alex_antoninHey vegans,
Please stop trying to convert people using science. You don't understand science, your arguments are as ridiculous as those of creationists trying to use science, and even if that weren't the case, absolutely nobody in the world has ever been convinced to become vegan or vegetarian because of these arguments, and they never will. The decision to become vegan or vegetarian is entirely emotional, and comes from the mentality of a small child finding out for the first time that meat does not grow on trees. It is only our society's insulation from the circle of life that permits this nonsense. Whether that insulation comes from capitalism or from kooky woo-woo spiritual beliefs that falsely give idiotic prey species the same consideration as sentient predator species like humans, the result is the same: only people with the emotional maturity of hyperactive four year olds become vegan or vegetarian. I also blame our media with its many depictions of talking animals, for instilling in impressionable minds the ridiculous notion that prey animals have minds as complex as ours, when the truth is that animals like cows are so stupid they are literally nothing more than walking, mooing meat.
I am 100% certain that if we lived in a society that introduced us early in life to the realities of the necessity for killing animals for meat, that none of you idiots would be vegans or vegetarians. If you want to go living your lives as emotionally stunted Peter Pans, then fine, be completely stupid fuckcustards. But stop trying to convert other people to your childish and fucking moronic mindset, especially with bullshit “scientific” arguments, made up facts, and other asinine pseudo-scientific malarkey, because you're wasting everyone's time including your own, seeing as nobody who actually knows anything about science thinks your arguments are anything but complete tripe, and the only people you're going to convince that way are other naïve, brainless buffoons with a toddler's emotional and intellectual quotient.
Also the fact of the matter is that most of the species you're trying to defend are species that would have gone extinct a long damn time ago if humans didn't keep them around for food. I don't know if you've noticed or not, but there are no cows in the wild anymore, as the species they came from (aurochs) went extinct. If we all did as you wanted and became vegans, there would be no more cows in a very short span of time. And the same with sheep, as well. And domesticated pigs and goats would die off as well, most likely. Sure, there are wild goats and pigs even now, but they aren't the same species as the domesticated ones.
