or wrong. Slavery and colonization have been going on for long periods of time and most people recognize those might makes right practices as unethical. If there was another species that hunts, kills, and consumes humans, would you be OK being the victim if it was a part of their culture and in their same ecosystem?
