    Except you don’t need to eat animals and so it is the same. You’re killing animals for your entertainment, just because you eat them after that doesn’t change anything.

      People have eaten meat for thousands of years. That’s been a matter of survival, not entertainment. But my comment was about people taking joy in killing, which is what the meme is about, not taking joy in eating,. I appreciate your zeal but I’d prefer you to not ascribe to me arguments I didn’t make

      you don’t know what they need. and I seriously doubt they are killing for entertainment. I doubt they kill anything at all.

        Paying someone to kill someone/something for you is still killing.

        “but what if they have a medical condition that doesn’t exist that I just made up”

        Pretty unlikely.

          And paying someone to kill someone/something for you is still killing.

          most people don’t do that, either

            how do you think meat gets to the grocery store? someone has to kill an animal, and the person buying the meat typically pays money for it.

              the person doing the killing is usually paid by someone but most people are neither killing nor paying the killers. they are both paid long before someone walks into a grocery store.

                they are paid because people buy the products. if nobody bought the products, there would be no money in it. are you trying to say that people would be paid to kill animals even if nobody bought animal products?

                  i’m saying i know how linear time works, so i know that buying meat on a shelf can’t have caused the animal it came from to be killed.

                    Its not buying it that causes the death, its that you’ve shown you want the meat, so the company is killing the animal to produce the meat for you to buy.

                    You want meat, they produce meat. You dont want meat, they stop producing meat.

          I don’t think

          coulda stopped there.

          Furthermore, I don’t care what you think. You come up with silly bullshit like ‘you’re killing animals for entertainment’ as if they’re not consumed for food. Dislike meat eating all you want, but use your fucking brain - if it’s being killed for consumption (it’s an industry, so like, that part is important, capitalism gotta cha-ching or it’s not doing it’s insidious thing) and the factories aren’t putting out a live stream, in fact, they go to great lengths to make sure NO ONE from the outside see how the sausage is made. So it’s not entertainment.

          With thoughts like these, it would be counterproductive to waste any time caring what you think about, that would be a waste of calories.

            The “entertainment” here I believe refers to the pleasurable experience of eating the animal as food. Since it’s not out of necessity

              I don’t eat for entertainment, I don’t have that kind of budget.

              and I don’t think the people eating pork are doing it from a “GEE THIS SURE IS LUXURIOUS INPUT” - I think it’s mostly cheap protein with many downsides.

              yes I still eat bacon when I can get it. no I don’t consider it ‘entertainment’ .

              what a silly discussion.
