Do you kill them?
Yes. I do. I have a separate small flock. I feed my family a proportion of our food over half that I grow, rise, and make myself. It would be impossible with out the protein from the chickens. And before anyone says some dumb shit to me, you do the math of your monoculture grown vegan food and if you still think my overall footprint is greater than yours, you are wrong.
That must be really hard on you. I've killed animals before and that's why I know I never want to be part of that and I never want to make anyone else do that for me. I know the statistics, people who kill animals are more likely to abuse drugs, self harm, hurt others, and commit suicide. When you kill animals you kill part of yourself. You have to, because our human instincts make us empathize with animals.
That's why I'm vegan. I don't pretend like consumer choices are going to save the environment - nothing either of us do as individuals matters on that front. I'm vegan because someone has to kill those animals and it fucks people up. Maybe you're fine. I doubt it.
Seek help.
You are an insane person and a coward. You buy your food at a supermarket and are not able to comprehend the impact of your precious soy. As a matter of fact, your not even on my level really. You are probably a child. If you ever need help, call me.
Oh honey.
You're not improving your argument by making inane and disparaging comments like this.
what would you think of a backyard farm where chickens are only killed once they're dead? or, are only basically killed when they would otherwise die from old age in the next, say, 2 months, to just put a random number on it? would only be killed when they are diseased, have cancer etc. Cause we already do that with people a good amount of the time, assisted suicide, hospice, whatever.
also what do you think of if we just ate like old people
I'd honestly be okay if someone ate their 17 year old dog that they had to put down because she broke her hip or whatever; they lived a good and long life filled with love and were put down humanely. I think that's weird as fuck and I sure as hell wouldn't do it, but I don't have a problem with it. I guess.
You have to realize how ridiculous the concept is, though, right?
Well yeah, it's kind of ridiculous, but I wonder like. How much of that is cause we just don't do it that often? It's sort of like if you saw someone just fill up a cup with their spit and then drink the whole thing. It's nasty, but is there anything really wrong with it? I don't actually know, I don't know anything about the biology and consumption of a large amount of spit, I imagine it has to be pretty alright since we're mostly consuming spit all the time, but I don't really know. Just an example, anyways.
Can I have dibs on your dog? Or, put another way, are you gonna finish that?
This comment was a rollercoaster ride. I don't know how to feel. Maybe it's time for me to go to sleep.
