I've already explained this once before to vegan ****s. There are different classes of animals, with different levels of morality in killing.
Domesticated pets: These have been selectively bred for tens of thousands of years to fulfill a specific purpose which benefits humans. Furthermore, the close proximity of humans has led to them developing loyalty with their owner, almost like a surrogate parent. Thus, it is not only wasteful to kill and eat such animals, but cruel as you would be betraying their trust.
Domesticated livestock: These have been selectively bred for tens of thousands of years specifically for consumption and docility. Their purpose in this world is become food for humans, therefore it is not wrong that we must kill them to feed ourselves. They have no sense of loyalty or self preservation. If they were to be released, they would wander away from their owners, only to become eaten in the wild.
Beasts of burden: Similar to pets, these have been selectively bred for tens of thousands of years to fulfill a specific purpose (generally to bear a load or to transport/be controlled by humans). As a result, killing and eating these kinds of animals would have similar repercussions to eating a pet.
Game animals: Should be left alone in the wild to minimize environmental impact by humans, except when in hunting seasons in order to cull the population so that said environment does not fall out of balance. For example, deer will breed so quickly, that many will begin to starve to death and some may even wander into human territories and highways, causing a danger to drivers and themselves. Eating them is common and fine, as it has been practice for many years and can be done safely.
Exotic animals: Should NEVER be eaten due to unknown diseases being able to be picked up by humans (HIV and COVID).

It's just an emotional connection because from the time we're kids we grow up around a ton of them and learned to associate them as companions.
As someone with experience with these animals, pigs are smarter than dogs. Cows are hella sweet and have lots of emotion too and I feel bad about eating beef and pork. SRS.
I know it's wrong and if there was a solid vegan alternative for taste and nutrition at good cost I'd switch easily.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I disagree with this classification. It's an appeal to tradition. Slavery was once the accepted norm but as we grew as a society we realised how appalling it was and changed the rules.
We can't use the history of these animals as companions as justification for not slaughtering them while we slaughter more sentient creatures than them. That's extremely unfair and lacking in deeper insight and context.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I mean technically, you could eat them without repercussion because they are animals, but morally it is wrong. The dogs that we know now are largely domesticated for human companionship and not for eating. Also a mass majority of the population loves dogs/cats, so eating them feels morally wrong to them. In a country like China, it's also not seen as taboo as it is everywhere else so they are cool with it. In China too there's also reports of people stealing peoples dogs off the street to eat, which is fukked up. Had we raised pigs as dogs, and dogs as pigs, you wouldn't care about eating a dog, and would care about eating a pig. A lot of it is rooted in what we've grown up with, and how easily things could be different if the roles were reversed.

I started eating a vegan diet months before watching Earthlings. Watching it just reinforced my motive. Everyone could be getting adequate nutrition via vegan food sources and supplementation without needing to enslave/slaughter millions of sentient creatures, yet vegans are the weird ones. But hey, I spent 25 years of my life eating animals and animal products without thinking twice. It just shows you how meat consumption is so embedded into our civilization. I'm optimistic though. Nowadays, transitioning to a vegan diet is pretty easy with all of the imitation animal products that exist (e.g. Beyond Burger and co.). With climate change as humanity's biggest threat, and mounting evidence that animal agriculture is the largest global contributor to hurting the planet, I believe we will witness a mass shift toward veganism this decade.

No its not. You Americucks are so fkd up that you steal land, have psychological problems(which is why you always lose wars(cus ur puccis), and start em), and then put the dirty dog on a pedal-stool, which is a wild animal at the end of the day but domesticated, to be your "best friend".
Here's the thing, soyos, if you have a pure bred like a Pomeranian or Yorkie, nobodies gonna mess with that thing. The same way you use your dog in the US, is the same way they use it in CHYNA. The only difference is in China we chop suey the strays, which at the end of the day is a wild animal, no different from a boar.
So stop talking mad chit about the GOAT CHYNA because you Ameri*******s can't find real friends and that you want to look holier than thou by protecting doggos and animalos. Id kick *******s like this because they are fake as fk. I see right through ur bullchit.
America always loses.Last edited by tunafishha; 08-14-2020 at 09:35 AM.

I don't support factory farming, but am all about hunting my own meat, which I do. I know where every bite came from. We have sustainable populations here thanks to great wildlife management.
A couple of deer, bear or maybe a moose and I am set for the year. Freezer has lots of fresh caught fish too.
As for killing livestock, I cant do it.
A cow that you raised by hand, and then one day shoot int he face? What the hell.
An animal in the bush knows I am no good, and life is fair there. I don't always win, the deer doesn't always win. That's why I bowhunt. How it should be imo.
Plus my methods are a good death for an animal. All things die, and you only need to watch the evidence in the snow of a wolf pack killing a moose or deer once to know that deer suffered for hours and sometimes days before the wolves tore its insides out and started devouring it ass first while it was still alive...
An arrow through the lungs and a 30m sprint is how i would want to go given the choice.

Because dogs have been bred for hundreds of thousands of years to be COMPANIONS
Dogs understand our facial expressions
Dogs understand our voice commands and tone
A dog will see a human crying and immediately go to comfort them.
A dog will give it's own life to protect you.
No other animal really even comes close to dogs in this aspect.
Slaughtering any animal is cruel yeah but it is 100x worse to slaughter dogs

Was about to post a study then realized you're that bitter Anti-White Asian coper guy, just lol at you
This is a good point and I agree with you. I still think it's worse to eat dogs because of our history together, but would never eat a chimp either for this reason. The more intelligent an animal the greater the depths of their suffering27
