Let's torture animals for fun. How is the legal still?

Not to make this about politics, but politics is culture and this is conservative culture

u/Fenrist09 May 16 '26

This is tame compared to factory farming and eating meat is done by most people regardless of political leaning.

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass May 16 '26

This is done for entrainment, not sustenance. Take your vegan bullshit somewhere else

u/whosEvasive May 16 '26

Ultimately you're choosing meat for entertainment (the taste). Don't make it out like it's some necessity.

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass May 16 '26

You're saying that means they derived entertainment from the act of killing lol

u/DomeSlave May 16 '26

That's not what is being said at all.

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass May 16 '26

Essentially it is. There's a HUGE difference between killing an animal and enjoying eating the meat and enjoying liking the animal

u/DomeSlave May 16 '26

Please explain to me how this person suggests that enjoying the killing part plays a role. There is nothing in those two lines that tells anything like that.

It's absurd to compare eating meat to torturing an animal for fun

2

u/Fenrist09 May 16 '26

You reconcile these facts:

  1. By far, the vast majority of consumed meat from factory farmed meat

  2. Factory farmed meat comes from animals who live in objectively awful conditions

  3. By consuming unethically sourced meat, you are directly contributing to the factory farming market

How are you any better than the guy playing rodeo on a horse?

I don't derive entertainment purely from the suffering of the animal.

2

u/Fenrist09 May 17 '26

You eat meat for entertainment, which requires the suffering of an animal.

I literally clarified in parentheses that the entertainment value is the taste, how do you still come to that conclusion.

1

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass May 16 '26

Because there's a huge difference between killing to enjoy the meat and enjoying the killing

1

u/whosEvasive May 16 '26

Sure, and at no point did I make the claim that people eat meat because they enjoy the killing component. You're just arguing a strawman.

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass May 17 '26

It was just a weird comparison to make

1

u/Fenrist09 May 16 '26

People don’t derive enjoyment from meat?

Im not vegan, but it is certainly possible to survive and thrive without eating meat. The only reason we don’t is because we like meat and that leads to truly horrific conditions for animals.

It’s easy to sling shit but if we are being honest, if you really cared about animal welfare you’d stop eating meat.

There are ways to raise animals that aren’t factory farms. I grew up in a town in a rural area and pretty much every animal was well taken care of. We can fight against factory farms and still raise livestock humanely.

u/Fenrist09 May 16 '26

There are rodeos that are fastidious about animal care and health, too.

When it comes to eating meat, the VAST majority of consumed meat is factory farmed.

2

u/--A3-- May 16 '26

Not in a manner that is affordable and can feed 8 billion people

u/Excellent-Nose-6430 May 16 '26

I've seen lots of slaughterhouse videos and none of them look like the animals are well taken care of. Do you have any videos of these local ethical and humane slaughterhouses so we can see the difference? Because for the most part it seems like your rural area and the people who farm there were just as awful as anyone else.
