But you’re a murderer if you smash a bug. You KILLED a bug!
My point is that different people draw the line in different places. Most people draw that line according to how cute something is. Cute kitten is safe. Ugly cockroach is fair game.
Killing is taking a life, whether it be a cute kitten or an ugly cockroach! You kill either of them you are a MURDERER! You took a life!
It’s legal to kill a big whitetail buck, with a license, during open season. Kill a Bambi though, and you are a horrible person!
In my book, I will kill a whitetail deer legally, rip the guts out of it, peel the skin off it, cut the MEAT off the bones, and CHOW DOWN! It is pure satisfaction to me, and totally legal!
I will even cut the head off and have it mounted and put it in my living room as a trophy!
If animals are not made to be eaten, then why are they made of meat??
He never knew what hit him. He was alive and well, and 10 seconds later he was completely dead! He died in the most humane way that a whitetail could ever die. If I would have let him walk, he would have died a slow horrible death that he could have suffered for years in the wild. You might have hit him with your car, beat the heck out of him, he ran off, and took months to die. You caused him a horrible death, and I ended his life in the most humane way possible!
Now you’re contradicting yourself with your line in this thread. You’re worried about bacteria, as equal to humans (as a justification (or not) of all killing)…
Apart from the fact that some cows would survive an end to eating meat, especially if it was done gradually (and note that cows, poultry etc. are artificially selected to be tastier for humans, which causes the individual animals to suffer short and unhappy lives), our conversion of terrain for farming is leading to the mass extinction of wild animals — we are in the midst of a worldwide Great Extinction because of humans. So saving artificially bred, suffering cows is somehow better than … saving tons of wild species going extinct because of human greed? How does that work?
But the REALLY powerful reason to go fully vegan can be found here.
However, by now it’s pretty obvious that it’s too late to save the climate, because of decades of brainwashing by right-wing fascists, so you might as well eat (meat), drink and be merry, for soon we all die! (Or at least what few of us remain will be back in the Stone Ages.) The Green New Deal, even if it were fully implemented (which of course it won’t be, because of right-wing fascists and Trumpanzees, the same thing, obviously), won’t save us either, because it is predicated on the idea that we can save industrial/technological civilization by means other than fossil fuels while saving the climate. Powerful evidence suggests that we cannot do this. But that’s a different topic.
