I raise my own chickens. I love them very much. Some of them get eaten. I am very grateful to those. You don’t have to be a vegan to be a good person.
In their eyes you do.
Also a backyard chicken owner. My ladies live well
You don't necessarily have to be vegan to be a good person. I'm sure your chickens wouldn't miss an egg or two every once in a while. It is pretty fucked up to claim that you love them, but also kill and eat them sometimes. Like, I love my cat, and because of that the idea of putting her dead body in my mouth makes me feel sick.
"I love my chickens so much that I kill and eat them sometimes"
Remind me not to let you watch my dogs
Wow. I’m really fucking floored by y’all’s response. Where do you think your food comes from man? Seriously. I’m not being ugly, like you are, im trying to understand how you feel like you have less impact than I do. I am just able to take the responsibility for my own food
My food comes primarily from farms. I'm not saying I necessarily have less of an impact on anything than you, all I'm saying is that I don't kill animals for food and I don't pay for them to be killed.
You mocked me, man. It only hurts in the super small space that internet strangers can reach but it exists, regardless of how small. So. Bullshit.
I pointed out some cognitive dissonance. I care a little bit more about random animals' lives than I do about random internet strangers' feelings.
And while we are talking about cognitive dissonance, where the fuck do you think YOUR food comes from?
I already said farms. Who's the dumb fuck here?
Go kill some more chickens and then claim to love them. Or maybe stop pretending you care about animals
Are you trolling me? Lol. I feel like im in the other end of some joke
I was being sarcastic you dumb fuck.
