I know I know... "obligate carnivore"
Dear Christ. Every thread on this turns into a shit show. Locking.
Are these vegans forcing cats vegetarian diets in the room with us?
They are tho
Im a simple man. I see a vegan, I hate vegans. Simple as
For anyone wondering, I have this dude labeled as "fascist". I don't remember what they did, but it was probably definitive.
Wait how do you label people? Is that built into the API or is that specific to an app?
Im curious as well. Im using boost. But i see now that you can give tags to usernames? Maybe thats it?
Everyone just labeled you as "Doesn't even know how to label! Psssh!"
I'm labeling you as someone who labels people (Can you tell me how to label people?)
Its client dependent, on Boost it's called tags and I can tag people from the users profile menu or the quick menu from a comment
.........why would ANYONE just naturally wonder what you've labelled this one specific user, if you yourself can't even remember what they did?
It's more if they're wondering how shitty of a person they are (the answer is "very")
I've now got you labeled as "tells people what they've labeled people".
Watch out for that guy 🤭
I actually do have a habit of that. 😂
I can do two things, ya know.
Well I mean the loud/extremist vegan minority are quick to call meat eaters as abusers ("rapist enablers" even because we'll drink milk a "rapist" (farmer) got from a cow) just for eating meat, even though most of us are far removed from the entire process.
But here they are, making a direct immoral action to force their chosen diet on another being who in all likelihood would NOT choose themselves. And that's on top of the fact they should probably not have a pet at all based on their strict interpretation of vegan.
Nah, they deserve the call out.
This entire drama has had me thinking about that one talk show clip that has a vegan guest and was talking about how their dog "Is totally vegan now and won't even choose meat if it's in front of her". When the hosts tested the dog by bringing out a vegan dish and a meat dish, the dog devoured the meat dish lmao
Why do you think direct immoral actions are worse than indirect immoral actions? I don't buy that. Hell, you are even saying that you are absolved of responsibility for animal abuse completely just because you are paying someone to do it, and not doing it personally. Most people just deny animal abuse happens at all, or come up with ridiculous excuses for it, but you admit it is immoral, but shift your blame on others along with the responsibility for murdering them so that you can eat them.
This is like saying "x has hired hitmen to killed seven people, but my parent forces me to eat broccoli every day, so since x is commiting a indirect immoral action, my parent is the worst one of them.
I am not a moral person. I, quite frankly, do not care about animals, and I would like to think I would be able to murder an animal myself(for food), since I am doing it now, albeit indirectly, and if you can't live with the consequences of your decisions, why make them? Weigh the consequences of your actions. Do not run away from them like a coward(a lot of moralizing for a self-proclaimed immoral person).
I respect vegans. If you care about animal welfare, and are opposed to cruel treatment of animals you should not eat meat, and that's what they do.
Someone is creating a strawman argument.
Read the scientific evidence for yourself.
After these the papers that observed limited bioavailability of synthesized taurine in cats?
🤓
Hey, give me a little credit...
I've managed to misrepresent two sides of an argument in this one.
Its not a strawman, that would imply no one was actually advocating for feeding cats a vegan diet, and this post was made up to pretend they did in order to disparage vegans. This post is a reference to someone on Lemmy arguing in favor of vegan diets for cats, and the thread you linked is literally people advocating for and discussing vegan diets for cats.
That being said, if you read the comments you'll see vegan folks arguing that this is a difficult thing to safely do in practice, and needs oversight and direction from a vet.
Making decisions to feed your pets, who can't advocate for themselves, things other than what they biologically evolved process as a healthy diet, even if you believe you've balanced everything just right, is morally questionable.
Making such a decision about your own diet on moral grounds is an admirable sacrifice and difficult lifestyle change one can be proud of. Choosing to make that sacrifice on behalf of a creature you're responsible for the health and happiness of is needlessly jeopardizing the wellbeing of that creature. They can't communicate their needs, and you're the one responsible for them. Don't go making questionable choices on their behalf that they'd be powerless to do anything about.
I’m vegan and just downvoted you. Also a social media post is not scientific evidence.
nah, i just like making fun of and annoying vegans. They call me slurs that are metal as fuck like "carnist" and "bloodmouth", i love it.
You’re confusing the reactionaries with those who live by a philosophy.
I hadn’t seen this angle, awesome. There really is some pretty great hypocrisy here.
live by the sword die by tbe sword
It's all about consent.
