koele verhaal, broer

Cool story, bro.

"Just because something is currently determined as not being sentient, doesn't give us the right to thus exploit the lifeform." Oh ... is it like this now? Are you for real? Do you not see that that is the <very> same argument many meat-eaters make to bring your "exploitation" of plants to the same level of harm?

As for the rest:
• don't pretend to have much less blood on your hands than I have on mine, for you are using hardware that contributed to human suffering and "collaterally" non-humans aswell. Are you in denial about the pollution and suffering to humans and non-humans your First-World lifestyle brings along, satisfied with having eliminated a neglectable fraction of it through veganism?
• And letting pets live out their lives, instead of euthanising them painlessly, is hardly justifiable in a world where resources are already in shortage and when pets have no attachments, no aspirations, no plans in this world.

I call "denialist" on you!

It's funny though, that you are the one complaining about me "being annoying", while you started this conversation, on my channel. No sorry: I will respond aslong as you place disagreeable comments under my nose. You're free to keep this up aslong as you want though.

I still have contention with your labeling of all consumption of animal protein as "abuse", whereas I understand it to be the 'use' of an animal for the defendable goal of personal preservation; it's only an industrialised version of the predator-prey relationship that you find all throughout the animal kingdom; would you label all other forms of predation "abuse" too? You might not like the way it is and that's fine; I hate nature too (I however don't see all of its minions as innocent): but then alter your stance towards clearly defined terms instead of trying to change the meaning of those terms, for you are only creating a communicational gap with the people ou are trying to bring to a certain understanding, while forcing people of integrity to oppose you because of factual misrepresentation.

P.S. - Just because something is currently determined as not being sentient, doesn't give us the right to thus exploit the lifeform. Don't demolish the forests, don't contribute to overfishing, don't be a gluttonous, psychopathic, megalomaniac dickhead.

Eat locally-grown plants, or sustainable (natural) crops. You don't have justifications for imposing massive amounts of suffering, but you have every logical reason to abstain from contributing to such.

Obviously, as already stated: SENTIENCE IS THE OBJECTIVE. Without a brain, sentience is impossible.

It doesn't matter if you love or don't love anyone or anything. It is objectively bad to harm animals. It is wrong to harm animals. Animal agriculture harms not only animals, but people and the planet as well. Horrors of which you contribute.

For someone who abuses animals, perhaps you shouldn't be so concerned with "abusing" grammar.

Are you done being annoying, yet?

And let me tell you another thing: I don't "love" animals; I don't even 'like' them. They have, unlike individual humans, NO redeeming qualities and I certainly cannot be bothered with that fuzzy feeling that you have for them. They mean nothing to me because they are devoid of meaning: they are but conduits of pain, fear and satisfaction; they might be similar to many humans, but they are nothing like me. And having to share spaces with either kind of vermin is a nuisance that impacts upon my whole unasked-for life in a definite negative sense.

In short: you're appealing to emotions (which don't hold the same values in me as in you) and that is why <so far> your "efforts are wasted" on me.

Don't abuse the term genocide; you're showing contempt for the real victims! Millions upon millions of humans were and still are atrociously exterminated for mere gains and you're going to equate that to one species surviving upon members of another species?! Go get bent!

Now, if you're anywhere near serious, you might want to take counterargumants to your position serious too and look for ways to meet both sides concerns: in case you might not know, not all animal protein is produced by sentient species, yet derivates of sentients is all animal protein that is found on our Western markets; think about that.

And just because someone adopts a pet, does not mean they then should gluttonously harm other animals. Rescuing a shelter animal is a good deed. Murdering animals is bad and wrong. You don't need to harm animals, but you have the ability to love them. (The pet can be vegan, btw, in care you're gonna try that weirdo card which again would have no relevance to the discussion of human entitlement to animals and your perpetuation of sentient genocide.)
