What are you studying that requires work at farms?

Yeah I love cartels, personally I'm a member of Cartelly Inc Drug Manufacturing LLC Ltd.

Why do you have to work there? Also... piglins? Where is this farm, minecraft?

The USDA recorded 69 violations in a year.

Nice

tehre is no reason to believe non-human animals can participate in an ethical society, so there is no reason to include them in our ethical systems.

But we do. You mentioned how you ought not to kick a dog, for instance. The difference is that we treat some animals as companions while treating others as resources for exploitation. If you truly believe that there is no reason to be ethical to animals, why not kick that dog? Or maybe boil it alive?

So it just loops back to speciesism then? You don't care about the pain animals face, only humans?

The plants communicate for survival because of natural selection, not because they are avoiding pain

Pain might be an inevitable facet of food production (crop deaths). But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to eliminate as much pain as we reasonably can.

Pain is an inevitable facet of surgery

Surgery is a moral good

an inevitable facet of surgery cannot make surgey bad

surgery remains a moral good

The fact that pain is inevitable to surgery doesn't mean we should stop giving patients anesthesia and pain medication.

I had a stroke while reading this. Can you clarify what you meant?

No, but it might make communites about hunting or fishing against the rules. Hopefully loving every day won't be prohibited though.

Even if plants might feel pain, we are certain that animals feel pain. Also if you think for whatever reason that plants feel pain, then, well, a vegan diet uses less plants because its a more efficient food source. Plants feeling pain, whether true or false, isn't an argument against veganism in any way.

And you can't prove it either. provide some evidence for your claim (that isn't some unrelated study misinterpreted by silly news anchors)

I get it man. Having to act in the best interest of someone who can't communicate can be stressful. That's why I'd never want to take care of a baby or adopt an animal. I would like to volunteer at a shelter, however.

I'm not sure how I am?

and with cells from someone I know/love

what's wrong babe? you've barely even touched your cannibal steak.

In my mind its all about acting in the animals best interest. Childbirth isn't easy on a cats body and neither is the stress they will obtain if they desire reproduction and are not able to do so. Spay and neuter are therefore in the cats (or dogs) best interest

I prefer Elwood's organic dog meat. It's pretty much the only dog meat vendor in the US, sadly.

Have you stopped to think that plants also suffer stress when being picked?

Yes. And they don't

The other vegan I know choose veganism because of serious life-threatening issues where meat was causing hospital visits. She went cold turkey and will watch you eat a steak and wishing she could do the same.

That doesn't really sound like a vegan to me, that's just a person who is on a plant based diet. Veganism is a moral stance
