Eating meat is normal human behavior. Fantasizing about fucking nonhuman animals is not.

That’s a real sheep take. If a lot of people do it then it’s normal human behaviour. If you wanna apply some prescriptive values to that based on some moral ideas you have and say that common behaviour is wrong you’re gonna need to be consistent about the consequences. If you’re justifying your idea of its wrongness in terms of sentience and consent you can’t just then drop that for the thing that you like to do. Either you’ve got values or you don’t.

Equating a basic necessity to remain alive with getting personal sexual gratification from animals is a view most people in the world would consider strange. Eating meat is historically a normal human activity. Fucking nonhuman animals is not. There is no mysterious conflict in that outside of your own head.

Eating meat isn’t a necessity to stay alive, or be healthy in any way, plenty of entire cultures don’t do it. Keep deluding yourself my friend. The conflict isn’t mysterious, it’s just narcissism. You just find post hoc rationalisations for things that you like or don’t like, and decide it must be based on some kind of fundamental morality. It’s exactly right-wing extremist logic.
