Consuming animal products doesn't inherently lead to animal cruelty. It's the fact that the vast majority of these products are produced through factory farming, which has little regard for the animals, in the search for the most efficient manner of farming possible. This does lead to animal cruelty. On the other hand, it is definitely possible to consume animal products ethically, if they are raised on a small family farm which genuinely cares and takes time for their animals, and doesn't take every shortcut possible to produce more.

So I could cut your throat without being cruel as long as we are on a small farm?

If you are humanely killing the animals, then yes. Eating meat is a part of human nature, one that I personally object from but still one that isn't immoral to act on.

spreading your genes without consent is also part of human nature and just like killing animals, it can't be done humanely.

Comments about going vegan = veganism

What else do you expect the comments under a post about an animal holocaust to be about?

Depends how many insufferable twats there are, I suppose.

Listen mate, I know you really don't like to be challenged on the ethics of something that you really don't want to change, but most of the replies here seem to be civil and pretty well-informed discussions. You knew that a lot of vegans and vegetarians would show up under a post about animals being gassed, you could have scrolled down if that made you uncomfortable, or written actual arguments for your current beliefs, but instead you decided to write replies that add nothing to the conversation, making you the insufferable twat.

Ps: yes, I know this is an insufferable reply. I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. Have a nice day!

No, I'm not "uncomfortable." Yes, you are self-aware.

Just like those annoying abolitionists, always talking about ending slavery. Ugh. It’s like so annoying, you know?
