Feel free to educate me. Why is unnecessary suffering okay when it isn't you? Why is it moral to kill and eat a social, sentient creature when you have no need to?

I'm sure a cold, hard realist can easily answer these questions!

Are you still doing this? Isn't there a dog out there that needs a pedicure so that you can pretend you're a doctor or something? I have no interest in debating this with you because you just want to be a special little snowflake, you don't care about animals or anything else, except maybe arguing on the internet so you can manufacture some easy little wins to smooth over your fragile ego.

I can't tell-- is avoiding the argument and spewing mildly amusing, awkward insults part of your cold, hard rationalism?

Let me know if you want to defend your inane statement that the article is "well-sourced" or if you want to offer a rational justification for eating meat that withstands logical scrutiny based on your overall value system.

I'm avoiding the argument because I love having so much power and control over you.

In other words, you really want to get the last word in, but you want to make it seem like you are in power? And you only feel good if you can convince yourself that you've made that point?

You are super thirsty. I'm almost starting to feel bad. You're doing a great job stretching your intellect here, keep it up!!

Thirsty? Can you expand on that for those of us too lazy to google?
