      Hmmm, Greatly lower my risk of heart disease and parasites overall? Allow me to enjoy deep-frying and carbs guiltlessly? Make me feel like I can fight god and win?

        Vegans just casually setting up a class system upon which to value one life above others.

          Cannibals are the real equalists. They don’t discriminate on where their meat comes from and probably eat some veggies with their braised butt.

            I respect the life of my vegetables as much as I respect the life of my meat, show me a vegan who says they do likewise and I’ll show you a hypocrite.

                You mean a form of life that I give better care and affection to than they would receive in the wild? About the same time I had a house plant.

                I’ll let you guess which one I don’t have anymore because I realised I lacked the skills and capacity to care for it adequately. Hint: it wasn’t the dog.

                When was the last time you made direct statements instead of disingenuous leading questions?

                  You mean a form of life that I give better care and affection to than they would receive in the wild?

                  No. The last time you ate dog.

                  By the way, there are not many dogs in the wild. There wouldn’t be many dogs at all if we wouldn’t breed them.

                  When was the last time you made direct statements instead of disingenuous leading questions?

                  Regularly. Yesterday before I went to bed must have been the last time. But I tend to make exceptions when I smell narrow-minded condscending bullshit.

                  How is your equal respect for vegetables and meat reflected in your daily actions and decisions, also – but not only – considering your diet?

                  You probably don’t eat dog, do you? If not, how is that not hypocritical? The one animal you eat, the other you don’t. So much for an equal respect and treatment.

                  Even if, how do you respect the life of the meat you eat? Do you care for each cow yourself? Do you make sure that they are not bred for efficiency, neither having pain nor experiencing fear, live in absolute freedom until they die a natural death and only then you eat their remains?
