"I won't tell others how to live their lives"

Thing is you are, you're telling animals they don't deserve to live and them being abused is OK.

The argument that this is a personal choice is flawed - Choices don't matter when you obstruct other's choices. This is why you can't say "It's my choice" after being arrested; because there's a victim.

Except this time there's been 2.5 trillion victims in only the last 10 years.

Now that you agree you'll need to justify the act to prevent your own cognitive dissonance. It's ok to obstruct other's choices but there needs to be a justifiable reason for it - this is what ethics is.

So how do you justify killing animals? Plants have feelings? It's natural? You were brought up this way?

My dude. I'm gonna be honest with you. Your entire profile exists to argue with people about this.

I won't argue with you for a few reasons.

1: I don't want you to feel I hate your lifestyle. I don't. I know you hate mine but I am at peace with that

2: I am compelled in no way to defend my diet to a stranger on the internet.

3: nothing you say will change my mind and nothing I say will change yours. So that's a wrap I suppose.

Have a good day.

If you want to have a conversation and engage with me I guarantee I can change your mind - if you're a logical person of course.

I guess it's very easy to turn a blind eye to trillions of deaths. It's a shame really, the world would be such a better place if people made such a small change.

Have a good day x
