It is so good to live vegan and not hold excuses to continue to exploit animals unnecessarily 💪🏾🌱

Farmers give animals life. Vegans promote their genocide.

@@macombus269 virtual signal? Animal based food take much less land and are far less destructive to ecosystems than mono culture farming. Therefore if you get all your nutrition from plants, you are doing more net harm to the ecosystem of the planet than those who get the bulk of their nutrition from animal foods.

[@risky_von3117]

the farmers who protect the plants you consume killed more animals than you can imagine.

Industrial farming is the real problem

Dr Peter Singer is an INTERNATIONAL hero! I am a Reductionist: I support Reductionism. That means everything differs in magnitude, not in kind. That means I do not arbitrary different categories for different opponents. ALL opponents are just opponents, whether it is some scammer trying to defraud me, or a sexual predator trying to force sex on me, or a politician forcing unjust laws on me, or a judge trying to imprison me. All opponents try to maximize the suffering & pain of their opponents. As a Vegan I treat carnivores/meat-eaters the SAME way those who oppose fraud treat convicted fraudsters like Sam Bankman Fried, or the way those opposed to pedophilia treat pedophiles. Why the F shouldn't I? There is NO logical reason why I shouldn't. As a pro-war Green, I make no distinction between a civilian vs a soldier: except in amount of firepower. Being a veteran or soldier or "terrorist" or vigilante or murderer says NOTHING about WHICH SIDE of a conflict you are on, whether you are justified or unjustified.

Counterpoint: having sex with animals is wrong

As our consciousness grows so too does the extent to which we offer compassion and consideration to increasingly alien expressions of life.

I would LOVE to be able to show Dr Peter Singer my formal Mathematical Metatheory of Justice.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks

Intresting points.

I'm not patting myself on the back, but since childhood. I never felt comfortable with eating animals and marine life... Jainism supports this, I was lucky enough to discover later on, since I was born & raised in the West.

Lex is going to cowrite a book with Peter Singer called Animal Extermination in memorium of Monica.

Animal liberation. Animals should be free to do exactly what they want: to eat and be eaten in their turn.
