  • the part about most people not currently being able to kill stuff themselves is a good point

    Put me in a room with a pig and tell me to kill it or I starve and I'll have a good bash at snapping it's neck. Failing that I'm sure I could strangle it or bash it's head on the floor till it died or stamp on some of its vital organs or something.

    It seems like just one step removed from the argument that vegans like to make that if you want to eat something you should be willing to slaughter it.

    I'm perfectly willing, I just think there are incredibly far more humane ways to go about ending the like of an animal than me hacking at it with a knife, or snapping it's neck, or bashing its head on the floor or so on.

    And if there was also a supply of veggie burgers in that room? Still have a good bash? I wouldn't. I'd probably share my veggie burgers with the dude.

  • So if the choice is veggie burgers or slaughter a pig in a grossly inhumane manner, obviously veggie burgers.

    Picking them off the shelf in the supermarket...

    Probably veggie burgers too as my wife is veggie and I eat veggie for 90%+ of my meals.
