      When people say this, it makes it sound that they think zoophilia is bad not because it harms the animal, but because they think it’s a weird kink.

        Zoophilia IS bad because it harms the animal, and any worthwhile farmer takes care of their animals. Y’all willfully misinterpreting the meaning of “animal husbandry” is insane. Equating eating meat to zoophilia is insane. Seek therapy. Touch grass.

          Takes good care of their animals, until they’re no longer profitable and are ready to be humanely shot in the head at a quarter of their lifespan.

          But sure, taking issue with that means I need therapy.

            I specifically said equating meat to zoophilia is insane. Veganism is fine. You do you.

            Still seek therapy, though. It helps most people.

              It’s not insane, though. Both actions unnecessarily bring pain and suffering to the animals for the sake of sensory pleasure. It’s fucked up.

                We’re not going to agree, here. You’re coming at this from “any harm is suffering, no matter what” and I’m coming at this from a viewpoint of “maximum harm reduction, minus One Bad Day, for sustenance purposes.” In your eyes there is no “ethical meat” and in my eyes small farms with loving caretakers are fine.

                But you know what? We both want to see factory farms eliminated and we both want animals to live happy lives. Let’s start with that. We can still make progress, and a better world is possible.

      While that’s a point, they don’t look at you funny cuz they think you’re abusing the rice (inb4 culinary jokes)
