  Honestly mate, comments like this don’t help.
  Quantising the whole world as good/bad with no in-between just puts people off considering another viewpoint.

  You might have meant to say “People who still eat animals should think about why they hate this, but still eat meat”, but it comes across as “People who eat any meat at all shouldn’t be mad at this”.

  What you end up doing is lumping people who are genuinely trying to reduce their consumption over time, with people who eat steak for every meal and kick puppies.

    It is always just a black and white thing without seeing the good things. Just like this kid, he could have maybe killed more and has restrained himself really hard. If we blame him for what he did he will just kill more the next time.

    I mean yeah? They are genuinely trying not to shove something in their mouth? How does that work?

    Right, thats a great reason to kill animals for your taste pleasure. You may now feel like you are better than the kid in the article.

      I am better than the kid in the article. I don’t go around killing animals with no meaning.

        Killing for fun or killing for taste pleasure are about the same amount of “meaning”. Especially to the corpses.

      I don’t need a reason, neither animals nor fetuses are sapient and Idgaf about them.

      I do think we should reduce our meat consumption, but that is only so that we don’t overexploit the environment and cause catastrophe, and so that we can eventually establish council communism and redistribute resources more evenly between the proletariat, so we may all benefit from nature’s spoils rather than the inherent inequity of the owner-worker system we have now.

        Babies and small children aren’t sapient either. So up to what age of a child would you say it is morally ok to cut their throat?
