Lol, you would think vegan people would celebrate any reform in meat eating industries.
But yup, let’s attack any imperfect movement that lessens cruelty 👍
It would be replaced by other meat, so in the end it doesn’t really matter. Dog meat is just as bad as pig meat, in this regard. This kind of reform is purely because we like dogs and not pigs.
So no progress is better than progress because progress offends the specifics of your views.
I guess we should never shut down slaughterhouses while humans still hunt or fish too huh?
It’s not even progress. It’s only progress under our cultural view that dog meat is somehow worse than pig meat. But there’s no moral basis for it.
Hunting and fishing in contrast isn’t as bad as pig or dog meat, because they cause less harm to the animals. Shutting down all slaughterhouses in this instance would be meaningful. But only making dog meat illegal is only progress under the notion that somehow dog meat offends your specific views, but pig meat doesn’t.
My whole point is that preferring pig meat over dog meat is completely arbitrary, and energy is better spent fighting the meat industry as a whole.
Eh, veganism is more a religion than a coherent and logical system of action.
It’s emotional, not logical, in terms of the people and how they think of things. Don’t ever expect reliable consistency as regards this kind of response
I do also make compelling rational discourse on the matter most of the time. Other times I make emotional ones out of frustration. Like all humans, I/we are a balance of rationality and emotion. One is not better than the other, they are complementary. You know, the whole apollonian vs dionysian thing.
On the contrary, I would argue that non vegans dim their emotional response, thus throwing away the very thing that makes them human.
