The Vegan Thread

I once knew a vegetarian who ate chicken regularly. I mean the awful, grey, tortured battery chicken.

I asked them how that worked.

They said it was alright because chickens were so fucking stupid.

Believe it or not, there is a serious point behind that confusion. For most people, it's fish where they will bring into play arguments like that. Fish are very dissimilar from us, and many people will decide many ethical cases on the basis of (superficial) similarity to them, e.g. 'we'd better stand by him, he's one of us'.
