Well, no one is perfect. A bit hard to morally justify killing animals for no real reason though
So it's "no one is perfect" when it's someone you like, but "you're a bad person" when it's someone you dislike.
The reason is to eat them. Following that logic, every indigenous culture that eats meat is constantly doing something morally unjustifiable.
Comparing indigenous people who actually hunt their food to westerners who cause death and suffering on an industrial scale because veggies are yucky is just disingenuous. I get it, you like your murder treats.
Okay so it's acceptable to hunt for meat, and the issue is industrial farming rather than eating meat. If that's the case we can take a more tempered approach than "all western meat-eaters are bad people". After all, they didn't set up the system of industrial farming, and they grew up with it as a part of their culture.
Also, I don't eat meat and I strive to eat vegan wherever possible. But I like to think I have a materialist, non-moralist approach to the issue. At least, I don't get angry at people who haven't come to the same conclusion as me.
